Student Accommodation in Leicester City Centre

If you’re the kind of student who loves being in the middle of the action, Leicester’s city centre is exactly where you’ll want to call home. Living right in the city centre means you’re surrounded by everything that makes student life exciting and outweighs the boring assignments: buzzing nightlife, endless food options, and events galore.

For students at both De Montfort University and the University of Leicester, student accommodation in Leicester’s city centre offers incredible convenience, which is absolutely crucial as a student. DMU’s campus is just right around the corner from the city centre, whilst UoL students can hop on a quick bus or enjoy a leisurely stroll up to their main campus (over by Clarendon Park). Either way, you’re all sorted and in a prime spot if you choose a student flat or house in Leicester’s city centre, because there are easy transport links all around.

Choosing student accommodation in Leicester’s city centre means convenience, community, and a vibrant atmosphere are right on your doorstep. With top-rated food spots and a dangerously good shopping centre close by, you’re also within close reach of the train and coach station: perfect for getting home easily or taking a trip with friends to explore a different town.

A huge perk of living in the city centre shines at night when heading out into Leicester's nightlife. Favourable student clubs like Mosh and The Basement are located in the centre so you can save on Uber fares, let your friends crash over, and still make it to your morning classes together.

If you’re after living somewhere where you can never possibly be bored, the city centre is just for you. With a mix of students from both universities living in student accommodation in Leicester’s city centre, there’s always something happening and endless new faces to meet.
