Infirmary Road, St Helena and the move to a university city
Chesterfield College has its main campus on Infirmary Road, a few minutes on foot from the centre, and serves over 21,000 students, 5,600 of them full-time. The University of Derby teaches nursing, business and sport therapy at St Helena on Sheffield Road. No halls were found for either, so students who are not living at home rent rooms in the town, and their moves are small loads between shared houses.
The bigger student job is the September run out of Chesterfield. Sheffield is about 13 miles up the A61, Nottingham 27 miles and Derby 29 miles by the A617 and the M1, so a bedroom of boxes, a desk chair and a television can be moved into a hall in Sheffield or Nottingham on the same day. In June the same trip comes back, and a summer between two addresses can be planned as two separate runs.
Halls, rooms and move-in slots: a Chesterfield student checklist
- Check the arrival slot your hall gives you in Sheffield, Nottingham or Derby, and book the van for that day
- Pack in boxes or strong bags you can carry, and label the ones for the kitchen, as halls kitchens are shared
- Have everything packed and by the door before the van comes, so loading is quick
- For a room near Infirmary Road, say whether the house has stairs and where the van can stop on the street
- Keep the hall address, room number and contact on your phone for the driver at the other end

Student Removals in Chesterfield: your questions
Does Chesterfield have student halls?
None were found for Chesterfield College or the University of Derby's St Helena site, so most students live at home or rent rooms in the town. A move between shared houses is one of the smallest jobs the van does.
Can you take my things from Chesterfield to my halls in Sheffield?
Yes. Sheffield is about 13 miles up the A61, so the drive is short and most of the time is loading and carrying. Book for the arrival slot your hall gives you.
How much can I take to university in one van?
A whole bedroom fits easily: boxes, bedding, a desk, a chair, a television and a bike. The load space is 3.4m long, so a single bed frame goes in too if your hall room needs one.
