Testimonials

Here at iQ, we pride ourselves on offering safe and accessible accommodation to students from around the world. Hear from some of our past students below.

“I came to Sheffield, knowing no one. It didn’t take me long to settle into uni life at Fenton House. I made friends immediately by hanging out in the common room, making use of the fantastic facilities. My favourite part about living here is the constant supply of tea and coffee they have to offer in reception. In addition to this, they regularly put on competitions to win free snacks and drinks. This is run by the staff who are very welcoming and attentive. If you’re looking for student accommodation in the future, Fenton House is the place to be.” - Jack Y., iQ Student Accommodation resident.

“One of the nicest halls for both Uni of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam students. Staff are lovely and relaxed, well priced, great social, the best located in terms of going out and uni, great facilities and decent size rooms with double beds. I have had an amazing time here and would strongly suggest to anyone to live here.” - Adam B., iQ Student Accommodation resident.
