It's amazing, had trouble finding non drinking activities in the dental society that I was free to attend. But there's plenty of societies that don't involve drinking (reading society and more)
I love the university campus as it has a modern and older aspect to it depending on the building. The students union always has events happening constantly and there are over 300 societies to get involved with which really makes it inclusive to everyone.
Better public transport around Sheffield
Industrial placement is best experience for improving skills but returning back is challenging. Very affordable city to live in. Improvement : school of biosciences reform limited final year option choices and it is very exam heavy
Sheffield has been like a home away from home for me! Despite being a medium sized city, the student area feels like such a community which I love. My lecturers are amazing and supportive and the modules I’ve chosen really enhance my understanding of my specific interests within linguistics. I’ve had the opportunity to participate in Zumba society and I’ve started my childhood sport (gymnastics) again. My main challenges were in first year trying to settle in to living in accommodation as an autistic student, but things have got better over the years as I have adapted to student life. I will miss Sheffield a lot when I graduate.
Sheffield is a great place to study because it’s a real community feel, you really feel a part of the city.
The range of buildings/facilities for studying in are top quality at the University of Sheffield. Potentially more tables could be added in the Wave, as there is so much space that hasn’t yet been used.
Such a friendly city with lots of green spaces. A lovely combination of a big city with a friendly feel.
Supportive teams, nice campus, good teaching More study space, libraries are very full
the dyslexia and mental health support service here is incredible i have felt so supported throughout my degree. It could be improved by ensuring this support is continued and when students go abroad
Student life is amazing, joined so many societies Distance from city centre challenging

4.5
It is well situated, with many green spaces surrounding university buildings that students can go to between classes. That said, this also means that university accommodation can be quite far from campus, with an approximately 30-minute walk from the farthest student village.
For the law courses, the lecturers are very passionate about what they teach. Therefore they are committed and always encourage the booking of their feedback hours if students need extra support, which I appreciate.
I lived in an en-suite which meant that I had my own bathroom. The rooms were well-sized and the common kitchen area was certainly big enough. As a fresher, it was undoubtedly good value for money.
