💸 Spare Rooms in Lincoln: A Budget-Friendly Way to Make New Friends at Uni

Looking for cheap student accommodation in Lincoln without compromising on comfort or social life? You’re not alone — and the answer might be simpler than you think.

If you’re a student at the University of Lincoln or Bishop Grosseteste University, and you’re not in a big group, don’t stress. Choosing a spare room in a student house could actually be the best decision you make all year — for your wallet and your social life.

🏠 What is a Spare Room?

A spare room is just what it sounds like: a room available in a student house, often because someone dropped out or the original group didn’t fill every room. You still get your own private bedroom — but you’ll share the kitchen, lounge and bathroom with the other housemates.

✅ Top Perks of Renting a Spare Room in Lincoln:

• Lower upfront costs – no big deposits with mates, just your share.

• All bills included – with Student Housing, that means electricity, gas, water, heating, TV licence and Wi-Fi.

• Meet new people – ideal if you’re new to Lincoln or transferring mid-year.

• Flexible move-in dates – many spare rooms are ready now.

• Avoid the stress of group organising – no need to chase your mates to get paperwork done.

💬 Real Talk: Why Students Choose Spare Rooms

Not everyone arrives at uni with a ready-made friendship group. And even if you do, sometimes living with too many mates under one roof can feel… a bit much. Spare rooms offer a built-in balance: social living without the group drama.

“I was nervous about moving into a house with strangers, but I actually made some of my closest friends that way.” - Katie, 2nd Year Student, University of Lincoln

Many of our tenants who’ve gone solo into spare rooms say they were surprised how easy it was to settle in, especially since most houses are already filled with friendly students who want a new housemate — not just a tenant.

💷 Save Money, Live Smart

Let’s talk about the big one: budget.

When you choose a spare room with Student Housing, you’re usually paying less than the average group house price, and you’re getting utilities included. That means:

• No splitting bills.

• No chasing housemates for money.

• No worries about setting up gas, electricity or internet.

In a city like Lincoln, that’s a huge bonus, especially with rising living costs. You know exactly what you’re paying each month — and nothing more.
