Such a great student union and great societies!
Good uni good location
I really enjoy learning here
The Uni of Sheffield is well centred in the city, with a modern and exciting campus feel and a brilliant Students’ Union. Everyone is really friendly and I have really enjoyed my time here.
Sheffield is a fun place to be a student and everything was fine. But if you encounter problems with your uni work don’t expect much help. You will most likely fall behind due tutors and lecturers not checking up on you when you don’t do well on assessments.
Facilities in Sheffield are world class for any engineering discipline.
There could be cheaper methods of public transport and also more cafes around the university.
I like how the professors seem to really care for their students, and how much students' voices in general are heard, considering how big the SU is! It is only a little stressful having classes for the same subject in multiple different buildings.
The Students Union is honestly the best part of the University of Sheffield. With over 300 societies, you're sure to find something to your liking. Apart from that, the university has great facilities and the Diamond (engineering building) has anything you could ever need. 10/10 uni.

Sheffield is quite cheap in terms of the transportation, grocery and stuff, so it would be budget-friendly especially for international students. The community here is made up of various and diverse backgrounds be it religions, races, cultures and ethnicities. It will help you feel like you belong here since everyone is friendly and you will less likely feel isolated. The laid back nature in Sheffield also helps with stress you got from academic matters. Overall, highly recommended to study or even settle down in Sheffield :)
Rich facilities.
Inclusive, engaging and lots to do.
Great community here in Sheffield where it feels like small town although it is a major city. Lots of opportunities for extra-curricular work and clubs/societies as well as academic work.
The best parts are my friends and my job at the su.
The University of Sheffield is a great place to study as it has a very welcoming environment, the Students' Union and the University have numerous support services. The university departments, particularly history, are always keen to hear from the students on their experiences and studies to ensure they are forever improving, making it an excellent place to study where you feel listened to and your ideas and concerns can have a great positive impact on your learning. There really is something for everyone at the university with a range of clubs, societies and activities. You are encouraged to get involved, including outside of your comfort zone, and to be who you are. It's great location being a city with many eating places, activities, great transportation links and situated at the edge of the Peak District provides opportunities for breaks from study and to create memories with friends. Room for improvement I would suggest is having more sober socials across the university. Whilst there are some, this is generally limited. I think improvement in this area will allow for more time for students who don't necessarily want to/like drinking able to connect and still have a great time and experiences at university. It would also add to the already wide range of opportunities for those who do like drinking but want to do something different. This is however not to say that there isn't already plenty of opportunities to get involved even if you don't like drinking with clubs and societies but more socials which are specifically and purposefully sober would be great!! Also, introducing university parking for commuter students would be greatly appreciated! The University of Sheffield really, truly is a great place to study and I would highly recommend it if you want to feel supported, get a great degree from a prestigious university and make many wonderful memories along the way!!
