Stanley Studios Southampton Student Accommodation

Where you live can shape how your university days actually feel. A short journey to campus, a room that suits your budget, and a few useful facilities on-site can take some of the pressure out of everyday student life.

Stanley Studios Southampton sits on Portswood Road, close to the University of Southampton and the shops, cafés and other places students use throughout the week. The property has private studios as well as two-bedroom apartments, so students can choose between living independently and sharing with someone they already know.

With furnished rooms, bills included and shared spaces for studying and relaxing, Stanley Studios student accommodation offers a practical base for students spending their university years in Southampton.

About Stanley Studios

Moving into student accommodation usually means getting used to a new routine, new surroundings and, for many students, living away from home for the first time. Having a room and facilities that fit easily into that routine can make the adjustment less complicated.

Stanley Studios offers two main ways to live. Students who prefer their own space can choose from the property's studio rooms, while those planning to share can look at the two-bedroom apartments. The rooms are furnished, with private accommodation giving students their own place to study, cook and unwind.

The shared areas add another side to life at the property. Study rooms give residents somewhere to work when they want a change from their bedroom, while the lounge, games room and pool table provide places to spend time with other residents.

The property is also located in Portswood, an established student area with supermarkets, cafés, restaurants and local services close by. That means many of the things students need during the week can be reached without making a long trip across Southampton.
