When it comes to student accommodation, Nottingham has such a wide variety of options – ensuring that every student,
no matter their situation or desired living space, will find something right for them. Whether you rent privately or
through your university, there are many options to choose from.
If you wish to live with flatmates, there are many multiple-bedroom housing/apartment accommodation options
available. For instance, you could choose a six-bedroom
apartment for large sharing, or possibly a
four-bedroom
house for a smaller group dynamic. Also, if you do not yet have people you already plan
to live with, there are
several house sharing options available where you can rent an individual room in an existing house/flat to be shared
with others.
If you desire more privacy and want to live on your own, you will find plenty of one-bedroom
apartments or even two-bedroom
options for those who want extra space.
There is truly something for everyone when it comes to student accommodation in Nottingham.
To live in student halls at Nottingham University, the prices range from around £110 per person per week for
self-catered, to around £200 per person per week for catered. For Nottingham Trent University, the prices range from
£135pppw for en-suite rooms to £174pppw for studio rooms.
Prices for student housing can vary depending on the type of accommodation you wish to reside in. To rent in shared
accommodation, the prices range from around £110 per person per week to around £180 per person per week. The cost of
renting a one-bedroom place is higher at between £180-£200 per person per week. Therefore, sharing with others is
usually a great way to reduce the cost of living.
Also, if you wish to live nearer the city centre or in The Park Estate, the accommodation tends to be more
luxurious, and in turn, more expensive.
Living further out of the centre, such as accommodation in Lenton, will often provide more budget housing options.

When choosing your accommodation, there are several factors to consider so that you find the perfect student living
experience.
The first is the rent price. As mentioned above, you will have to decide how much you are willing to spend on a
place depending on what you want. If you want to live on your own and can afford a higher rent, then a one or
two-bedroom apartment in the city could be right for you. If you want company, find a multiple-bedroom house or flat
to share with people.
When it comes to houses vs. flats, flats are often less accessible for some people, so houses prove a better option.
However, if you appreciate a view, then a flat might be ideal. Houses usually offer more overall space than flats,
so keep this in mind also, especially if you are sharing.
You will also want to consider your local amenities. It may be beneficial to have your accommodation located near a
supermarket, as this will making regular shopping much less of a hassle. Even being near a corner shop can help with
some last-minute shopping. If you enjoy retail shopping, restaurants, or leisure activities, a place near the city
centre where all this is available might be more suited to you.
As a student, it might be necessary for you to live near your university. Being within walking distance of campus
will not only save money on transport but will reduce your daily commute, saving time and potentially increasing
your punctuality.
Transport is also an important factor. Nearer the city centre, transport is much more regular, so getting to and
from places is usually easier. Outside of the centre, transport is often slower and scarcer, so this is something to
consider if you need to commute.
The final and potentially most important factor is whether your bills are inclusive or non-inclusive, as this will
contribute towards the overall cost of your accommodation. With inclusive bills, everything is paid in one sum
without the need for various providers – but bills-inclusive options are often more expensive. However, if your
accommodation’s bills are non-inclusive, it can lead to potential confusion and conflict. This is where Split the
Bills can help you to put arguments about bills to rest.
Split the Bills offers packages to make sure that bill splitting is as easy and stress-free as ever. You will have

don’t have to.
