Student Housing
#1 Student Lettings Agency
Starting university can feel both exciting and nerve-wracking, especially when you’re moving to a brand-new city. At Student Housing, we’ve helped thousands of students find their feet—and the perfect accommodation—in Lincoln, so we’ve put together this ultimate guide packed with insider tips from current students and alumni.
The University of Lincoln, set alongside the picturesque Brayford Pool, is renowned for its modern facilities, Gold-standard teaching (awarded by the Teaching Excellence Framework), and vibrant student community. From courses in Business and Engineering to Media and Health Sciences, there’s something for everyone.
“The teaching and support here is lovely. Lecturers genuinely care, and there’s always someone to answer your questions.” – Emma, 2nd-year Psychology student
Lincoln offers over 150 courses across various faculties:
Engineering & Computer Science – Featuring top-notch facilities, thanks to Lincoln’s partnership with Siemens.
Arts & Media – Home to the Lincoln Performing Arts Centre (LPAC) and specialist studios for film and media.
Health Sciences – State-of-the-art labs, including the Ross Lucas Medical Sciences Building.
“The facilities are genuinely amazing—I’ve loved having access to professional-quality studios.” – Jake, Media Production graduate
Brayford Pool campus is central, scenic, and compact. Everything you need—lecture halls, libraries, cafes, and your new favourite study spots—are within a short walk.
“Huge range of study spaces, always accessible. And coffee shops right on campus—perfect!” – Priya, Business Management student
Embrace the support available: From personal tutors to wellbeing services, Lincoln excels in supporting student mental health and academic growth.
Get involved: The Students’ Union offers over 100 societies and sports clubs. It’s the best way to meet people!
Explore early: The city is compact, but full of hidden gems—from the Cathedral Quarter’s charm to the bustling nightlife around Brayford Wharf.
“I wish I’d joined clubs earlier—it’s the quickest way to find your people and settle in.” – Ahmed, History student
In your first year, university-managed halls like Lincoln Courts and Cygnet Wharf are great for meeting new people. After first year, students often move into private student houses—ideally close to campus and city amenities.
At Student Housing, we specialise in student-friendly homes close to campus hotspots like West End and High Street areas—perfect for 2nd and 3rd-year students.
“Moving out of halls can feel daunting, but Student Housing made the whole process easy. Living near my lectures and mates made a huge difference!” – Sophie, Law graduate
Is Lincoln expensive for students? Generally, no. Lincoln offers great value compared to larger UK cities.
Best areas for students? West End, High Street, and around Brayford are popular.
Is Lincoln safe? Yes, students consistently highlight Lincoln as a safe and friendly city.
Whether you’re already packing your bags or still making your decision, Lincoln has something special to offer—outstanding teaching, supportive community, and a city ready to welcome you.
