The Aspen Leicester Student Accommodation

When you’re looking for student accommodation, the choice is often a practical one. How far is it from university? What kind of room do you want? How much will it cost per week? What is already included? The Aspen student housing Leicester mixes these characteristics with shared en-suite rooms and private studios on Glebe Street near the University of Leicester and within easy distance of De Montfort University.

Students at the home can either share with flatmates or have their own self-contained area.

The Aspen Leicester also has study rooms, shared lounges and on-site security. Its location near supermarkets, transport links, restaurants and Leicester's university area makes it a practical option for students who want most of their regular journeys to stay relatively short.
