So, you’re heading to the University of Lincoln (or maybe you’re already here—lucky you). Whether you’re trading in the halls for something a bit more homely or starting fresh in your first year, one thing’s for sure: you need a place to live. But not just any place. You want good vibes, no dodgy landlords, and rent that won’t eat your entire student loan. Welcome to the search for your perfect student digs in Lincoln.
Here’s how to do it the smart way.
“Digs” is just a fancy (well, slightly scruffy) way of saying student accommodation. Usually, it’s a shared house, a flat, or studio where students live together—think fewer awkward corridor chats and more Netflix-and-pizza nights with your mates.
In Lincoln, student digs come in all shapes and sizes:
Terraced houses in the West End
Modern apartments near the Brayford
Big shared houses in the Sincil Bank and High Street areas
Cosy places tucked near campus for that sweet 5-minute lie-in
The best student digs in Lincoln get snapped up fast. Most students start house hunting from November onwards, with peak booking season from January to March. If you’re still looking in June or July—don’t panic! There’s always something available, but you might need to be a bit more flexible.
Top tip: Don’t wait for your whole group to be free. Start viewings early and get something locked in before exam season kicks off.
There are loads of places to look, but here are the main ones:
We’re not just saying this because it’s literally our job—but using a student specialist like Student Housing means:
Bills are included (gas, electricity, water, Wi-Fi—even TV licences)
We’re all ex-students ourselves, so we know what’s important (no surprise fees or dodgy landlords here)
We’ve got a massive range of student digs in Lincoln to suit every budget and vibe

Ask around—second and third years are a goldmine of recommendations (and warnings). If a mate’s landlord was a nightmare or their house had mushrooms growing in the bathroom, you’ll want to know.
Be cautious, but local Lincoln student groups can have gems. Just always double-check who’s managing the house before you sign anything.
Here’s your cheat sheet:
All-inclusive rent (saves loads of stress and surprise bills)
Proximity to uni and the city centre
Decent Wi-Fi (especially if you’re a Netflix + deadline multitasker)
Nice communal space (you’ll appreciate it more than you think)
Responsive maintenance support (we’ve all had that one leaking tap…)
Expect to pay anywhere from £95 to £135 per person, per week—depending on the location, size, and whether the rent includes bills. With us, bills always are, so no drama there.
Studios and en-suites cost more, but if privacy’s your thing, it might be worth it.
Don’t ghost viewings – houses go fast, and so will your chance!
Sort your group early – flakey housemates = last-minute stress
Check what’s included – some places charge extra for things like Wi-Fi or laundry
Read the contract properly – boring, yes, but essential
Whether you’re after a big house with your best mates, a quiet flat to focus on your degree, or something close to Engine Shed so you never miss a night out, Student Housing has got your back.
