Allen Court or St. Vincent's Place?

Hi, I'm debating whether to apply for accomodation at Allen Court or St.Vincent's Place. St. Vincent's Place is cheaper and I prefer that the showers have a door rather than a curtain but I've heard it was exclusively international students and only recently they're allowing home students too and the rooms are smaller. Generally, I've heard city accomodation is mostly international students and majority of people are applying to Ranmoor/Endcliffe. I prefer the look of city accomodation though and was wondering if the social life is still good and why so many more people apply to Ranmoor/Endcliffe. Please could people share their experiences or what they've applied for?

Hi I can only relay what my son has mentioned. Basically where ever you decide to live you will meet and make friends with other students across all accommodation. I don’t know about St Vincent’s but Allen Court is fine, if you sticking to your budget. You may have more fun at Endcliffe or Ranmoor. I think a few nights are fun at the Edge if there is football on but most nights are spent at the SU. City seemed quieter but obvs nearer to clubs in town and Uni.

Heyo, I've lived at Allen Court!

And yeah, the walls aren't that great for blocking sound. I'm a home student and I've found that there is still a fair amount of Home Students living in the halls.

And in Allen Court the flats have 6 rooms.

IMO, I think you hear more people applying to Ranmoor/Endecliffe since that's where the majority of Student Accommodation run by the uni is. However, there are a lot of independent companies around the area of Allen Court and St Vincents. Student Roost, Unite Students, IQ and a few smaller companies, if you're guaranteed to go to Sheffield it might be also worth to have a look at these options too

Hi! I'm going to be living in Allen Court this upcoming semester and I was wondering if in the communal kitchen area that you share with your flatmates, does the uni/accom already provide a kettle or toaster for us to use or do we need to bring those ourselves?
