What students say about youth-work

Love Sheffield as a city, couldn't recommend it enough. Uni is pretty good, though I'm very concerned about the University's economic situation and the redundancies. The staff are all great, so it is really unfortunate that their jobs are seemingly not secure. Staffing/funding issues are probably the main issue I have regarding my experience at Hallam.

My worst experience has been with my transfer to CCCU from another uni. It took weeks to get my timetable and on blackboard therefore I had no access to class resources. As well as sorting out my finances with the accounts teams. However my best experience had been the Students who have helped me when I have been having technical issues.

I just moved into Manchester, and the facilities are great, but they need more events for making friends as it is hard for fresher and they could add more places to study for example more independent cubicles and they should lower the prices of food so it’s more easier to afford.

it is a very green campus with lovely up to date libraries and accommodation. it is close to town and the train station makes it easy to go southampton for a night out. unfortunately not a great nightlife, SU is good but queue for hours to get in, and no clubs in the town.

The lecturers are lively and interactive. We had the opportunity to share our experiences at the student cafe and I love that they took note of students concerns. Generally the campus life is quite engaging.

The location itself is amazing, you are never too far to walk to the sea and when you do, you are reminded of how lucky you are to be able to study here. The university itself has some good and some bad lecturers, as you will find with any university because people have different styles of teaching and learning so what is bad for some will not be bad for others. The online services here are fantastic and if you are confused you can speak to someone in the careers hub or student hub in the library if it's during term time. The student union host many events which make it easy to connect and experience nightlife, or just to find likeminded people if that's not your scene and you prefer sober activities such as board game afternoons, dancing or sports. There are so many societies to choose from and I have made some lasting friendships with people through the activities that the societies here undertake.

Best experiences are working within the kitchens amongst other culinary driven peers. The student support is good too. Things that could be better are the resources provided for culinary students as it seems to be a reoccurring issue where the isn’t enough produce to make a dish and this can be understandable at times however in order to work to the best possible ability we need the best resources and quantity too.

What students say about youth-work

The university provides a very supportive and engaging learning environment. As a psychology student, I am gaining strong academic knowledge through well structured lectures and clear course content. The tutors are highly professional, approachable, and knowledgeable, which makes learning enjoyable and effective. One area for improvement could be student support services, as quicker responses and more consistent guidance would further enhance the overall international student experience.
