Student city
Facilities and study locations are great and easy to access. There is loads of support and resources for you to use. However they do tend to get very busy and can be difficult to find a space. Also I tend to find problems with plugs not working which can be very annoying
The scenery, how green it is, the various study places, the community, the support from the university that we are getting, the professors. could be improved if some cafes stayed open for longer

First gen student
Disability support is above and beyond what I ever expected, access could be better though for wheelchairs
Med school needs prayer rooms, but overall nice place to be
The best aspect of the universe is student support, and there is strong sense of diversity and inclusion. The ranking could be improved in the coming year.
I love the arts tower. Views over the city as you work in studio. Could be better if the floor 19 computer suite was on a floor with windows.
Great students union! Lots of choices for clubs and societies for everyone to join and meet new friends! Great location as it’s near the peaks!
Cuts to flex staff hours :(
amazing so far
It is the best years I have ever lived, it is a safe environment where I am able to grow and succeed
Everyone has been so friendly and the university has put in a lot of effort to make the transition to university life as smooth as possible. The buildings of the campus are all nice with a lot of character and good facilities. The staff really value student feedback. The union host lots of events to make student life interesting.
Sheffield is a great city, with immediate access to the peak district - endcliffe and ranmoor accomodation are also very nice
Great location small city student presence - could be improved if the Law School didnt give so many in person exams
Sheffield is a great place to be a student and the facilities at the university really help feel settled and make it a good place to study
Best - students union, lectures & societies Worst - n/a
I love the au and all the sports clubs, don’t think it needs any improving
Lovely students union with study spaces and fab coffee shop! Lectures and staff on my course are so lovely and supportive. The blackboard system that the university uses is super easy to navigate and locate all your lecture slides and recordings (really helpful that all lectures are recorded!) An improvement I would say - to have plug sockets in all lecture theatres.


Sheffield is really friendly and the student areas have a strong community feel. It is also very affordable. The university could be improved if there was more study space as it gets busy in exam periods.
The course does not have many contact hours and some of the lectures and lecturers could be more engaging.
The halls were of a really high standard and affordable compared to the equivalent at other universities
