About this property
Choosing student accommodation is about more than finding a room close to campus. The right place can make everyday university life much easier, from cutting down your commute to giving you somewhere comfortable to study, relax and meet new people. The Paper Works Sheffield brings all of that together in a city centre location, placing students within easy reach of universities, public transport and the everyday amenities that make life in Sheffield convenient.
Offering a mix of en-suite rooms and self-contained studios, The Paper Works student accommodation caters to students with different budgets and living preferences. Whether you enjoy the social atmosphere of shared accommodation or would rather have your own private space, the residence provides a range of options alongside practical facilities that support life throughout the academic year. With utility bills included, dedicated study areas, social spaces and on-site support, it offers a straightforward student living experience in one of Sheffield's most popular locations.
Settling into university life is much easier when your accommodation supports both your academic routine and your time away from lectures. The Paper Works has been designed with that balance in mind, giving residents a place where studying, socialising and everyday living fit naturally together.
Students can choose from a variety of en-suite rooms within shared flats or fully self-contained studios, depending on the level of privacy they prefer. Every room provides a comfortable place to return to after classes, while shared facilities throughout the building create opportunities to meet other residents and build a sense of community.
Away from your room, you'll find study spaces for coursework, communal areas for relaxing with friends and practical services that help simplify day-to-day life. Whether you're beginning your first year or continuing your studies in Sheffield, The Paper Works offers accommodation that adapts well to different student lifestyles.

I have lived here for my first year and I am so happy with my room and the size. The facilities provided across the accommodation are outstanding including the games room that has a selection of different things to play with friends. The receptionists Claire and Karyn have been beyond helpful with everything i’ve needed and i’ve enjoyed my stay overall.

Claire and Karin are both amazing and have helped me and my partner every step of the way from moving in to anything we could need help with in our room. The rooms are also super affordable, especially for being in S1 too
