About Southampton
Why students choose Southampton
Southampton has two universities facing opposite directions and one bus network holding the whole arrangement together. The University of Southampton teaches at Highfield, a mile and a half north of the centre, and runs its own Uni-link services between campus, Portswood and the city. Solent University is in the centre itself. Whether a room works here depends almost entirely on whether a Uni-link route passes it.
Portswood is the student high street and the first place to look if you are at Highfield: shops, takeaways, a Waitrose and a short walk or one stop to campus. Highfield itself is quieter and more expensive, with larger houses close to teaching. Bevois Valley and Bevois Mount sit between Portswood and the centre, cheaper and well served by buses, and are where a lot of second years end up. The city centre suits Solent students and anyone who wants the shops and Ocean Village on the doorstep. Shirley is west and further out, with more space for the money, and Swaythling sits north of Highfield next to its own railway station.
New to booking student accommodation?
Room types, what bills included really covers, when to book, and what to check if you are arriving from abroad.
Which Southampton room type works for your campus?
Managed student buildings are concentrated in the centre, the Polygon and along routes towards Highfield. An en-suite shares a kitchen, while a studio keeps the kitchen private. Central rooms naturally suit Solent; University of Southampton students should check the Uni-link route as carefully as the room.
Shared houses are common in Portswood, Highfield, Swaythling and Bevois Valley. They can provide more communal space, but add utilities and daily travel before comparing them with an all-inclusive room.
What should you check before booking in Southampton?
MoJO currently lists 24 Southampton student stays, with published prices from £139/week. Compare full-tenancy rent, included bills, deposit, payment dates and the route to your exact campus. A low weekly price can lose its advantage if the contract is longer or regular bus travel is needed.
Confirm the room category, move-in date, cancellation terms and guarantor rules in writing. For a shared house, check the inventory, repair process, joint-liability terms and any local licensing requirements.
Top Southampton universities and campus links
Southampton's student population is anchored by University of Southampton and Solent University. When choosing student accommodation in Southampton, most students prioritise the walking-distance or single-transfer commute to their own department, since it saves 60 to 90 minutes a day on lectures, labs, and evening study.
On each Southampton property page you will see the exact minute count to nearby universities and whether the campus is served by direct public transport. If you already know your university, filter by it before comparing rooms, it saves a lot of back and forth.
Best areas for students in Southampton
The best areas for student accommodation in Southampton include Portswood and Highfield, Bevois Valley and Bevois Mount, City centre and Ocean Village, Swaythling and St Denys, and Shirley and Freemantle. Each has a distinct mix of student housing, cafes, supermarkets, and public transport connections, so the "best" area really depends on which university you attend and what kind of neighbourhood you want to live in.
If you are new to Southampton, aim for neighbourhoods with a high student population and good late-night public transport. Areas near your university's main campus are safest for evening walks home and mean you can lie in for 9 AM lectures.
Cost of living for students in Southampton
The cost of student accommodation in Southampton typically starts from £139/week, and rent is usually the single biggest line item in a student's budget. Beyond rent, students in Southampton typically budget for groceries, public transport, mobile data, and social spending.
If Southampton rents feel steep, it can be worth comparing with cities like London and Nottingham: the same weekly budget often stretches further, and some the United Kingdom universities have satellite campuses across multiple cities.

Getting around
Uni-link runs the U1, U2, U6 and U9 and the routes are worth checking against any address before you commit, because they are what makes the difference between a five minute journey and a thirty minute walk. Southampton Central is the main station, around an hour and a quarter from London Waterloo, and Swaythling and St Denys serve the northern suburbs. The city is flat and compact enough that cycling works across most of it, and the free CityRed services cover parts of the centre.

Student accommodation near Solent UniversityFrequently asked questions
- Prices in Southampton typically start from £139/week, depending on room type, location, and how early you book. Purpose-built student rooms with bills included are usually the best value overall, since utilities and WiFi are already priced in.
- For a September move-in, most students book their Southampton accommodation between May and August. Booking earlier gives you the widest choice on room type, floor, and price. For January or summer intakes, book two to three months ahead.
- Your contract is signed directly with the accommodation provider, not with HouseForStudents, and we list only recognised student accommodation operators. Listing details for our 24 Southampton properties come from the operator's own site and we re-check them regularly, but always confirm the price and the terms in writing with the provider before you pay. Ask the operator specifically whether your contract is a tenancy or a licence, because statutory deposit protection applies to tenancies and most purpose-built student accommodation is let on a licence.
- Purpose-built student accommodation in Southampton commonly includes electricity, water, heating, WiFi, and contents insurance in the weekly rate, but the package is set by each operator and is not the same everywhere. Ask the operator exactly what the rent covers, and what is charged on top, before you pay anything.
- Most Southampton PBSA properties accept either a UK-based guarantor, an international guarantor, or pay a one-time fee in lieu. If you cannot provide a guarantor, ask our team when you enquire and we will filter for properties that do not require one.
Prices and availability on this page were last checked on . Rooms and rents change often, so confirm both with the operator before you pay anything.
