What is the best Sheffield Hallam Accomodation?

Well, I am from Sheffield university, but I've got an impression that Park Student Village is simply a perfect place for Hallam students. Some three Hallam'ers live with me, and they're very happy with the acommodation and location. The university is just down the hill, practically 5 min walk, the rent is rather low (67-75ppw for the next year), all facilities are new, there's a large park nearby, etc.

Universities often advertise their own acommodation excessively, misleading the students (especially Sheffield uni students - the en-suite prices begin with 100ppw! And the rooms are smaller than in Park Student Village, which also has way lower prices). It's always good to look for some non-university alternatives, especially in Sheffield, where supply of student acommodation is ample. There are much better offers out there (I've seen prices as low as 38ppw).

All in all, do not spare some effort to look beyond the widely popular choices, as there might be some better offers financially and even socially. Just need to do some investigation on the net.

This is good advice however for your first year you need to think about the best way to make friends and the easiest way to do that is through halls. Ive heard some complaints about the forge if im honest, but this year there doesnt seem to be many complaint about anywhere. You need to think about what you prioritise, e.g. distance from uni (whichever campus ur at), distance from town if ur based at collegiate, price, ensuite etc etc. Im a first year at hallam now so if you have any more specific questions dont hesitate to ask xx

so is vicotria halls the place to be then? the price is kind of putting me off if im honest like

I live at the Student Village, and its good for getting into Uni (but bad if you're on Collegiate Campus), and quite close to town. It's not as close as Victoria Halls for example, but its walkable. It's also a lot cheaper than a lot of places too... but its up a hill which is a massive pain to walk up!

Isn't it probably over a mile to the city centre?

20/30min walk. So it depends on what you consider to be too far to walk. If you're going out to West Street its MILES though,

Hi,

I'm looking at accomodation for Sheffield Hallam and I like the sound of Victoria Hall, Leadmill and the Forge. I will be at the collegiate campus. Are these halls too far from that campus?

Thanks x
