Advantages and disadvantages of sharing a flat in Sheffield

These are the pros and cons of sharing a flat in the English city:

Advantages of sharing a flat in Sheffield 

  • Being a popular student destination, there is a wide availability of shared flats for young people, so you will have no problem finding good accommodation (as long as you look for it in advance).

  • The cost of a room is more affordable than an entire apartment. This will allow you to choose a more convenient neighbourhood to live in as a student, such as St Pauls, Ecclesall or Crookes.

  • Living with roommates will make those grey and cold days of winter more enjoyable.

Disadvantages of sharing a flat in Sheffield 

  • Your room will be the only space that you will have completely to yourself. Try to make it have light from the outside and decorate it as soon as you arrive to make it yours.

  • Coexistence with people who have different habits is not easy, especially if the basic rules of the house are not established.
