Home to over 430 students, Brass Founders is just a 10-minute walk from the University of Sheffield and the city centre (Sheffield Hallam is only 15 minutes away too).
Choose a self-contained studio to get your own private kitchen, bathroom, TV, and washer/dryer. With an en-suite room, you’ll get your own bathroom and and share everything else with your flatmates.
But it’s the boutique-style, ground floor common room that makes this a special place to live. When you want some quiet time, you’ll find it on the sofas, in the comfy ‘nook’, at the solo and group study tables, or in the plush cinema room.
And if you need to let off steam, there’s a gym, table football, built-in Twister, air hockey, an indoor basketball hoop (soft balls only please), and a huge outdoor courtyard.
