The Hub on Chappell Drive, and the roads out to other universities
University Campus Doncaster shares The Hub with Doncaster College on the town's waterfront, at DN1 2RF. A student starting a course there and moving into a shared house or a flat nearby, in Hyde Park, Hexthorpe or the centre, is a short local move. The council's open-air car parks on Chappell Drive sit right by the campus, but a room is better loaded from the street outside the house, with the boxes ready at the door when the van turns up.
Leaving Doncaster to study is the bigger job. Sheffield is about 23 miles by White Rose Way, the M18 and the M1, close enough that some stay at home in first year and move into a shared house later. Hull is about 46 miles by the M18 and the M62, Leeds and York are reached up the A1(M), and Lincoln is about 42 miles away. A halls move works to the arrival slot the university sends, so the pick-up from home is timed back from it.
Booking a Doncaster student move
- Send the halls arrival slot, or the date and time the shared-house keys are released
- Pack into holdalls and medium boxes rather than one huge case, which suits narrow stairs in a student house
- For a room near The Hub, give the house address and street, not just the campus name
- Book early for mid-September and June, when term dates bunch student moves into the same few weeks
- If there is nowhere at home for the room over summer, book your own self-storage unit and the van can take it there

Student Removals in Doncaster: your questions
Is there a university in Doncaster?
Yes. University Campus Doncaster, part of DN Colleges Group, teaches degrees and higher technical qualifications at The Hub on Chappell Drive, which it shares with Doncaster College.
Can you move me from Doncaster to halls in Sheffield?
Yes. Send the hall's name and your arrival slot, and the pick-up from home is timed so the van reaches Sheffield in your window.
Can my things go to a self-storage unit over summer?
Yes, to a unit you book yourself. The business has no storage of its own, but the van can drop the room there in June and collect it for the next tenancy.
How far ahead should I book?
As soon as your September or June date is fixed, because those weeks fill quickly. Outside term changeovers, a short notice booking often works.
