Sheffield Hallam University

As I started in September, after taking a gap year to pursue some personal studies in Arabic, I initially had the feeling I would be out of place and quite nervous upon starting at Hallam, however it was the complete opposite. The people at SHU are extremely supporting and kind, helping me with my studies providing great support and advice as I proceed. The facilities for my course are amazing as I am mainly in the Redmires building, they have everything you will ever need and it is all up to date and modern. The area where the university is based is quite difficult in terms of parking as it is city centre however that it understandable. Overall, great people and a great University

The entire staff is responsive and always ready to help, they tailor their learning methods to what we as students find the most effective and rewarding. There are study spaces though not many which could be improved as many people prefer to work in a university building thats not necessarily their lecture hall but still is a motivating space. The student union also does not have a lot of character compared to other universities, there are limited study spaces and a handful of cafes but not much more which doesnt bring people together or become a space to relax or eat or find school supplies such as pens or notebooks thats students may need last minute.

Enjoyable but stressful. The sports wee great and meet loads of great people. Work hard and have fun too. Take up canoeing it's the best sport and we need more funding.

Amazing, completely. Rarely a dull moment, learnt a lot and ready for the future. Always something new to try and explore around the campus. Studio spaces are ideal working environments.
