Sheffield is a very nice area.
At first I did not want to travel out of my home country for university. The thought of leaving my family and friends behind made me so homesick. But when I got my acceptance offer to the University of Sheffield I decided to take this chance and give it a go. I absolutely do not regret choosing to leave my comfort zone by coming to Sheffield. The people here have been so lovely and welcoming. Everyone from the university staff to the other students have been nothing but friendly. I love how the university of Sheffield offers so much fresher activities for new students to get to know others and make a new community.
Amazing uni, russell group is the best
Cool university it is a exciting and worth the experience
It is a good university and the wellbeing support is great!
Satisfactory experience. The teaching is good, the facilities are good, the tutors are friendly It would be good if they helped more with the careers aspect of things eg postgrad job opportunities
The amount of facilities that can be found to a lot
A good university and truly worthy of the Russell group
It's fine. My department (Management) is good but the rest of the uni experience is a bit mid. Too many communists,
Totally is very good.Once my door has no battery, the staff Hassan helped me to deal with this immediately. I really appreciate!
I think that Yarncliffe is the most ideal accommodation, being a mix of central in the Endcliffe Village so it is easier to get to, but not too close to the noisier areas. Endcliffe is good as most other first year students also live here so you can have many local friends and the activities that residence live provide are good too.
This is one of the best accommodations I’ve stayed in! It’s a shame I only discovered it during my final year as a student—thanks to their big sale this year. The location is ideal, just a short distance from the city centre. While it’s not right next to the university, the regular shuttle bus service makes commuting hassle-free. The staff are incredibly friendly and approachable. A standout feature for me was the 24/7 reception. Though I interacted less with the morning team as long day at uni, the security staff were always helpful, especially with parcel collection at any hour—perfect for a student like me! Facilities here are top-notch, and they host loads of free events (great for social, though I prefer staying in). The rooms are spacious, and soundproofing is decent—or maybe I just had quiet neighbours (never met them, since I was too cosy in my room!)
The university of Sheffield is a good university that has a wide range of facilities with helpful staff and services. The university has cut back in recent years and has been joining certain departments and changing the structure of things. Overall I would say that I have had a good time at the university and when the course I originally started on wasn't for me it was easy for me to change to something that was suitable for me. The non academic staff have been so incredibly supportive and the academic staff are so knowledgeable. The student union is a great place to socialise with other students and hosts a range of eateries a cafe and many other great facilities . Sheffield as a city has some beautiful parks and has incredible links to the leak district but does feel more like a big town rather than a city.
Best experience I have ever had in my student life . Campus is very beautiful, faculty are always welcoming, pleasant and supportive
good....................................
honestly this has been a really good uni so far, there’s loads to do
could be better. good facilities, wish the city was nicer though
Sheffield is nice however it is not a set campus University so there is a lot of walking between lecture halls and crossing roads.
Great university with amazing facilities and opportunities
I don't recommend this university.
excellent！The school is great everything is comfortable. The student body is diverse and there are multiple libraries on campus that provide study space. State-of-the-art equipment and fast internet speeds
Nice uni, shame that they’re cutting funding to humanities courses.
I really enjoy studying at this school. There are plenty of extracurricular activities, and I can always find a club that interests me. The student community is friendly, making it easy to connect with others. While some classrooms have older facilities, they are still fully functional. Besides, the newly built academic buildings are modern and beautiful. The school also provides great support for job hunting and any questions students may have, making it a great place to study and grow.
Great uni, friendly atmosphere
It’s a great university with lovely people around.
Good Uni, happy to be here with good facilities
All was good, good access to clubs and going out on west street, access via bus into city centre as well
Everything is brilliant, especially the receptionists
Only been here a semester, but it seems better than a lot of other unis (from what I've heard).
Nice environment and friendly staffs👍🏿
There is a wide range of clubs and societies, plenty of support resources and lectures on building a CV and working on employability.
great support systems. Good careers advice
It is solid, near city center and safe city.
I'm paying about £170 a week for an ensuite room, which is relatively expensive compared to living in other parts of Sheffield. The layout of the flat is good and it is very helpful to have a lift to take heavy items up the floors, One thing I will say is that the gym is way too sparse in terms of equipment. I cannot do much upper-body training there as there are no heavy weights to work with. The location of Ranmoor is quite inconvinient, as you will have walk a fair while to get to lectures, labs and seminars. I suggest to engineering students especially to seek accommodation closer to the Diamond, as some of the engineering facilities can take up to 45 minutes at walking pace. Another thing I should praise is the public transport link from Ranmoor to the city centre. They are frequent and at a reasonable price if you use your U-card.
university experiance so far as a first year has been good, i have most of my lectures and seminars in the wave which is a really nice space nice and open, the cafe having lots of food and drinks available.
I don’t want to leave, I’ve spent my BA and MA years here
Student union really deserves its place as best in the country!
good unni, wifi isnt always great
Pretty excellent all round. Great.
There's always lots to do and places to study/socialise
I have really enjoyed my time here so far! The facilities are brilliant and there is so much going on for students to enjoy.
A great uni that attracts a lovely bunch of people. Sheffield is a lovely city and super close to the Peaks!! Would recommend
Love the uni, so glad I go here, great accommodation, nice places for second year, good friends
slay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing campus with lots of smaller local businesses around, the students union is a great place to study or socialise and the libraries/study spaces are always available.
University of Sheffield and Sheffield in general is a great place to study. Not only is it about the cheapest city you can study in but there is something for everyone and I would recommend Endcliffe village for first year accommodation as it’s really lively and most people are there.
Overall pretty good, lots of societial events
Great University, nice staff, lots of facilities
Provides everything that i need, nothing to complain about and great staff.
eduroam is awful and intermittent, and also doesnt reach everywhere in the accommodation, some people i know have to use data more than the wifi when in their rooms.
Campus has really good facilities and SU is really active
I have enjoyed my time at university so far
Lovely uni Can’t complain about the union they do quite abit for you like the free food fridge and the free washes
Overall I am having a great time
The student union bangs so much
Wifi was really difficult to connect to and my ipad still isn't connected
Sheffield university is great, it keeps students very busy(depending on your degree), personally I think being busy learning a lot of interesting things, meeting new people is better than having not a lot of things to do. Clubs and society is a very wide. diversity (there is even a bee keeping society)
excellent in all categories, facilities vary massively depending on your course and the internet is Eduroam which is c*** but is across most universites
Good social life. Love Leadmill
Overall very happy with the university, the buildings and the support we receive.
The facilities, societies and support provided are all really good, the University really listens to student feedback and takes it on board. The student union is a nice place to grab lunch and study, and has a great underground venue for frequent union events!
The university facilities are excellent, however I always get randomly disconnected from the wifi and constantly have to re-login which is highly irritating.
Uni WiFi is decent but can sometimes have issues connecting. Some lecture theatres particularly the one in the student union aren’t the best as it lacks a proper desk to place a laptop or take notes.
Overall good, wifi could be better
Good university with support found everywhere. Lots of facilities, study spaces and extracurricular activities
Excellent university with great facilities. Very inclusive with easy access to the city
It’s good, could have even more seating and social spaces tho
Lots of society options, WiFi is good but occasionally disconnects from your phone for some reason
The University of Sheffield is very good. It is not overly complicated, the buildings are great with several facilities, such as for food, and the staff are always helpful.
Study is exciting, but the amount of students surprised
Overall had a really good university experience with a wide range of societies and a great student union.
Very good facilities for all types of people
Really welcoming atmosphere, good support but can be difficult doing admin. Lots of opportunities and things to do and the student union building has everything!
I love the residence life opportunities that give me opportunities to be more creative
Great uni, the main accommodations are a bit far away but there's great people here
Very good & safe area, close to shops
The university is great, they have lots of services and accommodations. I love studying here.
I dont personally join these clubs and societies. So i believe they are good
really good student union- very social. wifi very unstable though.
The university has been incredible so far - there is real sense of community through the student union and societies
great, love sheffield, great people great uni great city spots
Great uni everything you need and more
Good experience, wifi can cut out sometimes
Well equipped buildings, especially the engineering department. Student union is so good; the events, socials and sports societies are a must at Sheffield!
Good facilities and good location
I've attended Sheffield from foundation year, through undegrad and masters, to PhD. It's a generally great uni. However, the department cutbacks have had a negative impacted on my experience since beginning my PhD.
The university and campus is excellent.
wifi slow, SU had great shops and food places, lecture theatres are comfortable
Very pleasant university life, classmates and teachers are very friendly, school facilities are very good, transportation is convenient
Could not have been happier with my choice. Prices, location, support and facilities are all really good.
The students union is rated best in the country.
I think that the university is fantastic, as we have a range of opportunities in academic and social life.
Good uni with excellent facilities and student union.
Nice place and a well organised university.
There is lots of study spaces and the night life at the student union is always fun

The amount of options at Sheffield uni is amazing there is something for everyone there. The staff at all levels are amazing in their support.
Arguably the best SU in the country
