About Frobisher House

University accommodation becomes part of your daily routine very quickly. You need somewhere to work when deadlines are approaching, somewhere to relax after lectures and enough shared space to meet people outside your course.

Frobisher House caters to both sides of student life. Students can choose an en-suite room within shared accommodation or opt for a self-contained studio when greater privacy matters more. Rooms include a study area and storage, while shared flats have communal kitchens where residents can prepare meals and spend time with their flatmates.

There are also several spaces outside the bedrooms. Dedicated study rooms give students somewhere to work when they want a change from their room, while the resident lounge and games room provide places to relax between lectures or at the end of the day. A pool table adds another option for spending time with other residents.

The property also includes practical facilities such as secure bike storage, recycling facilities and CCTV across communal areas. With utility bills included and on-site facilities covering several everyday needs, Frobisher House Plymouth offers a straightforward setup for students settling into life in the city.

Is Frobisher House the Right Choice for You?

The right accommodation depends on how you expect to spend your time outside lectures. Some students want a private studio and a quieter setup, while others would rather share a flat, meet people and have access to communal spaces. Frobisher House Plymouth caters to both preferences, with en-suite rooms and studios available at different price points.

Students Who Prefer Shared Living

The en-suite rooms suit students who like having other people around without giving up their own bedroom and bathroom.

Shared kitchens give flatmates somewhere to cook and spend time together, while the private bedroom remains a separate space for studying or winding down. The resident lounge and games room add further opportunities to meet people within the building.

Students Who Want More Privacy

The Premium and Deluxe Studios offer a more self-contained arrangement.

With your own kitchenette, bathroom, sleeping area and study space, a studio gives you greater control over your routine. This can work particularly well for postgraduate students, students who prefer quieter accommodation or anyone who doesn't want to share the main kitchen.

Students Keeping an Eye on Their Budget

Room prices at Frobisher House start from £115 per week for a Standard En-Suite, with several categories available before reaching the studio options.

Having different room types means students can compare the amount of space and privacy they need against their weekly budget rather than paying for features they may not use.

Students Who Want Bills Included

Electricity, gas, heating, water and Wi-Fi are already covered within the rent.

This removes several separate household payments from your monthly budget and makes it easier to work out your accommodation costs before the academic year begins.

Students Who Want Facilities Close By

The property has study rooms, a resident lounge, games facilities, an on-site gym, bike storage and recycling facilities.

Its location adds another layer of practicality. Sainsbury's Local is on site, bus stops are a short walk away, and Plymouth Railway Station, the city centre and the University of Plymouth can all be reached without a lengthy commute.

For students who want their accommodation to fit around university rather than create extra work, Frobisher House student accommodation offers a fairly straightforward setup.

Conclusion

Frobisher House Plymouth offers students a choice between shared en-suite accommodation and private studios, with prices starting from £115 per week. Inclusive electricity, gas, heating, water and Wi-Fi also make the weekly rent easier to budget for throughout the academic year.

The property benefits from its central Plymouth location, with the University of Plymouth, bus stops, supermarkets, cafés, shopping areas and leisure facilities all within easy reach.
