Accommodation

Accommodation

MetFilm School Leeds does not offer its own student accommodation, as it is situated within Prime Studios, a working film studio.

The city offers a wide variety of other accommodation options for students of all types. Depending on your budget and preferred level of independence, it is possible to find the ideal residence to suit your study, as well as enjoy the rich variety of exciting things the city has to offer.

To get you started, we have provided some options and advice to make your stay as easy as possible.

Travel Cards

You can travel throughout West Yorkshire with a 19-25/Student Photocard, which can be pre-loaded for discounted travel on the bus and train. You can purchase this card online, or at a Travel Centre.

If you are planning on travelling around the UK, you might consider purchasing a railcard, which takes 1/3 off the price of all train tickets you purchase, and can be stored digitally on your phone. Find out more.

Rent Privately

For students exploring a cheaper, and potentially more exciting option, it is equally worth considering renting privately. It can be a great opportunity to have a real inner city living experience, explore alternative areas, and meet different people. Room rentals can also be cheaper, and some landlords are open to short lets.

We recommend looking through websites such as Roomies, Spare Room, Ideal Flatmate, and Right Move.
