Whether you’re looking to stay close to campus and keep your attendance up or save on taxis from the club by living more central, there are plenty of great student houses in Southampton to suit every budget.
The city’s two universities (University of Southampton and Solent University) get stomped on by thousands of Southampton student accommodation each year, which means the best student accommodation in Southampton gets snapped up pretty quickly. With options ranging from luxury halls to modern privately rented flats, you’re sure to find the perfect home for your time in this seaside university town.
For those who like to be surrounded by the buzz of a university city, the uber-cool student apartments in Southampton’s Polygon district are hard to beat. Here you’ll be just a few minutes away from the lively high street where you’ll find pubs, bars, clubs and cool independent cafes, as well as all your essential shops.
