Finding the Right Student Accommodation in Sheffield

14 October 2025

It’s coming up to that time of the year where students are starting to thinking about their accommodation for the 26/27 academic year in Sheffield



We’ve compiled some tips to make the process a bit easier for you.

Start searching as early as possible – although October might seem like too early to start looking for a house for next July, the earlier you start looking, the better chance you have of getting the house you want!

Make sure to choose the right people – remember you have to live with your housemates for a whole year. If you’re stuck with people who you don’t get on with, it may make your university experience a diffcult one.

Make a list of what you want in a house- kitchen space, garden, living room space, bedroom sizes etc

Decide a budget for rent (don't forget to include your bills)– decide amongst your house of how much you are prepared to spend per week, for rent and bills combined You can then refine your search depending on this budget.

Ask the current tenants and landlord questions – put together a list of questions to ask to get the best feel of the house. Questions about parking, about the area, what other tenants like about the house, location, amenities etc 

      If you have any questions then please feel free to contact us, we are always happy to help make the process as stress free as possible for you and we have a depth of knowledge about Student Accommodation in Sheffield.

Top 10 tips for settling back into uni after the Summer Break

Top 10 Tips for Settling Back Into Student Life After the Summer Break



The long summer break is over, and it’s time to head back to lectures, late-night study sessions, and life in your student accommodation. Whether you’re a returning student or starting your second year in a new city, adjusting back into university life can feel a little overwhelming.

At Capland Properties, we know how important it is to feel comfortable, supported, and ready for the year ahead. That’s why we’ve put together our top 10 tips to help you settle back into student life smoothly.

1. Get Organised Early

Unpack as soon as you arrive at your student flat. A tidy room helps you feel more at home and keeps stress levels low once classes start.

2. Refresh Your Budget

Summer spending habits can creep in, so now’s the perfect time to set a realistic student budget. Track your rent, bills, food, and fun so you can avoid money worries later.

3. Stock Up on Essentials

From stationery to groceries, make sure your student accommodation is well stocked. Having everything you need makes the transition back into study mode much easier.

4. Reconnect with Friends

Catching up with flatmates or course friends helps you feel settled faster. If you’re new, don’t worry — most students are also looking to meet new people.

5. Ease Back Into a Routine

Swap late nights for earlier mornings before classes begin. Getting back into a healthy routine will make lectures and seminars far less painful.

6. Explore Your Neighbourhood

If you’ve moved into new student accommodation with Capland Properties, take time to explore your local area. Find the nearest shops, cafes, bus stops, and libraries to feel more grounded.

7. Make Your Room Feel Like Home

A few personal touches like photos, cushions, or plants can make your flat feel cosy. Feeling comfortable in your space helps you focus on your studies.

8. Stay on Top of Admin

Sort out student loans, course timetables, and university paperwork early. The sooner you tackle admin tasks, the less stressed you’ll feel later.

9. Look After Your Health

Returning to university often means busy schedules, but don’t neglect your wellbeing. Eat balanced meals, get enough rest, and keep hydrated.

10. Embrace the Year Ahead

Finally, approach the new term with positivity. Whether it’s joining a new society, focusing on your studies, or making new friends, take this as a chance to make the most of student life.
