Staffordshire University’s Leek Road halls cost £110 a week (£4,290 on a 39-week contract) for a standard room in a shared flat, and its en suite Student Village rooms run from £175 to £233 a week with bills included. The university guarantees accommodation to eligible new students who applied for a full licence before 31 August 2026. This guide covers rents, the guarantee, payment and what to check.
Prices come from Staffordshire University’s accommodation pages, which don’t name an academic year for the rents. The guarantee terms are for 2026-27. Check the current rent before you apply. I could not verify private building prices, so none are listed.
Staffordshire University halls and weekly rents
According to the university’s accommodation page and Leek Road halls page:
| Residence | Room type | Weekly price |

| Leek Road halls | Standard bedroom, shared bathroom, flats of 12 to 14 (39 weeks) | £110 |

The Student Village prices include bills, and the page lists Wi-Fi, 24/7 security, emergency maintenance, campus gym membership, contents insurance and cycle storage with the licence. Leek Road halls include bills, £10,000 of contents insurance and gym membership too, with teaching spaces about five minutes’ walk away and the railway station five to eight minutes. A TV licence and car parking are extra. The Student Village pages don’t state a contract length. Our guide to university halls versus private student housing explains how halls compare with private options.
Accommodation guarantee
The university’s guaranteed accommodation page (2026-27 terms) says:
- All new UK undergraduate and postgraduate entrants at the Stoke-on-Trent locations, and first-year international students at the Stoke-on-Trent campus, are guaranteed a room.
- You need a conditional or unconditional firm offer for a full-time degree, must apply for a full licence before 31 August 2026 and apply for a single occupancy room.
- It applies to the Stoke-on-Trent campus and Stafford Centre of Excellence, but not London.
- There is no deposit. You make a £50 pre-payment or pay the full licence fee when you accept, and the £50 comes off your first instalment.
- UK students not offered a campus room are helped to find alternative accommodation with trusted local providers.
Private and shared options
Many students move into shared houses from second year. I could not verify prices for individual lets, so compare total rent, bills and contract length, and ask whether the deposit is protected.
What to check before you book
- The current price and year, since the rent pages don’t state one.
- Shared or en suite and studio, because the weekly gap is over £100.
- The 31 August application deadline and the £50 pre-payment.
- Safety basics. See our student accommodation safety guide and checklist.
