Very friendly and helpful staff, especially careers service. They’ve got a lot to offer. ELTC has so much you can benefit if you’re an international student.
Campus is really good and university is really great, i love how helpful the staff is.
Good university and place to study
Good university to study for international
su is brilliant, eduroam will kick you off and turn off constantly, societies are daunting but you might get lucky and find friends
Great campus and students union. Lots of opportunities available
Enjoyed my journey so far, been fairly easy to get into the swing of and maintain, facilities are amazing and I feel the access to the student union and societies has helped me a lot.
The Students Union is amazing, they offer so many societies and many opportunities to enhance your university experience!
Student union has definitely been an advantage of coming to Sheffield
Wi-Fi is slow and unreliable generally - outstanding facilities with top SU
Endcliffe is a good place to live for the social life, Froggatt is a good block, close to the edge but not too noisy.
All the sectors mentioned are amazing, only gripe with wifi is that I, and everyone else I’ve mentioned it to, get disconnected from it all the time. Quite annoying but quickly resolved, you just enter the password again.
Wifi is horrible. Fix it. That's all
Great Uni, campus can be ugly in some parts
The campus is really good, there are some really lovely cafes and study spaces in most of the buildings which means you can always find a nice place to sit and wait for your next lecture or just chill for a bit. The students union always has an arrange of events which is great for first years and great to meet new people. there is a wide range of clubs and societies so no matter what your interested in, you will always find something you want to do!
Made use of the societies and clubs, a lot on offer plus the ones I have joined have been really friendly and welcoming. A lot of options for the careers service. Weekly emails for jobs is useful and the cv builders are practical and useful too. Wifi has had some connectivity issues, however the speeds have been pretty good.
I enjoy my time at university and my course.
University life is rewarding because there are always things to do. There are a great variety of societies to choose from.
Great wifi good place lovely views good nights out
Good experience with amazing facilities. A lot of active societies too
Good facilities and most things in there are very cheap
So glad to go to this univeristy
Amazing place to study has a lot of support and features
Accommodation is a bit far from central campus but other than that it’s a really good uni
the campus itself is great! a range of buildings, all of which are open relatively late for those late night study sessions. sometimes finding an area to study can be difficult.. the wifi is generally okay, not perfect but does the job. sports societies are massive here! wednesday nights out are so fun:) non-sport societies are so varied - they have one for everyone
Great facilities and student union, I have not had much experience on the careers service to comment on it but they regularly send emails and have a hub in the students union, wifi can be temperamental at times.
great uni, lovely people and area, always lots going on and much to engage with and still lots of support during studies
Easily settled into first month here as everything is accessible and questions are answered quickly
Amazing place to be just be happy here
Amazing Uni. Supportive and encouraging.
Love the support we get however wifi is always around 2 bars unless in building on campus
I have really enjoyed my first few weeks at Sheffield, there is still so much more to do and explore! It feels big whilst still ah big that small village community feel!
Little to no complaints about my university experience. Campus has so many huge and beautiful options for libraries and study spaces. The clubs and society options are endless, always opportunity to get involved somehow. The Careers Service is always on top of helping with employment during and after your degree
The Students Union and sports/societies are great. It's a very welcoming uni with plenty of high quality facilities and good professors
the university is not spending their funds correctly, the diamond which is the main library doesn't have any working plugs and they keep closing silent study places so there is not enough space to study anymore
I would say that uni of sheaf is an excellent uni with any exceedingly large variety of resources.
Really feel part of the community at Sheffield, and proud to be part of it. Everyone is supportive and happy to help, and the variety of clubs and societies is incredible.
My time as a student at the University of Sheffield has been incredibly positive. The academic environment is both challenging and supportive, providing countless opportunities for growth and learning. The faculty are knowledgeable and always willing to offer guidance, which has greatly enhanced my studies. One of the standout aspects of the university is its strong sense of community. The campus is diverse and inclusive, with students from all around the world, which has allowed me to connect with people from various backgrounds and expand my global perspective. The facilities, from the library to the student union, are top-notch and contribute to an enriching university life. Living in Sheffield has also been a wonderful experience. The city is friendly and welcoming, with a vibrant cultural scene and beautiful surroundings, perfect for a balance between studying and exploring. Overall, I am grateful to be a part of the University of Sheffield and would highly recommend it to anyo
UoS has great night life and the courses are well instructed
Great university with great courses and facilities.
Pretty good tbf I love Sheffield uni
I couldn’t imagine myself anywhere else :) Sheffield is such a perfect student city and the uni is amazing! I will always recommend it here.
University of Sheffield is a great place to develop and nurture your skills. University also provides us with plenty of opportunity to grow ourselves soft skills also.
All good. The staff is so nice. And the location is so convenient. All good.
Living experience is amazing!!!!!!
I think Sheffield is a great University so far. As an engineering student, their equipment and facilities really stand out to me. Everything we do in lectures and labs reinforces the idea that they care about students and want to invest in the best education possible. The campus is really nice, and easily walkable (as long as it isn't raining too hard). The societies have been a real highlight for me, and I strongly recommend trying out as many as possible. Finally, internet is good, but not amazing. All Uni buildings have the eduroam network with ~20mbps speeds. While my accommodation didn't have great wifi, I was able to hook my laptop up to ethernet and get much better speeds.
Great city and place to learn and enjoy... ✨
Pretty much everything I was hoping for, at least within my first month
social life at uni is great, societies ad clubs make uni life much more enjoyable. classes are engaging and challenging, encouraging me to maintain effort in my units.
It is good and I have a good time here
i think is a great place for first year students
Very kind and approachable staff who do not hesitate to help and support anyone struggling. Some older buildings and underground lecture theatres or labs having less than ideal internet access but otherwise very comfortable learning and study spaces throughout the campus and all buildings. Lots of activities and updates that make sure you will not miss out on anything, from society events, seminars or career talks available to everyone.
Best accommodation hall in sheffield
Best SU in the UK and it shows. A really strong student experience that integrates you into the community and the city.
The university is a exciting experience for me.
In my experience, all of my lecturers are very approachable and make studying enjoyable. The campus is convenient and I have been able to meet lots of great people through society socials. The student union is big and has great outlets.
Excellent student union with a wide variety of facilities/ opportunities.
This is genuinely the best uni ever! They are so welcoming and the campus is so easy to navigate - and the lectures and my department are so nice and so helpful.
Best uni in the UK. Faculty is the best.
The university buildings and facilities are excellent but everything is on a hill and slightly far away so it is tiring going back and forth from classes. The check in system doesn’t work for me that well but there are always informative events going on that are useful for my education and career
Good student union and clubs. Some nice campus buildings.
Sheffield has the best SU in the country and I have found that true whilst studying. There is always something to do, always help if you need it and great opportunities at hand.
Everyone is friendly here and the SU is really good. Theres a mix of modern and old facilities but they are all well lit and warm. I'm enjoying it here.
Unfortunately, I have been limited in what I've been able to see so I can't give a detailed run down. But the few areas I'm mainly in are extremely modern and very nice (Mainly the Wave)
My first year on campus has been enjoyable so far, the campus is a nice and welcoming place with friendly staff and many amenities.
Best university for aerospace engineering, absolutely enjoying my time here.
Great uni, awesome buildings recently refurbished. Students union very active with lots of activities and societies. Wifi eduroam cuts out from time to time but usually works alright
Great university campus, placed in the heart of the city.
i've been here for just a bit, but i can already see the kind of effort the university - the facutly, the supporting teams and the students union alike, has put in to make sure you get the most out the opportunity. The academic content is delivered very well, the services are plenty and the students union makes sure to accomodate anyone and everyone.
The social aspect of the University of Sheffield is simply amazing. Wi-Fi is very good, but sometimes it disconnects randomly, which is pretty annoying, doesn't happen very often though.
This university has it all, cant go wrong with this amazing place!
Great place to stay. Great place to enjoy.
Lots of societies and activities run by the SU, helpful services and lots of social and study areas - wide range from group to silent library spaces across the whole campus.
SU and the university seem really engaged with students, particularly student well-being. Lecturers seem to want the best for students and engage and help them understand content more thoroughly
I've never had any issues in my 6 years studying here
a really good environment and great culture
The students make the city and in a lovely setting, you can never get bored.

I have enjoyed my time here and university and found the facilities were all very good as well.
A good accommodation with a lovely environment with good facilities
Univeristy of Sheffield is a diverse and tight-knit community. From day 1, I have been welcome into societies and sports clubs, welcomed by the appropriate officers of the school, been motivated towards the Dean's List, shown how to use the digital tools required and everybody has been super helpful. Registration and delivery of lectures is seamless and easy.
The societies are such a good way to make friends with such a wide range of societies to join
