Southampton is home to two large universities with tens of thousands of students, many of whom live in rented student rooms within shared student houses, these properties are ideally suited to students as they are often located close to amenities and usually within walking distance of the university.

Some students in search of accommodation will of course be looking for a whole house to rent with a group of friends they have made during their first year, perhaps whilst in halls of residence at one of either Southampton University or Southampton Solent University. Others will be looking for student rooms within shared houses requiring one extra student to make up the numbers, perhaps having missed out on a place in halls of residence and needing to find somewhere to live, either way, the shared student house option is a highly cost effective way of living and studying close to Southampton city centre.

There are of course pros and cons to all student rooms, Southampton is no exception. People who live with a group of friends may find themselves struggling to concentrate on the academic side of student lives due to the noise and atmosphere within the house, so it is important students carefully choose who they will be sharing their new home with. Of course many people do enjoy the party atmosphere of a vibrant student house, for others who want a more quiet university experience conducive to study, student rooms within quieter areas of the city and with people they already know is the way to go.
