A guide to accommodation near Leeds Trinity University

Leeds Trinity excels in providing a personalised education experience and has become an increasingly popular choice for students, both local and international. Despite its relatively small size compared to other Leeds universities, like the University of Leeds and Leeds Beckett, it consistently ranks high in student satisfaction surveys.

Notable Leeds Trinity alums:

·       Kimberley Walsh – singer in Girls Aloud and West End actress

·       Fiona May - former track and field athlete, Olympic medalist in Atlanta and Sydney

A key attraction is its practical approach to learning, with an emphasis on placements and real-world experience. Students across disciplines benefit from strong links with industry partners, ensuring they graduate career-ready. The campus itself offers a vibrant environment with modern teaching facilities, a library, and excellent sports amenities, all within a short distance of Leeds’ thriving city centre.

Finding the right accommodation is an essential part of your student journey. Fortunately, there is a wide range of options available in Leeds within travel distance to Leeds Trinity University.

From on-campus halls of residence to private student accommodation in the surrounding area, browse the different types of accommodation below:

1.      Leeds Trinity University halls

Leeds Trinity University provides on-campus accommodation for first-year students, offering a convenient and sociable living environment.

·       All Saints Court: One of the most modern halls, featuring ensuite rooms and shared kitchens. Located at the heart of campus, it provides easy access to lecture halls, the library, and social spaces.

·       Kirkstall Hall: A budget-friendly option with standard rooms and shared bathroom facilities, perfect for those who prefer a more traditional university experience.

·       Fountains Court: Offers larger ensuite rooms and a quieter living environment, ideal for students who need more privacy or wish to focus on their studies.

Living in university halls is a great way to meet new friends and immerse yourself in campus life. All halls include essential amenities such as Wi-Fi, utilities, and communal areas for socialising.

2.      Shared student housing

For those who prefer a more independent living arrangement, shared housing is a popular option. The surrounding area of Horsforth and nearby Headingley offers a wealth of student houses managed by private landlords. These homes typically accommodate between 3 to 6 students and come with shared kitchens, bathrooms, and living spaces.

Living in shared housing often offers more flexibility, with the ability to choose your housemates and enjoy a greater sense of independence. However, it does require managing bills separately, and it’s essential to ensure your landlord is reputable and follows proper housing regulations.

1.      Private student accommodation

Private student accommodations provide an excellent blend of modern living, convenience, and community. Among the top choices are purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) providers such as Mansion Student, which cater specifically to student needs. These properties typically offer:

·       All-inclusive bills - covering utilities, Wi-Fi, and insurance.

·       Modern facilities - such as study rooms, and communal lounges.

·       On-site hospitality teams -  available 24/7 to assist with any issues.

·       Flexible tenancy lengths - to suit your academic year needs.

Such options often appeal to students looking for high-quality amenities, security, and a ready-made social environment.
