Most helpful review

The location on bailey street is excellent, very close to lidl and only ten minutes' walk to the library. The apartment has complete facilities, including a gym, study room, etc. I like the gym very much because the treadmill is very useful. The apartment manager Bowie is very friendly and patient, and often helps us with our daily life. Moreover, the apartment often organizes various parties and activities so that we can meet new friends. Especially the Christmas activities have allowed me to meet many beautiful girls.

Not worth the money. Lack of student support and mediocre teaching. Standards dragged down due to the university accepting just about anyone. This also means lectures are often rammed to the full. Not worth the current price of an arts degree.

Fantastic uni, but even better city. Good night life and solid services provided. Wouldn't even think of changing to a different uni.

Just finished first year and had a wonderful year, the degree course was great, there is really good support from the staff and the students union is amazing! They are putting a lot of work into improving the uni, there is always building work going on, and the diamond for the engineering department is set to be brilliant.

Not bias in the slightest, I do believe that Sheffield university offers its students an exepriece which is second to none. It's clubs and societies aren't merely 'student' - it's theatre company produces and performes work of national recognition. A city campus, you experience the freedom of independance for the first time, the whole city feeling open and safe. The plethora of clubs and bars means no one night is ever the same. Their approch to education encourages students to explore and experiment with creative and practical approches - my arts course particularly allowed for this breadth of learning. Having said this, the sandwiches in the union shop are a little pricey.

Way overrated Union. Nothing for anyone remotely alternative. Terrible at catering for gluten-free.
