The University of Sheffield

The SU is quite nice and big and te libraries have a good selection of resources. However there’s nowhere near enough seats/seating area/ working areas through the campus to spend time during the day. The food and drink available on campus are really expensive too. My course was alright overall - getting better towards the end

University has nice buildings but could do with more study space in the libraries and the university sports facilities can be made cheaper.

Studying at the University of Sheffield has been a very rewarding and enjoyable experience. The campus has a mixture of architecture, old and new. The student union is very useful, with shops and cafes with anything you might need. Similarly, the university facilities shops/cafes are fantastic at providing vegetarian/vegan food, Better than most regular shops. The only thing there is to complain about is the lack of space in library facilities. Overall, it is a very good university, with great facilities

Course was awful - BA geography. Harsh marking and no support at all from the department The su was really good with lots of activities planned and good nights out - including roar, TC and poptarts.

More of a research university and therefore most of the lecturers are more invested in their own work instead of the student. Although it is nice to have access to so many experts in one field, I would have benefited more from a hands on education with lecturers and tutors invested in me and my peers.

Sheffield university is a city campus with a range of good facilities. The union holds lots of events and is very good, especially when comparing to other universities.

The university is inclusive of every Me and triensto promote student welfare as much as it does the academic side. Whilst it prides itself on being a Russel group university, it also has the best SU in the country! I couldn’t reccomend the univetdity more, it’s got s great location, amazing staff and a really good vibe.

Course is really good as is the medical school. Staff friendly but they don't have many water fountains and charge a lot for everything.

Friendliest university and amazing for student experience. The student union is so good, the buildings have extensive facilities and lots are newly built

Fantastic students union voted the best in the UK for the past 9 years. Great student city. Facilities at the university are really modern with new investments such as the Diamond and the Information Commons. There are also lots of opportunities to work part time, especially for the university. These roles are also quite flexible and pay well and I would highly recommend either mentoring or being a student ambassador! Overall it’s a very international environment which I absolutely loved meeting people from all around the world!

Beautiful campus that is very accessible and close to city centre. Course (law) was engaging, varied, and we'll taught with lecturers who are always willing to offer further insight and support. The SU is best in the country and has a huge amount going on that really augments the student experience.

Campus is great, things are close together so easy to move between things. SU is particularly good. Great facilities in the day and great nights out throughout the week.

Excellent uni, great accommodation. Brilliant facilities. Support provided for students including mental health is very good. Excellent and knowledgable careers service.

Overall my university experiance in sheffield has been pretty good. There isnt really a campus but the university blends in with the city center area. Some of the buildings are quite nice inside and new but others are quite old and pretty basic looking. I like how some of the moduals arnt exam based but course work based, and you can pick the moduals bassed on the method of assesment if it makes a difference for you. The unions apparently ranked the best in the UK, and has pretty good food and seating areas inside. The sports facilities are quite poor compared to unis like sheffield hallum, but we still manage to to better in varsity so it cant be that bad. All the information a student needs is on mole or muse, its there if you look, but lecurers will also go over assesments and send emails for announcements so in terms of organisation its pretty good.

Brilliant university - the students union is one of the very best in the country and nights out there (particularly Tuesday club) are amazing. Student halls are lovely but a little expensive, and I do biology which has been an amazing course with a main focus on whole organism research.

very good university enjoyed my course was very thought provoking aswell as that the facilities were beyond bar

The campus was well preserved and ideal for students, people were always willing to help across campus and at the student's union. The school of English is very satisfactory for anyone who wants to do English lang and lit in depth!

the mathematics course is very good and interesting and all staff members are very helpful, is very well run and organise and the workload is perfect. I would highly recommend it.

As I am international student from Malaysia, coming to UK to study is really a good idea. The facilities and technology are wayy better compared to my country. I love how everything is fast, reliable and perfect. I love the student union’s. The course that I take is chemical engineering. The syllabus is well divided, not too much work, not too little. I think choosing sheffield uni is my best decision.

Good university offered good pastoral care. Good course structure with a good choice of modules. Sometimes organisation within the physics lacks and I am left confused and worried about deadlines. Poor handling of the strikes with hardly any correspondence on how assessments are going to be effected until 3 weeks after the strikes. Overall a very good university with a great student feel and a good support network.

Personally , my course i find it to be very unorganised and too reliant on self study, i am paying 9K to be taught not to teach myself.

Brilliant! The student accommodation is perfect and the campus is huge! Though it’s rather pricey it’s still definitely worth going or aim towards going!

The Student Union is the centre for student services and activities throughout the university. As well as the general shops and a bank, the Union contains a Student Advice Centre providing support and a sympathetic ear to any student in difficulties. There are also several food and drink outlets. After stopping at the Copy Shop to get your essay printed, or the Jobshop for some advice on part time work in the city or arranging a placement, you can head over to Bar One to have a drink with your mates and watch the sports on its big screen TVs. Students are offered a lot of extracurricular activities. More than 250 societies meet around the campus and city, including Creative Writing, War Games, Knitting, faith-based groups, and a large Sports Committee. Besides this there are RAG (‘Raising and Giving’ events throughout the year to encourage students to raise money for charitable causes. Past events have included a treasure hunt, bungee jump and night hike. Students in Sheffield will also enjoy the relatively low cost of living, compared to other major UK cities.

SU is good, uni is geeky, course is hard. Libraries are always busy but the resources are okay. Lots of hills in Sheffield. The counselling service is terrible.
