Regularly sends out weekly emails from the student union keeping us informed of events that are going on. Good offers from career services always offering opportunities and specific placement or work experience teams. Some nice buildings but certain facilities could be better
nice campus lots of places t0 go
Lovely campus and buildings, really enjoying course.
Lots of space to work and nice food. The lecture theaters are mainly nice to be in except avoid the Nelson Mandela if you are left handed.
I enjoy the overall experience at Sheffield University.
Love Sheffield and the campus, Wi-Fi could be better though.
I think that this is a great uni, they have everything a student could want or need and the standard to which they operate at is high. Good courses, departments, facilities and plenty of social opportunities as well.
Amazing University with excellent facilities!!
I spent a semester exchange at the University of Sheffield and I am very happy about my choice. The university is very welcoming to exchange students, the university buildings are modern and pleasant to spend time at and the city centre has a nice atmosphere and is easy to navigate.
Great university with good facilities. The wifi connection is sometimes poor though.
WiFi is good, SU is kind of out the way from accom, but good if wondering by, career services are good.
Great facilities with lots of events on all the time, support always easily accessible and uni health service made finding a GP in sheffield extremely easy.
university offers lots of opportunities for students to study and also have social experiences
Student union lecture theatre needs better tables. Cheaper food and more seats.
Very supportive, and any issues are resolved quickly.
The University of Sheffield has helpful and friendly staff and the facilities are great. There are often technical issues with my department (music), but generally things are sorted out quickly. The student's union has great shops and food! I recommend the university to other people!
ive had a great experience with no complaints
I am a private person and don't go to many social events, however there seems to be a lot offered.
Great University experience for sports, cheap accommodation and facilities. Centrally located.
I’ve had a great time at Uni Of Sheffield so far. It was my first choice after the opening day, and would still be my first choice now
It is a great place to be able to socialise and meet new people as there is something for everyone to enjoy
Wifi connection generally good but can be a bit patchy. Great facilities on campus, but would prefer more workspaces and desks in libraries and the SU. There is such a wide range of facilities at the SU and it is a safe and welcoming environment.
A very good university, financial issues are concerning for students though.
Students union is great and love the foundry
best university ive seen, amazing facilities and people
The su is great for socialising and studying
The students union has lots of events going on and has a great club in the basement.
Good student experience and am having a good time :)
Modern and well kept campus with a friendly environment. Student Union is ranked no1 for a reason, really good bar and events in the foundry.
Student union is great but could be more societies because there’s like 1 or 2 missing
The Biosciences Building (Firth Court) is a beautiful building with up to date labs. campus is kept clean and well managed.
Support is always available! So many opportunities to learn things outside your degree
Nice university with facilities that feel modern and well kept
The libraries and study spots are great on campus.
Fun atmosphere, lots of things to get involved in and good study spaces.
Great campus and support. Student union is the best I saw of all I’ve visited.
Had a great time in Kinder so far, the Ridge has a free gym which is very handy and I love the community fridge system
Good staff with wide variety of available modules
it's a good uni it was my first choice 👍
As an international student, I really enjoy studying there. The classes are interesting but most of all, the professors and the staff are super nice!! It is a very good place to study.
Good uni, nice people. Nightlife can be a bit dead sometimes
Overall happy with everything. Nothing is too stand out but the union is quite nice and has plenty of stuff to do
I think that university so far has been great I love the feel of it the wifi is available everywhere but does cut out
Had such a good time in Uni accomadation, would definitely recommend it
The campus is close to a lot of student accommodation.
WiFi is very bad Bar one and foundry are good
I personally love the Student Union and campus. The SU has so many facilities in itself, for activities, holding events, eating, buying necessities or baseline groceries, and events are often held in that area. Of course there is also an advice center, which helps you out with most things University, accommodation or finance related if you need it. The careers service in person meetings, I haven't tried out yet, but I did add some skills reflections in my portfolio which is linked to the app 'Career Connect', and it's very helpful in organising future skills employers might look for, which is helpful for building up you CV. They also provide job listing for part time and full time jobs, which is helpful in case you ever need to look for one. The campus itself is really easy to get around, and the hills themselves, though everywhere have to be concluded to be great exercise. I would just advise to leave your accommodation early enough to make up for time lost getting up the hills.
Overall a nice experience , I enjoyed it
I didn’t have a typical time at university, but overall had a good experience.
There a loads of cluns and societes, the student union is great, wifi is pretty good - there are a couple lecture theatres where its slightly slow but otherwise its great.
It’s a great uni! I love exploring the city and seeing different parts of campus. The students union in particular is a really nice space for whatever you need, and there’s such a great variety of societies!
Campus is a bit of a walk and takes time by bus in the morning from endcliffe/ranmoor but the diamond and ic are very good places to study.
Uni of Sheffield is an excellent place to study, learn and have fun
Its been great so far, there is nothing to complain about with it, there is lots of societies and the SU is cool.
I am very happy with the university's career support, facilities, and societies. Keep the vibe up!
Facilities are modern especially the SU and there are many societies
Very good university with lots of great opportunities
The campus and societies are good and welcoming
Great overall, course is very well organised.
Sheffield provides many great options for societies which has been a real highlight. The campus itself is very accessible and for the most part, there’s never much struggle to find somewhere to study.
Enjoy the uni. Best thing is the wide range of clubs and societies there is
All very good and convenient also a lot of societies
Area is generally good and the buildings I've been in are very easy to navigate once you've already been in them. A lot of people hold protests and political advertisements/campaigns/etc around as it is a student area. It's something to be aware of if you're an upcoming student. Another thing to note is that a lot of the buildings might be quite far away from each other (10-20min walks between some of the buildings) so it might be a little difficult to find where certain buildings are at first. I recommend walking around the area beforehand for students who are new to Sheffield.
Great accomodations, wonderful reception and overall a great social area
It nice i like the place and it hard but rewarding

Great campus and facilities, WiFi can be poor in some areas. Good social areas and places to study.
The University of Sheffield's students union is good.
It is best place to live and study and the common room is amazing
Enjoying my time here. Campus is lovely, lots of places to eat/ hang out/ study. Wifi works fine for me but I know a lot of people who constantly have issues with it.
I absolutely love the university campus. The students union is always having events on and there is a society or club for everyone that are well-priced for memberships and socials. The facilities are excellent, I personally love the Information Commons buildings as there are a wide range of resources to use for work. The careers service is good and offers advice on anything related to careers in the future or at present. Overall the university is a brilliant place.
The university is super lovely. Feels like a community, campus is brilliant location.
A very sociable university with a brilliant student union which offers things for everyone Campus is spread over the city and easily accessible
great university and good support
the campus is good, a little far from the university but no major complaints
Wi-Fi is a bit slow sometimes, but everything else is really good! SU is amazinf with so much to get involved with, and all the facilities are so accessible and fabtastic quality
The student union has everything you could want with lots of places to eat and places to buy food as well as study space. There is also so many clubs and society’s and you can also create your own. However the wifi is generally unreliable unless you are on a university computer.
Not a single complaint about the university facilities.
Good study spaces and socials with lots of societies to join. Some libraries can get very busy and so it’s hard to find a seat. Friendly people and well sized campus!
Great teaching, support, campus facilities, social life and general vibe. There are loads of eating spots, study spaces, hangout areas and great people.
amazing! the student union always has an event on and the campus is great
Very big range of clubs and societies
The campus offers good facilities and a pleasant environment, leaving little room for complaints. Clubs and societies are a strong point, providing a diverse range of welcoming and well-organized groups catering to various hobbies and interests. The Students’ Union is a standout feature, celebrated for its excellent organization, active support, and engaging activities that truly enhance the student experience. The careers service is generally helpful with good communication, although there’s room for improvement to make it more proactive. However, the unreliable internet and Wi-Fi connection can be frustrating and detracts from an otherwise positive experience.
Everything is great in general, it seems the student and staff are closely connected and the university is always doing what it can for it's students. It is friendly and the services available are invaluable
The university is great, its within the city so there are lots of places to go to study if you get bored of the extensive range of university owned spaces.
Great University, the student union is great with bar one and the campus, especialy the diamond building, is amazing
Great University and the best Student's Union
Internet connection is often an issue for me personally. This noticeably can take place in areas all around the university, but apart from that, it is a great place to study.
The uni has lots of events on that are always advertised so I can always be involved.
