Sort:Latest reviewsUni buildings are in great locations and when living in the main student area of Crookes/crookesmoor you're only a 10 minute walk away. The buildings are all in great condition and study spaces are lovely to be in. The SU club nights are only tailored to those who love pop/throwback pop- severely lacking for any other genres and is quite disappointing. Drinks inside are also some of the most expensive in comparison to other clubs in the city. Sheffield is an incredibly friendly, green city and only short journey on train to Manchester.
nice place very hilly

The Students Union is brilliant — there’s always loads going on and something to do, places to meet your friends and sit with a coffee.

The city is amazing, loads to do during the day and night. Lots of support available and great staff. So many societies there’s one for everyone, lots of activities for freshers to discover something new too. Cant think of any complaints really - only thing is not being a campus uni you need to be prepared to have a few walks around the city to get where you need to go
Sheffield is an amazing city especially of it is your first time moving out in your own, it is neither too big neither too small and there is everything you need at your doorstep. The professors are really enthusiastic and have been supporting my academic journey and personal development . I really like the societies in Sheffield because that is how I met most of my friends , I like how there is a convenience shop in the SU that has been such a life saver but I would say that I would like to see less events revolving around late nights and alcohol
Fantastic union and student experience. Student support is good but you need to go looking for it
Great campus Great course SU is amazing
Nice city. City is geared towards students. The uni is located perfectly
Great place for students, there’s always stuff going on
The community feel is amazing and the Student Union is amazing. The teaching quality is excellent and I have choice within my course to explore different areas of interests as well as focus in on my passions. The city has a lot to offer and to explore and the campus feels alive and busy!
I love the huge access to societies and clubs to meet new people and make friends. It could be improved by having larger study spaces, they are always full
It’s just got such a lovely feel to it, you feel like part of a community despite it being so huge and diverse. It really feels like home to me and there’s so much to do. It would be better if there were less strikes, happy staff = good education experience
I would like to talk about a place I go whenever I have leisure time and that is the Sheffield Botanical Gardens just half a mile away from my home location. There are numerous trees planted in such a way that you will be under the shade all day long. It, additionally, also has benches at a certain distance. It is a very quiet and peaceful place that one can fully concentrate on study.

The course is really interesting and I enjoy the environment. The staff are all really approachable and friendly. The SU is supportive and often has good events on to support all the students
location , cheap student city , highly ranked with good industry links
Drunkards made loud noise and smash walls in student accommodation (Endcliffe) at night.
I love the location, love the facilities and courses. The internet could be better, walking times from Ranmoor not ideal
I really enjoy the atmosphere as everyone is friendly, and the practice room facilities are good. I wish more feedback was given more during modules in prep for assessments/assignments.
4.5
It's a great city with lots of stuff going on, very green, and the students union and university are very involved and supportive.
The subjects and lectures are very interesting and the tutors are very knowledgeable. There isn't a huge amount of contact hours, especially compared to the number of assessments, and there is very little contact with personal tutors.
Good value for money and a nice location - close to the city but still quiet enough. Internet isn't the best.
