Studio apartments for students

Student life is about discovering who you are, and sometimes that means having a space that’s truly your own. Sanctuary Students offers a range of student studio apartments in top university cities across the UK, tailored to meet the needs of students looking for privacy without missing out on a lively community.

Our student studio flats are designed with everything you need for solo living – from a kitchenette to your own bathroom – so you can sleep, study, relax, and cook meals in comfort. You’ll have the freedom to create your own schedule and personal environment, without needing to worry about shared facilities or disruptions.

So, whether you're looking for a quiet place to focus or just want to unwind after a busy day, our studio student accommodation provides the flexibility and independence to enjoy your uni experience exactly how you want.

Shared flats vs. self-contained studio flats for students

When it comes to student accommodation, two popular options are shared student flats and private student studios. Shared flats typically house a small group of students, each with their own bedroom and often an en-suite bathroom, alongside shared facilities like kitchens and living spaces. This setup is great for students who want a social environment, with communal areas for cooking and relaxing together.

On the other hand, a private student studio flat is an entirely self-contained one-bedroom apartment with everything you need in one place. With your own kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom all within your studio apartment, you won’t have to share any facilities. Student studios allow you to experience independent living with the freedom and privacy of your own space, while still having access to shared facilities when you feel like socialising.

Student studio accommodation for postgraduates and mature students

Student studios are particularly popular with postgraduate and mature students who value calm, self-contained living spaces. If you're moving to a new city for a master’s programme or returning to university after a break, you might prefer the peace and independence that a private studio offers. For postgraduates with busy schedules and demanding study routines, having a quiet and private living space can be a major benefit.

Studios for students give you the freedom to set your own rhythm without the added pressure of shared living arrangements, like adapting to new housemates. You get a private, dedicated space for study and rest, plus the option to connect with fellow students in communal areas when you’re ready to take a break… Perfect for anyone wanting the benefits of both independent living and a supportive community nearby.

Student studios FAQs

What is a student studio apartment?

A student studio apartment is a self-contained space designed for one person which includes a private kitchenette, bathroom, bedroom, and living area. This type of accommodation allows students to have their own space without sharing facilities, making studio student apartments ideal for those seeking privacy and independence.

What do your student studio flats include?

At Sanctuary Students, we know how important it is for you to feel safe and comfortable. That’s why each of our student studios comes fully furnished with essentials like a double bed, wardrobe, shelving units, breakfast table, and a dedicated study area with a desk and chair.

In every studio, you’ll find a private en-suite bathroom and a kitchenette with a microwave, oven, fridge, freezer, toaster, and kettle – perfect for preparing meals just how you like them, whenever you want.

On top of that, your rent also includes all your utility bills, broadband, and free contents insurance, so you never have to worry about unexpected costs.

And to make student life as stress-free as possible, all our locations include on-site laundry facilities, 24/7 security with CCTV, and 24-hour maintenance. We know student life can be demanding, which is why we make sure your student studio flat is not only comfortable but also safe and convenient.

Why choose studio student accommodation?

Opting for a student studio is a fantastic choice if you value privacy and personal space. Sanctuary Students studios are perfect for those who enjoy having a self-contained environment to focus on their studies, unwind, or make their favourite meals whenever they like. Living solo means no more queuing for a shared kitchen or adjusting to others’ routines – your studio is yours to manage exactly as you please.

With a student studio apartment, you can roll out of bed, jump in the shower, and whip up breakfast – all without ever leaving the comfort of your own space!

But while you’ve got a space to call your own, it doesn't mean you miss out on socialising. Our properties are designed to bring students together too.

Each location includes communal areas, so when you’re in the mood to socialise, you’ll find plenty of other students around to make friends, join in on fun events, or catch-up in the common room.

It’s the best of both worlds: private when you want it, sociable when you need it!

How is a student studio different from a shared flat?

A student studio flat is entirely private, meaning you have your own kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom in the same apartment. Whereas shared student flats have several private bedrooms with communal areas like kitchens, lounges, and bathrooms shared with other flatmates.

Are student studio apartments more expensive than shared flats?

Generally, studio student accommodation can be a bit pricier than shared flats due to the added privacy and self-contained facilities. However, Sanctuary Students’ all-inclusive bills and flexible payment plans help make studio apartments for students affordable and stress-free.

Do your student studio flats come furnished?

Yes, all of our student studio flats come fully furnished with a bed, study area, wardrobe, storage, and kitchen appliances, so you have everything you need to move in comfortably. You’ll just need to bring your own bedding, towels, and personal items.

Can I socialise while living in a studio student accommodation?

Absolutely! Sanctuary Students properties have communal spaces where you can meet other students, join events, or just relax when you want company. Our studio flats for students offer a private living space with easy access to a supportive student community.

What’s included in the rent for your student studio apartments?

With Sanctuary Students, the rent for your student studio apartment includes all utility bills (think: electricity, heating, water), council tax, high-speed Wi-Fi, and contents insurance, so you have no extra costs to worry about. Each studio is equipped with essential furniture and appliances for a comfortable stay, while you’ll also benefit from on-site laundry facilities, CCTV, secure entry, and 24-hour maintenance at every property.
