For its value, it is a great student accommodation from the University. If you are lucky enough to live with nice and clean people, your experience here should be good. The shower and toilets are nice, so you dont really spend time waiting for them. The kitchen is really small, you can barely fit in there 5 people. But overall, I like it. If you are looking to save money on accommodation fees, definitely look into this option

Hello and thank you for your kind review, we are very grateful.
Accommodation with a shared bathroom is a great option if you are on a budget. You will never be sharing with more than 6 students and the communal areas are cleaned every 2 weeks.
If you want more social space you could try The Edge or The Ridge. These are large areas you can meet with friends and you can book to attend the many events that the Residence Life team hold over the year and many of these are free. You can also book The Green Room where you can sit with friends and watcha film or play a game.
Save lots on money over ensuite, but still costs too much for what it is. Slightly run down, there is no social space (the kitchen is so small that they have us 3 chairs in a flat with 5 people to 'save space'). WiFi is a pain to set up, ethernet is impossible to do without calling over the IT guys, who's email is very hard to find. It's. Close to shops, just over 5 minutes away (better used for quick top ups though). The edge is down the hill, with a bar, and a study space below so you can get out of your room a bit more. The cleaners do a good job, no complaints but it is one 2 weeks so you do have to do some maintenance yourself. Maintenance is quick, send in a request form and they get to you in a couple of days. Most of the staff at the edge are nice expect for 1, maybe 2 that are very cold. All in all, ok for first year to save some money (I pay £130 a week, 2nd year accommodation is £114, and much nicer, both prices including bills).

Hello and thank you for your review, we are very grateful.
Standard accommodation is a great option if you want to save money and don't mind sharing bathroom facilities. You will never share with more than 6 people either.
If you have any issues with WiFi you can contact IT services fo rfurther assistance.
If there are any maintenance issue then these can be reported via acs-customerservices@sheffield.ac.uk. We aim to get things sorted as soon as possible.
All bills are included even laundry so you don't need to worry about any extras.
Great place to be, very close to the edge without being loud, small flats which have nice community vibes. Good cupboard space in the kitchens (enough for 2 cupboards each). Only downside is the lack of sofas, other than that would very strongly recommend.

Nice and cosy accommodation for the price. Close to a number of shops including the village uni shop. With any maintenance issues resolved quickly.

Later in the summer students will be asked to complete an E-Induction. This gives them lots of useful information and they can book a timeslot for their arrival. If it's the Ranmoor/Endcliffe site you can drive onto the site, unload the things then move the car to the paddock and leave it there for the rest of the day. We just ask that a mobile number is dispalyed on the windscreen in case of emergency. For our city accommodation there will be information sent to guide people to several car parks where they can park after dropping items off. Please note that the city car parks are not university owned and charges will apply.

Hello,
The kitchen comes with all white goods (fridge, freezer, microwave, kettle, toaster etc), and students are required to bring their own kitchenware such as pots and pans, dishware and crockery etc. The Free Shop at Endcliffe on Sunday 17 September is a great way to pick up any kitchen items you may have forgotten, so we highly recommend heading over to check it out.
