The price of student accommodation in Leeds varies a lot. Budget lettings further away from the city centre (areas like Headingley and Burley Park) are more affordable, while more high-end offerings a stone’s throw from the universities tend to be more expensive. Prices can range from £100 per week in large student house shares to £300 per week for large and luxurious studios.
You can book student accommodation in Leeds from the first week in November for the next academic year, which begins the following September. Leeds is a popular city, and student halls sell out quickly. It’s a good idea to get your application in sooner rather than later to get the hall or apartment that suits you best.

Most students in Leeds live around the edge of the city centre in Hyde Park, Headingley, Woodhouse and Burley Park.

These areas offer great access to all Leeds universities and the city centre.

No, you don’t have to stay in Leeds student halls. Even though most universities offer their own halls of residence close to the campus, there are independent Leeds student flats and privately run halls with Unite Students, as well as group housing. It’s up to you to choose!
Leeds is relatively inexpensive for students compared to other cities in the UK. The large student population means there are lots of shops, bars, pubs, cafes and restaurants aimed at students by offering discounts, deals and offers to help students get by on a low budget.
The universities in Leeds have their own student accommodation which is allocated once applicants receive their official offers. While students get to put down their preferred place to live, supply and demand means that sometimes not everyone gets their first choice of accommodation. If this happens, you can opt to find your own halls through private lettings or with student accommodation providers like Unite Students.
There are three main options students can choose when it comes to university accommodation. They can opt for university accommodation, private lettings, or student accommodation providers like Unite Students. Each has its own benefits and drawbacks, and students should consider things like location, pricing, security and quality when deciding where to live in Leeds.
When looking for student accommodation in Leeds, students should decide where abouts in Leeds they would like to live first. The city centre, Headingley and Hyde Park are all popular. Students should also consider their budget, and whether bills will be included at their accommodation. Also think about factors like room size, type and the number of flatmates you might like to live with.
