When it comes to student houses, Leicester has many to choose from. 

It’s not surprising really, after all, Leicester is a city with two excellent universities – De Montfort University and Leicester University – and students come from all over the world to study there. 

But, when finding student houses in Leicester, it’s important to check that they’re not only in good condition, but are right for your own individual needs.

 

Things to take into account 

Students choosing the right student houses in Leicester should take into account the following factors – put in priority order, depending on what matters most.  

  • Location – do you want to be near university, close to some good student nightlife, in walking distance of the shops, or on a good public transport route, for example?
  • Security – is the accommodation in a safe area? Is the property secure? 
  • Is parking or bike storage available?
  • Budget – what is affordable, bearing in mind the cost of other bills in addition to the rent
  • Who you’ll live with – would you prefer to be on your own or with others? 
  • Is it furnished or unfurnished and what appliances are included.
  • What type of student housing do you require? This could be:
    • University halls of residence 
    • Private halls of residence
    • Studio flat 
    • Private rented flat share 
    • Private rented house share 
    • Property that you or your family own

 

Benefits of renting a student house in Leicester

While choosing student halls to live in your first year might be the most obvious choice, there are many benefits of choosing a student house over student flats or halls. 

These include having your own independence, getting to decide who you live with and having many more accommodation options available to you, based on factors such as size and location.
