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.

English Language and Literature - BA (Hons)

University rating (4)

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.

Computer Science with an Industrial Placement Year

University rating (4)

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 :)
