The experience depends on if you go to city or collegiate campus, if you go to collegiate, it is quite different to city life
Hi, thanks for your review. As you mentioned, our City Campus is located slightly more centrally in the city than our Collegiate Campus. Whereas City Campus is within walking distance of Sheffield's city centre offerings, Collegiate Campus requires hopping on one of the regular buses for a ten minute ride into the city centre. Collegiate is also a short walk away from a fantastic range of independent shops, cafes and bars along Ecclesall Road. You can find out more about the different areas of Sheffield to explore on our Guide to Sheffield for Students page at shu.ac.uk/study-here/sheffield-guide. Happy browsing! Emily
Very good experience with university. Only one con with career connect handshake staff. Not so friendly and helpful staff.
Hi, thank you for leaving your review. I'm really pleased to hear that you've had a very good experience at Sheffield Hallam University. However, I'm sorry you've found our Careers Connect Handshake staff to be unhelpful. The new Handshake platform has been launched to help employers and our students connect and it assists with the search for graduate job vacancies, careers fairs and workshops. We'd be really grateful if you can raise any concerns or provide suggestions on how Handshake can be developed and improved by emailing our Careers team at careers@shu.ac.uk. We appreciate how valuable the feedback from our students and staff is, in order for us to continue progressing as a University and community, especially when building and improving a new tool like Handshake. You can find a wide range of useful information on careers and employability, including specialist support for graduates, on our webpage at shu.ac.uk/careers. On this page, there is also a link to our Placement Action Week activities, commencing until 11th February, where you can sign up for sessions led by employability advisors and employers who are providing advice and information for placement searches. I hope you find this information useful. Best wishes, Emily

Westbar House is a great accommodation. The rooms are designed we'll and is substantial for a living. The property manager Simon is so friendly and has a solution for everything. He take that extra edge to help and never said no for anything. He is a stress buster at the accommodation, without him my living at the accommodation wouldn't have been this easy. The accommodation is quite well maintained and has all the essential facilities. If I could continue to live in here, I would have. There is nothing to complain or point out. Everything here is made easy and trouble-free to live.

Students union seems a bit pointless, also can be quite hard to find the rooms and the lifts in Owen are super annoying
Our students union is ran for the students by the students - you can get in touch with them directly with any issues you may have. It can take some time to find your way around our city campus.

there are so many opportunities for so many incredible things! the common room is such a cool way to socialise with people from different blocks and courses that you wouldn’t normally see. the benches in the courtyard have been used so regularly just for people socialising before going out to clubs or even to meet up to walk to uni

Great to hear about your experience. Our libraries and resources are open 24 hours, all year round, I am pleased to hear you've been finding the resources useful.
SHU is an uncoordinated mess with no respect for it's students or education. In my final year my dissertation supervisor told me to make up data, also my course leader was supposed to be a temp.
Loved my time at Hallam. I'm now staying on to do a Masters I enjoyed my time there so much!

We also have on-going support for our students too. I am glad that you enjoyed the experience you did have even if it was different to what was expected. - Stacey
This course started off really well until lockdown hit and every went down hill. My placement experience in third year was the worst experience I’ve ever had in my life. I do not wish it on my worst enemy. While Hallam has offered me an additional placement, this means my graduation is delayed. I can’t say I received much support from the tutors when I raised my concerns. I found the year leader in third year to be unsupportive and rude. If I could turn the clock back to 2018, I’d never apply for this course at Sheffield Hallam. Student satisfaction isn’t their priority; staying in schools good books is so that they can bag as many placements as possible for students while disregarding the disgraceful experience some students might experience at certain they allocate trainees to
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are really sorry to hear you have not enjoyed your experience at the University due to the pandemic, but it has been a difficult year for everyone.
