Ecclesall

If you like the idea of having great cafés, restaurants, bars and shops right on your doorstep, Ecclesall could be the perfect area for you.

Stretching out from the city centre towards Hunter's Bar, Ecclesall Road – or "Eccy Road" as it's often called – is one of Sheffield's best-known student areas. It's particularly popular with Sheffield Hallam students because Collegiate Campus is just off Ecclesall Road, but it also works well for University of Sheffield students who don't mind a slightly longer walk to campus.

Why students choose Ecclesall area:

• Walking distance to all University buildings
• Lovely residential area with green space nearby
• Good transport links
