I have always felt a great sense of belonging and being part of a student community. The nightlife has always been excellent, especially in my first year. The facilities are good and there is so much student support. There is always so much going on every week.

I have always had a lot of contact hours. My modules have been extremely varied, and I have especially enjoyed my final year modules. The staff are always engaging and approachable and extremely knowledgeable. It's a shame that they are making such changes to the Languages department after I graduate, knowing that students won't be offered the same great options that I had.

I love Sheffield. It's a smaller city, which means it's often very walkable, too. It's a multicultural city, full of students and families from all cultures, and many international students, too. It's full of life - so many green spaces, and amazing food and drinks in restaurants, cafes, bars, pubs - and nearly all at great prices. This applies to living costs too; student living is much cheaper in the North than in the South where I'm from. There are so many different parts to explore, each with their own distinct character, and I've loved every area I've lived in. There is so much to do, whether that's organised by the uni/SU, local events, city-wide events, nightlife, weekend activities like walks in the Peaks... The only problem with Sheffield is that you won't want to leave! :)

Halls is the best way to start your first year. Endcliffe is the most popular, but I'm so glad I stayed in Ranmoor. It's a little more small and quiet, but still full of life. I have made my friends for life from the apartment we shared in first year. The management sort issues out really quickly, and the flat is cleaned and maintained weekly. My room was really spacious, but the wetroom bathroom is a bit dingy - but I can't complain about an en-suite too much. I always felt really safe in Ranmoor, and the location is lovely; far from campus, but it's a great area. The facilities are great too, all rooms and flats come equipped with good wifi, big desks and shelves, a decent amount of bedroom storage, and the kitchen is really big with double appliances (two hobs, two sinks, etc.)

The facilities are modern and there are plenty of places to eat on campus. The SU organises lots of events and clubs to get involved in. Sometimes there is a long wait for mental health support which means you're not always able to get it when you need it.

There are definitely lots of career prospects for graduates of my course because language skills are very in demand in lots of areas. My lecturers are good at explaining the content, however I sometimes don't find the content very engaging, especially in my German class where the topics we look at to improve vocabulary and reading can be quite dry.

I had a very spacious room and all the facilities in the flat were good, making it good value for money. I didn't always feel the safest as the grounds were open to the public and the three flats in my section shared a front door which meant they all had access to our flat as there was no door separating these three flats once in the building.
