Good social spaces in campus, supportive staff and organised course congent
Great university, I am enjoying my time here a lot.
University could be a place for a person to thrive if they are willing. Some of us who enjoy the quieter life don't see it as a place where I can thrive as myself.
Really really good overall!!!!
Loving my time at Sheffield Hallam University.
This is a great university in a great city with lots of guidance and support. Professors are very knowledgeable and helpful. The student union for SHU is not used so could definitely be improved on. Connecting to the WiFi is very easy, only need to do it once and counts over the entire campus. Collegiate campus is such a lovely campus and has trees and flowers which it makes it look gorgeous all year round. I am a sport student and the equipment is top notch, and able to access and use at any time with a booking
decent university with good facilities
SHU is the best university in Shedfield. It is close to the town centre and the train and bus station. Also the people there are very hospitable and make you feel at home.
Everything great, there are lots of options!
i really enjoy coming to uni and have made quite a few friends here despite being very introverted. the lecturers are all very nice and the campus is a nice place to be.
I love Sheffield Hallam. A great place to blossom as a character and connect with people alike.
