The annual Whatuni Student Choice Awards (WUSCAs) highlight the incredible work carried out by institutions for their students. This year’s awards were based on reviews from over 30,000 students across the UK.
The best aspect in my university is how student friendly it is; they have a lot of support whether academically or health related. My favourite would be MASH which gives support for students struggling with maths and they would not judge you. So far the only not so good experience I have had was the steep inclined walks I need to take nearly everyday to classes but you'll get used to it eventually

The best aspect is that all my lecturers are very approachable and attentive. Their classes are most of the time interesting and quite simple to follow along. The worst aspect is that some lecturers teach using online videos uploaded before hand that can be far too lengthy to watch in one sitting

The best thing about living in Sheffield for students is that the cost of living is quite cheap. At the centre, you can find a lot of variety of shops as well. There's a lot of halal options as well for Muslims.
Fantastic welcoming community, beautiful city with lots of access to the countryside. Department made everybody feel welcome and it's a super place to live.
Loads of student societies, and lots of ways to get involved with the uni and with the Sheffield community!

Best - loved the variety of third year modules, and the extra-curricular maths available
Worst - foreign language modules weren't managed well and left confusion in final year
