Most helpful review

Sheffield Hallam has helped me build life long friendships, develop new hobbies and gain a better understanding of what I want to achieve in the future. Staff have been helpful and supportive throughout my first year and I look forward to start my second year!

I enjoy the university. I am at collegiate campus which is really nice and every where is easy to find, not to intimidating like other universities and campuses. Great to find cheap food nearby and things to do. However, the library is far too small for a university and the food they sell at the campus is expensive (to say they are supposed to be accommodating for students). Could be better.

Love Sheffield Hallam university, the people, the city.. everything. would definitely recommend joining a club or society in first year to make as much friends as possible because it can get quite lonely if you limit yourself to your flat.

Everything is really good at the university. I am based at collegiate campus doing a sport course. The only let downs were although I went to the sport society opening. It was a bit packed and struggled to find what I was looking for.

I've not been to the clubs and societies, but people that i know who have say that they're really good. I also haven't yet used the wifi there, but people do use tablets and laptops in seminars and lectures and they haven't complained yet! I'm in love with the uni, it's a great place and has a lot to offer, especially since the library is huge, theres plenty of resources you can use.

Glad I chose this uni over my other choices. Not the best uni in the world, but it's better than most other uni's in the country. I'd definitely recommend them.

I love Sheffield Hallam University. Although it is not a campus uni, the university building are all very close together, and are right in the centre of Sheffield making a short trip into town very easy. My main fault with the uni would be the students union as it is not a very big building and does not advertise many events, activities etc. too well.

Sheffield Hallam is a great university in an exciting city. From my time there I have found my course to be really interesting and engaging and there are plenty of options to learn more about what interests you. Hallam has a placement year option available for almost every course making sure you are an employable graduate by the time you leave. There is a dedicated careers and employability centre and lots of events and talks throughout the year to provide students with the relevant information and contacts they need to get where they want to be in industry. There's loads of great sports facilities and even our own Sportspark. I have enjoyed my time at Sheffield Hallam so much and I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Hallam has been great! If you live in sheffield then you will know the hallam v uni of rivalry. I personally got the grades for uni of and still chose hallam. I study languages with TESOL and the course seemed more suited to me as I could base my languages around teaching and it also gives me the option of spending 18 months abroad where I would only have had a year at uni of. The uni is pretty relaxed, they won't chase you if you're not turning up to things so you just need to take that responsibility and you'll be fine! The uni is very sociable and there is always many nights out(it's normally hard deciding where you want to go on a night out as there's normally a couple of club/student nights on each day) the location is great as it's in the city centre and very close to everything. I've not had to once a bus at all. Student union only has a bar which does an awesome smart phone quiz on a Monday but there's that many student nights it's not an issue at all.

Hallam is alright. There should be a part to rate the organisation of the university i.e. admin etc... because that has been TERRIBLE in my experience. But if you take away the lack of organisation then my experience at Sheffield Hallam has been completely positive.

Sheffield Hallam University is a great place to study. It has a fantastic range of courses to choose from. The lecturers are supportive. The halls of residence are located in a lovely part of the city near to the campus. It is an inexpensive place to live. The amenities and nightlife offer many opportunities to socialise and make friends. There are many parks and green areas and it is next to the Peak District National Park. The people are friendly too.

Tutors and Lecturers can be rude and lazy, only a couple that actually care about your understanding but instead more concerned about just you knowing the answer and not how to get there. If you can, go University of Sheffield.

Excellent university! As a Bioscience student, the labs we use are first-rate, with many of the same facilities as are available in research labs and industry. The library is filled with excellent computers (with a very good booking system) and all the books we need. Any journals we need but that the uni don't have can be ordered in for us, free of charge. Wifi is VERY fast and works perfectly. Staff are supportive and helpful, and usually lecture in the area they are researching. Very knowledgable and always seem enthusiastic. Lots of support available for careers, ie how to get jobs and how to be the best applicant, hence why such a high percentage of graduates are in work or further study. The Union is good but the building itself could be improved. They provide good support for students and always have a wide range of activities to sign up for. Societies are run well, and the number is always increasing so there are loads to join. I'm incredibly happy here!
