There could be more study space provided. There is lots of support from the staff, and I enjoy the flexibility I have with my module choice.
My best uni experience is experiencing new hobbies and meeting new friends and going on study sessions with rhem in places like the IC and the worst aspect is all the amount of work
Love the location and support and teaching from tutors.
The atmosphere, the views and the people are what make Uni of Sheffield so great. Being able to study and look out into a park or going to the SU and seeing everyone that works there really trying to make it the best experience for everyone is so fulfilling to see.
Great city and great uni. Lecturers could be a bit more engaging and interesting though!
the students union holds lots of great events to make you feel part of the community. great selection of societies/sport clubs.
Great experience, recommend to everyone
Great facilities and location. Sheffield as a city is cheap, but things within the uni are expensive
The learning facilities are excellent The permanent staff at the SU need to actually try at their jobs
Loads of facilities, places to eat and socialise, the facilities are normally clean and well looked-after
Close to the Peak District but also the uni buildings are in close proximity to one another and student accommodation - very accessible
The fact that Sheffield feels so close to the countryside yet still has a city feel is a big pro of studying here! The SU is another big positive aspect.
Great student union great staff
Driven too much by activism
It’s just amazing
Positives: great diversity, lots of great facilities and opportunities to improve your employability eg workshops, employer fairs, etc. Lots of socials and societies for you to be a part of. There is truly something for everyone. Students can work part time jobs at the university and summer research placements. Improvements : student village is really far from the university, would advise the uni to invest in buses. More scholarship opportunities (in any year of study).
Everything within the uni is so well located and the SU is truly the beating heart of the uni, sat between the libraries it is buzzing at all hours of the day and night. It’s great for coffee catch-ups and dusk till dawn dancing! The one downside is the car park in front of the arts tower which would be a lovely green park area but when the uni located between so many lovely parks how can you really complain?

Best aspects are the range of societies as it means something for everyone. Also very diverse study spaces and building appearance Could be improved by creating better quality food for a range of needs e.g. halal food is currently lacking flavour. They could also advertise pop up events at the SU clearer. They also are yet to properly address Palestine conflict despite having Palestinian students.
Lots of great choices for food and drink during breaks and lots of events however su and main library get very busy at time so often found earing outside where there isn't alot of benches

maybe more study space in the su would be great. Making more deals on food and drinks to make this place even more students- friendly
I feel like the teachers are not engaged in teaching as much as they could. They’re not really understanding either. Hard to think of the good thing, probably long holiday periods
