Best uni, best experience, best city - couldnt recommend more. i finished two weeks ago and i was so sad leaving. Wish they did the masters i want to persue so i could have stayed.
This is fantastic to hear! That's a shame, I wish you luck in your future career! Thanks, Bridget
I had the best ever time at hallam, I always know it was the uni for me and it was 1000x better than what I expected !!
This is brilliant, I am pleased that Hallam has exceeded your expectations! Bridget :)
The uni is so caring and will do all they can to support you.
This is pleasing to hear! It is great you've had this experience. Thank you, Bridget
Sheffield is a great place to be as a student! Hallam's campus is situated around the City Centre meaning everywhere is accessible by foot! The support I have received at Hallam has been above and beyond.
This is lovely to hear, I'm glad you've benefitted from the support available at Hallam. Yes - everything in walking distance makes things very convenient! Thanks, Bridget :)
Univeristy is good, and the facilities are top quality and the atmosphere is nice. However as a first year I am yet to even go to the students union as there are no interesting events on and there are not many societies in comparison to some other univeristies.
Glad you've had a great experience at Hallam and taken advantage of our facilities! Thanks for sharing your feedback on the Student's Union, it's always good to hear all types of views to help us improve! Thanks, Bridget
Only thing I would change is the student Union - building is shocking and as a result nobody uses.it
Hi, thanks for your comments on the Students Union, we welcome all types of feedback here at Hallam. I hope you've had a good university experience overall! Thanks, Bridget
It’s a fantastic place where everyone makes you feel welcome and at home.
This is great to hear, I am glad you've had a brilliant time and felt at home! Thanks, Bridget
Such an amazing uni, very social but the union and society could improve but not a big deal because there are so many things to do in Sheffield
I'm pleased you think so! And yes there are so many things to do in Sheffield to keep you entertained. Thanks, Bridget
Each building is unique, and actually really nice. Warriors American football are the best club here(and all other universities) get on it if you haven't.
I'm glad you think so, we are proud of the buildings here. That's also good to hear! Thanks, Bridget

Great uni, great experiences! City campus is starting to become a bit dated so needs work doing. Where’s the on campus Starbucks like every other uni has? Students Union is shocking compared to other universities, needs serious work

Really appreciate with the service of university One of the best university in United Kingdom Be proud as a student of Sheffield Hallam University
This is lovely feedback to read, we are proud here of the service we provide to students! Thank you for sharing, Bridget
Would prefer if collegiate was connected to city campus
Hi, which course did you do? City and Collegiate campuses both have their benefits, one being more central and the other being in leafy green surroundings :) Thanks, Bridget
Good experience overall, could be better tho
Great to hear! We are interested in all kinds of feedback, what things could be improved here? Thanks, Bridget
This university had great facilities and very friendly and helpful staff. After graduating at hallam and doing further study at a red brick university I have realised to appreciate the good quality services found at Hallam.
Yes, we are proud of the facilities we have here at Hallam. I'm glad you've benefitted from the services here too! Thanks, Bridget
There are 2 campuses which can be a hassle. Also if you are unfamiliar with a building that you are in for a lesson it can be a pain to find where it is as the campus is lots of different buildings. This is due to the nameing and numbers used to lable rooms etc is not very easy to understand. Seems to be many of clubs and socitiew and the socities are always activly present in the city with nights out and fundraisers etc. Students Union is quite small and not commonly used by students. There is lots of room for improvement especially compared to many other student unions i have visited. Careers service offer lots of resource to aid placement getting, part time job getting and cv building. For my experience they have been great. Internet and wifi can sometimes be a hassle to connect to and you need help to connect the first time.
Hi, thank you for your feedback. I'm glad you've had a brilliant experience with the careers service and I hope it has helped for your future. It is also good to hear that the societies are active in the city. Sorry to hear you've had trouble with navigating the campuses and that you've had difficulty connecting to the internet on occasions. As a university, including the students union, we are open to feedback so if you would like to email enquiries@shu.ac.uk your comments we can look at ways to improve. Thanks, Bridget
Amazing stuff , been loving it
This is lovely feedback to read! I hope it continues. Thanks, Bridget
It’s a really nice, modern and cosy homely feel to it and it made feel very welcome during my first few weeks.
Hi, I'm glad you've had a positive experience at Hallam and it has felt like home for you! Thanks, Bridget
If you’re serious about university, dont go to this joke of a uni. Could easily teach yourself this s*** and the lecturers aren’t anything special so save yourself 9 grand a year
Hi, sorry you've had this experience at Hallam. What course did you do/are you doing? What was the problem with the lecturers? Did you not receive enough support from them? We welcome all feedback and are happy to talk in more detail about how we can help resolve this. Contact us here Thanks, Bridget
Great, cheap accomodation. Really good induction week with lots of activities to help students make friends. Overall the uni has a great community feel and is really welcoming and friendly. Sheffield is a lovely city too with great (cheap!!!) night life.
Hi, thanks for this! I'm glad you've had a brilliant time here and made the most of the activities. We are proud of the community we've created at Hallam and I'm happy you're benefitting from exploring the city too! Bridget

Love it here! Value for money and the facilities they provide make up for the hefty tuition fee (24 hr library and brilliant SU!)
This is great to hear! I'm glad you've had a good experience :) Bridget
Been a quality uni I'm loving the facilities. The library is particularly on point and I love the ability to take laptops home for people who don't have any
I'm happy you've had a brilliant experience at Hallam, and glad that the library has fulfilled your needs! Bridget
Not the best not the worst, a great student support network with plenty of career and accommodation advice along with some lovely staff.

Pretty decent uni, I’m a nursing student and the facilities are great. The labs are in top shape and the campuses are nice ☺️
Good luck with your nursing degree, it must be such a rewarding profession! I'm glad you're making the most of the labs and facilities. Yeah Collegiate Campus is great isn't it! Thanks, Bridget
I have spent 4 years at Sheffield Hallam University for my undergraduate and postgraduate degrees and would recommend Hallam to anyone. Great facilities, interesting course structure and a strong sense of belonging and pride.
Hi, I'm glad you had a lovely time here, and that you feel a strong sense of belonging and pride- this is something we are really proud of here at Hallam. Thanks, Bridget
Sheffield Hallam don’t like to put their hands in their pockets; no do they like to give credits to students who actually work hard for the duration of their studies. If you want to have to take time off work/out of your further studies to have your graduation, it’s the perfect uni. With graduation in November because they don’t want to have to pay to rent out the city hall in summer. Then when you get to graduation they fail to give credit to the students who have the highest grade overall on their course (wasn’t me so I’m not being bias). It was good when I was there and it’s fair to say I had fun. But now I’ve moved on I can see the areas in which they fail to consider what students want over how much it will cost.
I'm sorry you've had this experience at Hallam, please can you elaborate on "nor do they like to give credits to students who actually work hard for the duration of their studies"? How would this look? I will give this feedback about failing to give credit to highest grade students at graduation to the alumni team so they can address this and make improvements for the future. I'll also let them know about the difficulties some people face with a graduation ceremony in November. I'm glad you had fun when you were here! Thanks, Bridget
Love my uni! All the lecturers are very friendly and the facilities are amazing especially for nursing
Hi, this is lovely feedback to read - I am glad you are loving the experience here! Good luck with your studies and future career. Thanks, Bridget

Hi, I'm really glad you love it at Hallam and that you feel at home here, sense of place and belonging is something we strive for so it is lovely to hear this feedback. Merry Christmas! Bridget
Started a new course, to find the course tutor had lied about certain things so students would join. Which now means I will have to restart a new course next year. Awful uni.
Hi, sorry you've had this experience at Hallam, which course did you originally start? And are you doing a totally different course next year? I can feedback this information to the staff so this doesn't happen again. I hope your experience going forwards is better. Thanks, Bridget
I really enjoy this uni and feel like I learn a lot on my course

Sheffield Hallam has everything you need. The annoying part is that they now have a no printing policy but otherwise it’s brilliant.
I'm glad you're enjoying your time at Hallam. Sorry about any inconvenience casued by the no printing policy, why have you found this annoying? I will feedback to the department about this. Bridget

Reyt good uni. Proper Yorkshire place
Awesome! Yes it is indeed. I'm glad you've had the best time here. Bridget
Sheffield Hallam is an overall good university although it has a lot of room for improvement
Sheffield Hallam offers vibrant learning environment in one the UKs best city's for students. The courses are well run and there is lots to choose from + Louis Therouix got a doctorate from here. When you're not studying there is plenty to do for everyone, especially if you are outdoorsy lite myself.
Sheffield Hallam University has been a great experience for me, catering for everything I could ever need, there is always something (a service or a club) that fits exactly what I’m looking for. I would highly recommend going to Hallam
Amazing university with fantastic facilities and student support #HallamRanger
Amazing. I loved my time at SHU
Terrible student support, don’t stick to learning contracts, unhelpful to harmful student support officers and little to no financial support, and little disabled student support
The experiences at Hallam are phenomenal as I have never experienced in my life! Like going to Iceland. Hallam has wonderful staff on your course and help you as much as they can! It is truly the best place to go !
When going through a really tough time during exam period last year the wellbeing team were absolutely amazing! I wouldn't have made it through the end of the year without them. Having never registered with the wellbeing team I came to Colliegate campus needing help as I was experiencing a very serious personal problem. The staff there got me in contact with the wellbeing team immediately and paid for a taxi for me to get to an available appointment on time. I cannot express how much I appreciate what they did for me. I've never received this kind of help from anywhere I've studied/worked.
The uni is good and the tutors are very helpful and act like they really want to help. My only negatives are a lot of the services offered at the university are often very slow and sometimes don’t help and also lots of the sport societies have awful rules and tricks they play on freshers to bully and intimidate them.
Great place to study with fantastic opportunities on offer
Sheffield Hallam was instantly preferred for me when looking round other universities and I have settled into it extremely easy
A brilliant uni in the Heart of the City centre. So much support and funding offered with a lot of guidance and encouragement to get experience alongside studies. Great resources.
I like there is WiFi, vending machine, microwave, card machine, train ticket machine and keetle at the main campuses! I really SHU
Very well organised and students are taught practical skills rather than just academic
Being at Sheffield Hallam has expanded so many horizons for me. The learning experience is fantastic and so is the night life. There are so many extra curricular to get involved in and so many ways to enhance your CV. There’s so many opportunities for you to get involved in. Sadly the Student Union isn’t that great but there’s so much to do in Sheffield that it doesn’t matter too much.
I love Sheffield Hallam, there is so much of a community spirit and so many events! If you’re not into ‘stereotypical’ uni societies, there is definitely something still for you! I feel so safe on campus and wouldn’t change my uni experience for the world, the facilities are amazing too!
An amazing university where you feel right at home! Staff are lovely and the buildings are modern. I have had a lovely 3 years here!
Simply amazing, I don’t know what else to say, the ratings say it all
Great uni, nice environment and nice people,
The university has provided me with really good friends and life experiences.
Partly to blame on me not focusing on my studies however when I resat some assignments I didn't find out if I had actually passed until mid September by which time I had actually been sent a timetable for the full year and was recieving emails from lectures about field studies and reading lists which prompted me that I had passed and had moved into a flat and signed a 10 month lease. Turns out I hadn't passed and so I either had to re-enroll and retake the year or drop out. After a mental debate I decided I didn't want to be part of an institution that didn't help it's students, due to me dropping out I had no student finance backing and had to try find someone to take on my flat lease, which the uni wouldn't help with whatsoever. In the end I've ended up having to set up a payment plan and have been paying off the debt monthly due to a mistake on my behalf of not studying and the amazing admin skills of the Sheffield Hallam University faculty.
The student union is in a poor location and no reason to go there
Good uni with good facilities and happy with the course leaders
Great uni overall, just with there were more societies. Although you can set up your own
I’ve not yet found a single fault with Sheffield Hallam and I Have loved every minute of my time here. My bank account thinks otherwise
