With moving-in day for students on the Horizon, it’s likely you’ve already got your student accommodation in Hull sorted out. Whether you’re moving into a Castle Homes property or not this year, as a student property provider in Hull, we’re incredibly proud of our city and can’t wait for you to experience it for yourself. Here’s why Hull is the perfect student city (not biased).
Affordability
Hull is known for being an affordable city whether you’re a student or not. In fact, for years, it’s topped the charts for student affordability and has continued that tradition this year. In Hull, you can expect to pay a whole lot less for a whole lot more!
For the majority of students, a pint of beer is very much welcomed on a hot Summer day in the beer garden, if this sounds like you then you’re in luck. Last year, Hull was crowned number 1 for the university with the cheapest pint in the UK, costing you just a little over £3 on average and 80% cheaper than London. Not just this, Hull is incredibly cheap for a number of other things on average, for example:
- A budget restaurant meal will cost just over £10
- A three-course meal for two at a mid-range restaurant will cost around £60
- A monthly fitness club membership will cost around £25
- A cinema ticket will cost roughly £5
It’s no wonder students from all over the world love Hull just as much as we do!
Festivals and Fairs
Throughout the year, Hull is host to a number of festivals and fairs and has something for everyone. Whether it’s the world-famous Hull Fair, Europe’s largest travelling fun fair, Hull Pride, Freedom Festival or Humber Street Sesh – Hull has everything.
This year, Hull Pride takes place on the 27th of July, Freedom Festival takes place from the 28th of August to the 1st of September, Live from the Yard is a three-day festival from the 8th of August to the 11th and finally Tribfest 2024 is happening from the 15th of August to the 18th of August.
Culture and History
Hull is a vibrant city rich in history and culture with so much to learn and do. As a city, we’re lucky to have quite a few museums, galleries and exhibitions to explore. Whether you’re learning about Hull’s maritime past and what originally put Hull on the map, discovering how Hull and William Wilberforce were involved in the abolition of slavery throughout the British Empire or you’re exploring sea creatures in The Deep. There truly is something to learn for everyone in Hull.
