The Cube, Sheffield - the ideal postgraduate accommodation

The Cube Sheffield

You’ve decided to do a postgraduate degree, have your place and it’s in Sheffield– but where are you going to live?

Sheffield has a great choice of accommodation, from university run halls, private housing to student halls run by the private sector. Each has its merits and, of course, its pitfalls! For example if you rent a private house, you often incur higher or unexpected costs – bills on top of your monthly rent can really rack up your living costs! What about security and the cost of insuring your possession and the most important thing, broadband! But it’s not just the cost, it’s the hassle of having to organise all these things and then what happens if things go wrong – yes you spend more time sorting it out.

University halls might be the answer then? But hey you’re no longer that young graduate so you might feel this choice is a backwards step – may be your looking for a more grown up option (but not too grown up!) experience but without the hassle?

Well look no further! The Cube is the perfect place for you, located just a short walk from Sheffield Hallam University and a quick tram ride to University of Sheffield it’s the ideal location. With a number of two bedroom or one bedroom apartments this co-living  apartment block is a blend of student flats, private rental and privately owned housing.Kitcheh at The Cube

 For our final year and postgraduate students our prices include all bills so nasty surprises, free wifi and the apartments come equipped with TV’s (you do have to sort your own TV licence) and for extra piece   of mind contents insurance is also included – best of all though there’s none of the hassle of having to organise and manage all this yourself.

 The Cube offers secure entry, with a 24/7 contact number for emergencies as we want you to feel and be safe. You have a choice of one or two bedroom apartments with your own bathroom and a fully equipped kitchen including washing machine, so no costly laundry charges or lugging laundry about! . A perfect home from home!

The Cube’s apartments are a perfect option for postgraduate students who want a space of their own to study and relax in but are still close enough to the great social scene Sheffield is renowned for!

 You can find out more about The Cube here – if you’re interested don’t delay as we only have four apartments left for 2019/20 academic year so apply today!
