Sheffield’s Endcliffe Village is repeatedly voted the best university accommodation in Britain — a leafy, self-contained student parkland in Broomhill, ten minutes from a campus that runs along its own tram line. Value, greenery and safety are the story here.
First-years who apply on time are guaranteed university accommodation, and the overwhelming majority choose the Endcliffe & Ranmoor villages.
| Residence | Area | ≈ £/week | To campus | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Endcliffe Village | Broomhill | 130–170 | 20-min walk / 10 min bus 120 | Award-winning parkland village; shop, gym and hub on site |
| Ranmoor Village | Ranmoor | 130–165 | 25 min (bus 120) | Endcliffe’s quieter sibling |
| City-centre residences | St George’s/city | 110–150 | 5–10-min walk | For students who prefer urban living |
Everything a student needs within easy reach — so nobody is wondering where the nearest pint of milk or prescription is coming from.

Our university application consultancy takes families from shortlist to offer — strategy, personal statement, and interview preparation led by the academics themselves. And when the offer lands, we help you plan the practical move with guides like this one, verified for your child’s exact situation.
Figures are indicative for the 2025/26 academic year, drawn from published university and sector data, and change annually. Distances and journey times are approximate. During consultancy we verify current costs, availability, and application deadlines for your child’s specific offer.
