Hatfield as a student city

Hatfield, located in Hertfordshire just 20 miles north of London, is a town with roots in aerospace history and home to the historic Hatfield House. Its modern identity is heavily defined by the University of Hertfordshire (UH), whose two main campuses are located there, making it feel distinctly like a university town during term time.

Hatfield is presented as a great destination for students due to several key factors:

  • Affordability: It offers a significantly lower cost of living, especially for housing, compared to nearby London.
  • Student Community: The large student population from UH creates a built-in social network and student-focused environment.
  • University Facilities: Students have access to the extensive modern resources of the University of Hertfordshire.
  • Excellent Transport Links: Frequent and fast train services connect Hatfield directly to London King's Cross/Moorgate (approx. 20-25 minutes), providing easy access to the capital's opportunities. Good road and local bus connections also exist.
  • Local Amenities: The town includes The Galleria outlet shopping centre (with shops, restaurants, and a cinema) and leisure facilities.
