Sheffield accomodation query

[Deanefan]

My eldest is off to Sheffield uni next month and will be staying in Howden deluxe accommodation. Can anyone tell us how much kitchen cupboard space each person gets and whether there is room under the bed for storage boxes? If so what size would fit.

Can’t help on Sheffield but IKEA dimpa bags are great for under bed, top and bottom of wardrobes and packing in the car.

Thanks we have a couple of those and some of the blue carriers too!

DD lived in Endcliffe a couple of years ago. Not Howden but I think most of the accommodation is similar.

The mattress lifts up for under bed storage. There’s plenty of space but it’s a bit of a hassle to get things in and out, so I think DD just kept her suitcases there.

DD seemed to think that the number of cupboards was the same in every flat, so a 10 person flat was sharing the same number of cupboards as a 6 person flat. In DD’s flat (8 people), every student had a cupboard for their food. Some also had a cupboard for kitchenware, but others kept theirs in storage boxes on the kitchen floor.
