*Students got a small reward for their timeI resent paying this amount for minimal contact hours, disorganised administration and this attitude of ‘if we ignore it, it may get better’. The lecturers are nice but the university itself constantly acts as if nothing is wrong, yet we desperately need funding. Lecturers are leaving all over the place and modules are being dropped constantly. Haven’t had a single year where I have been able to choose what Inwould like to study.
It's a uni with good reputation but academically I am on my own for most of the time
I do not get very much contact time on my course, but otherwise I am satisfied.
Glad I came to Sheffield
Awesome university with a great mix of societies, sports, activities and nights out to suit all tastes, close to the beautiful peak district and with a fantastic Animal and Plant Sciences department. Plus cheap drinks aplenty!
Sheffield as a city is a great place to be - it's not too big or too small and the transport links are excellent! Sheffield's student union is great too, there's always events on and we have seen people such as Nick Grimshaw, Julio Bashmore and Professor Green play there in the last year. As for the walk to and from uni, it is a bit of a trek but you can also get the bus which runs every ten minutes.
really good societies and facilities, but find the politics a little intimidating and stuff. courses also interesting and sheffield itself is lovely. very very lovely
great support from lecturers and an amazing students union. I think the student support we receive is amazing from the cafe in the library being open 24 hours to the IT service which is always happy to help. The uni also has many support systems in place for students of all types from the nightline to things such as counselling in general. Opportunities are immense at the uni in terms of careers and also volunteering opportunities. The uni is eager to build the individuals skills at their time in the uni and they make the uni experience amazing.
Great atmosphere, helpful staff, lovely area, easy access to city, cheap buses, train station only half an hour by bus, everyone is friendly, interesting course
It is a great university. It's got the best students union in the UK. Quite a lot of facilities to help with studies and sports. The information commons being open 24/7 throughout the year is also magnificent. The fact that there are showers in the information commons also allows one to study for a long period. Very many university buildings all around Sheffield tells me that the university is financially stable and can provide students with many facilities. In my opinion, Sheffield is what it is now due to the advantages created by the university. Only problem is that some of the exam venues are not part of the university so we are unfamiliar with the place and difficult to get at. Otherwise, the uni of Sheffield seems like the best uni in the UK for me.
Sheffield is a great learning environment as everyone is very friendly. The lecturers do everything they can to help you which helps you to adjust to living away from home.
The university of sheffield is a great place to study. The students union is excellent. The support services, job prospects, facilites our great and have alot to offer.
very good university, great facilities, great location and very friendly students. The student union is great, the night life is great and always feel at home in Sheffield.
It's been pretty bad. Poor accomodation no support for being from foster care. However, facilities are good union is good, great city and nightlife good uni if from a stable home and have no issues but when have problems no support.
The university has a lot to offer, it has great accommodation, students union, support services and facilites. Though work is hard, but overall my experiences has been fun.
So far so good, there are a lot of great societies and clubs to join. The lecturas are really nice and helpful. Great students union , support services and facilites.
The facilites are really good and there is loads to get involved with. Job prospects there are more graduates than job avaible, therefore the competion is intense.
Students union to be useful that solves all your problems. Great support services e.g. womens only minibus for nights out . Large variety of sports clubs and societies.
It's happy satisfying with much going on everyday. The seminars are useful not much contact hours allow more time for readings. The accomodation is new and useful with good customer service and maintance.
