Doncaster is a perfect choice for students of Sheffield’s universities who wish to experience life in a more traditional tenancy after tasting the hall life. Moving in with a larger group of friends of 4 or more remains the students’ favourite, as it allows for greater flexibility in location—closer or further from the city centre—as well as driving down individual costs, all while giving fantastic options between modern and period building, furnishing type or even the presence of a garden. Smaller flats are a good option for those who hope to move in with their partner or a smaller number of flatmates. There usually is a good supply of both flats and houses in Doncaster, most of which are managed by landlords and agents who specialise in student renting.
