First gen student
Best - the eco shop in the student union! Worst - I do not think the university accommodation is good value for money.
The people are so nice, there’s always stuff going on and I feel very heard and valued
Great study and social spaces. Great location from student housing and city centre. Amazing organised events. Could be improved by better hot meals served in the Student Union.
The student union and location are amazing
Very inclusive and welcoming university, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
COVID was obviously awful, being away from placement and in person teaching was just rubbish.
Great facilities, especially libraries. Lots of societies to choose from. Supportive staff.
The facilities and support are great, very welcoming, SU feels like it works really close with the uni to ensure the best student experience. Sometimes it's a bit confusing trying to work out who you need to talk to to get an issue resolved, but everyone is helpful in directing you to the right place.
Great for student wellbeing and inclusivity + a great city
Students are supported in learning and the student union and opportunities in the city make the nightlife great. The distance between accommodation and lecture buildings is the only aspect I don't like as much but it's still not bad.
Sheffield university is a really good uni with a welcoming environment for everyone. There is sometimes a lack of seating on campuses around lunchtime it can be difficult to find places to study at peak times due to such a high student capacity. If they added more seating that would make it perfect.
There is so much space to study and whatever building your in they all have cafes if you feeling peckish. The support is amazing.
Such a friendly university, great sports societies, fun nights out
Students union, welfare and accommodation are all great and the city feels very welcoming but with enough going on. The Peak District within walking distance is also a big plus
Love the study spaces especially western bank library
I love the atmosphere and social life. There is so much to do offered by both the students union and all the societies. The city feels so safe and accessible. We have a city campus that feels of it own, but still integrated into the city
Academic support is top notch and readily available/accessible. Student's Union does a lot of events and has a great selection of food outlets, as well as a pretty cheap shop. Lots of space to chill and study, and areas for societies to host events and whatnot.
4.5
great place to study with lots of cool events going on. Able to keep up to date with events through social media and explore things as i wish. Can't see how they could do what they're doing any better.
Lots of interesting in class teaching going on. Evenly paced throughout the year. Good study/life balance
I like the feel of the village and facilities available. Not too fond of the 2 mile walk in winter to get to campus. Considering I manage a property on the side, i had certain expectations with regards to the accomodation i was moving in to; i am happy with my room, but found the maintenance to be lacking in some areas e.g. black mould in the wet room/ shower, previous tenants food exploded inside the microwave... , amenities not provided e.g. toilet brush, etc.
