Why Choose Leicester for University Life?

Leicester is a diverse, student‑friendly city with great value for money, walkable neighbourhoods and excellent transport links. You’ll find independent cafés, markets, riverside walks and a lively culture scene — plus two major universities within easy reach of the centre.

University of Leicester

A research‑led university with strong academics and an active student community. The main campus sits south of the city centre near Victoria Park, with libraries, labs and sports facilities all close together.

De Montfort University (DMU)

Right by the city centre and the riverside, DMU offers modern facilities, creative courses and strong industry links. The campus is surrounded by shops, gyms and places to eat — ideal for quick commutes and after‑class meetups.

Definitely recommend staying here for any students. The studios are clean, tidy and very spacious with a well fitted bathroom and kitchen, large wardrobe, large flat TV and free WIFI. Any issues regarding maintenance or anything are solved very quickly, and the staff will do their best to ensure students have the best stay here - they’re amazing!

Staying here currently, and it’s been really good! The rooms are super spacious with TVs and a dining table , and the reception staff are lovely

“

I’ve had an excellent experience living at this student accommodation. The accommodation itself is well-maintained, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. I have been staying here for two years now and the standout feature for me has been the receptionist Amy. She is incredibly friendly, approachable, and always ready to help with any questions or concerns. It’s nice to know there's always someone there who truly cares and is willing to help out all the time. This was something missing from my previous accommodation. I highly recommend this accommodation. It’s a great place to call home during your university years!
