Students union seems a bit pointless, also can be quite hard to find the rooms and the lifts in Owen are super annoying
Our students union is ran for the students by the students - you can get in touch with them directly with any issues you may have. It can take some time to find your way around our city campus.
Amazing, loving my stay at elements

there are so many opportunities for so many incredible things! the common room is such a cool way to socialise with people from different blocks and courses that you wouldn’t normally see. the benches in the courtyard have been used so regularly just for people socialising before going out to clubs or even to meet up to walk to uni

Great to hear about your experience. Our libraries and resources are open 24 hours, all year round, I am pleased to hear you've been finding the resources useful.
SHU is an uncoordinated mess with no respect for it's students or education. In my final year my dissertation supervisor told me to make up data, also my course leader was supposed to be a temp.
Loved my time at Hallam. I'm now staying on to do a Masters I enjoyed my time there so much!
Thank you for your time to leave a review, we are pleased to hear that you loved your time here at Hallam. Best of luck with your Masters! - Arzu

Good school and amazing facilities
Thank you for your time to leave a review, we appreciate your feedback! - Arzu
Worked well online this year and provided great opportunities towards the end of the year to meet others due to covid having a huge impact.
Thank you for your time to leave a review, we appreciate your feedback! - Arzu
because of covid i didnt get the best experience but i enjoyed what i could and was grateful to have met each member of staff i got to know

We also have on-going support for our students too. I am glad that you enjoyed the experience you did have even if it was different to what was expected. - Stacey
This course started off really well until lockdown hit and every went down hill. My placement experience in third year was the worst experience I’ve ever had in my life. I do not wish it on my worst enemy. While Hallam has offered me an additional placement, this means my graduation is delayed. I can’t say I received much support from the tutors when I raised my concerns. I found the year leader in third year to be unsupportive and rude. If I could turn the clock back to 2018, I’d never apply for this course at Sheffield Hallam. Student satisfaction isn’t their priority; staying in schools good books is so that they can bag as many placements as possible for students while disregarding the disgraceful experience some students might experience at certain they allocate trainees to
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are really sorry to hear you have not enjoyed your experience at the University due to the pandemic, but it has been a difficult year for everyone. We know Covid-19 has affected a lot of placements and the way our students engage with our facilities. Here at Hallam, our focus has been on ensuring our students and staff are kept safe during these challenging times. If you're still having problems or are sturggling, please speak to one of your advisors or contact Hallam Help. Best of luck in the future! - Arzu

Haven't been in much and they are refurbing the inside hall. I think they are not very organised
Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that you haven't had a chance to be on campus much due to the pandemic. We take the wellbeing and safety of our staff and students very seriously with an aim to ensure our campus continues to be fit for purpose, sustainable and equipped for future needs, hence we started refurbishing the one of the main central spaces of the University. Although we do our best to minimise any impact, the project inevitably causes some disruption. So, please read our blog on How to get around City Campus during the works before you plan to return on campus. Many thanks - Arzu
I'm in my second year at hallam and I can say that it was the right choice
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, we really appreciate your feedback. - Arzu
The university is in the city centre which makes it great to access and get around. The campus is spread out across the city however which can make it difficult if you have a lesson in a different building straight after another.
Thank you for your review. Our city campus is located right in the heart of the city indeed. You can check out our helpful guidance on directions to our campus buildings, how to get between our campuses, travel information and how to navigate our room numbering system. We also have an interactive panorama, where you can discover Sheffield Hallam's campus spaces and key buildings ahead of your classes (scroll down for even more tours and maps to help you explore). I hope this helps. - Arzu :)

I didn't use much of the service, so I cannot make a score at those with three star. Literally, the management of course structure still needed to be improved. The administration team response slow, which I understand in this Covid situation. However, several time the team spell my other classmate name wrongly and leading her suffered to open bank account and even access to blackboard site during the first month of studying. It was such a horrible experience.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are sorry to hear you have not enjoyed your experience. If you're still having problems or are sturggling, please speak to your course leader or contact Hallam Help. - Arzu
