Many people find they meet lifelong friends when living in student accommodation. It is a part of student life and a big step in finding your independence after living at home. You can choose to stay in University-managed accommodation close to the International College, or arrange your own private accommodation.
For students starting their programme during the 2021/22 academic year and decide to travel to the UK, we have accommodation available at St Vincent's Place.
Please note: all under 18s are offered University managed residences.
Once you are enrolled on your course, our Central Student Support Team will contact you with more information about the accommodation.
My first friends here were people from other rooms in my block. On the first day we all were a bit shy because we had just moved in and were missing our homes. But after a few days we became really close; we spent time together, we went to Meadowhall to play some games and after a few weeks we became really close friends and we can share our thoughts, share our problems and do things together.

Located in the heart of the city, near the main campus and next to the International College, St Vincent’s Place is our new University-managed development which incorporates a beautifully renovated church. The church is now a place to socialise, offering a café, cinema room, games and a shared kitchen. There is also a Residence Life Mentor to help you settle into life in the UK through organised social activities and student support.

The above room type offers the following benefits:
Shared facilities and services
It is important to arrange your accommodation before you arrive in the UK. This will ensure you have no difficulty confirming your course at immigration or when you register with the police.
We are offering flexible tenancy start dates which means that you can check-in on any date between now and Saturday the 2nd of April 2022.*
The University will ask you (within your application) for your expected arrival date and begin your contract on the Saturday after you arrive.
For example: if you were to arrive and check into your room between Sunday the 2nd of January and Saturday the 8th of January, your contract would begin on Saturday the 8th of January 2022. Therefore, you would not pay any fees for the days between arriving and your official contract start date.
*Please note that you can check-in after the 2nd of April 2022, however bookings are not yet open for this period. If you need to book accommodation to check in after April 2022, please email the CSS Team to organise this at usic.css@studygroup.com.

University Managed Accommodation (St Vincent’s Place) En-suite room | £137.90 |
If you are booking your own accommodation privately it is important that you let us know where you are staying and that you are staying less than 60 minutes away from the International College.
Look out for fraud
Scammers may specifically target international students so it is important to be able to recognise common signs of fraudulent activity and know what to do if you come across it. Let us know at fraudreporting@studygroup.com if you have any concerns about fraudulent activity when dealing with a private accommodation provider so that we can help to protect you and other international students in case they are targeted in the same way.
All under 18s must live in University-managed accommodation. If you are younger than 18 years old when you start your programme you are guaranteed a room in University Managed Accommodation.
Students who are 18 years old or over are invited to University managed or third party managed accommodation depending on availability. Once students are confirmed on their course they will be sent information on the accommodation available for their intake.
Sheffield is a friendly, multicultural city. It has also been ranked the greenest in the UK. There is plenty to see and do on and off campus, or you can take a bus into the countryside to explore the beautiful Peak District.
