Best acom ever, good staff quick service and clean rooms
Good uni, located in a nice part of town
My experience at the University of Sheffield has been really positive overall. The campus is good, there are loads of clubs and societies to get involved in, and the Students’ Union runs regular events. The careers service is also helpful, especially for placements and future opportunities, though the wifi can be a bit unreliable at times.
Very good university that has a really good international community
Great uni. Staff are really helpful and friendly. Great SU with loads of activities and events.
Uos has an amazing campus and so many amazing societies

It's an excellent university both academically and socially. It works towards building community as well as having excellent academic standards.

There is a plethora of of places to study, may it be a silent space, a social space, a space with computers, or places you book to ensure a space(usually important during exam season). There is a wide range of societies that tend to be fun and very skilled at what they do. the student union is incredble, with lots of events, a shop, places to eat, a cafe, a bar, and a club. I have never used the careeres service but they inform you of lots of inturnships, placments etc. The internet is ok most of the time.
It would be better if there were more places to refill water in each building.
As a first year student i have found it so easy to socialize and adjust to the university
great uni - loving it here so much, love foundry nights out! roar and poptarts especially!!!
really good wifi again and all events are good
St Vincent’s place has been good accommodation so far for me, I like it and it feels comfortable as it is always near my lecture area ☺️☺️
Love the uni, it’s so beautiful and there’s always so much going on
A good university with good facilities.
Good SU, WiFi in all buildings
Great SU with lots of amazing and random societies to join.
eduroam is really rubbish and bad
I've really enjoyed my time here at uni. I love that there are so many clubs and societies. I also love the give it a go sessions . it makes uni so fun. Also i love that every tuesday i get a free postgraduate meal at the university arms . Overall amazing amazing experience.
great experience at the university of sheffield
A wide range of opportunities and support available to all students. A safe and welcoming feel
It's pretty lovely and all the staff and people I've met have been wonderful.
The uni is very pretty and wifi is good
Really lovely uni, everyone is very welcoming. Facilities are all brilliant and modern.
eduroam is notoriously bad but not much the uni can do about that. some of the lecture rooms are a little cramped especially if you’re trying to take notes but i love the student union
Just love this university, everyone should come here
the student union is very good here
Shore court is very cost-effective accomodation in Sheffield. But sometimes internet connection is bad especially night times.
I've had lots of fun exploring and looking around the student union. Always a lot of stuff going on, really exciting.
Clubs are so great and helpful for meeting people as an exchange student. I like all the students union events. Most of the classrooms and buildings are also really nice. Can't really comment on the careers services.
I’ve really enjoyed my time at university so far. The lecturers are knowledgeable and supportive, and they genuinely care about students’ progress. The course content is engaging and encourages critical thinking rather than just memorising information. One of the best parts of university life has been the societies. There’s such a wide variety to choose from, whether you’re into sports, cultural groups, academic interests, or just want to try something new. Societies make it so much easier to meet people outside your course and build real friendships. Being involved in societies has definitely made my university experience more fun, social, and memorable.
Good overall experience good amenities
Really great uni to study at. Many opportunities for you outside of your course, many being free/ very affordable.
Everything is fine, but it could just be improved.
A great university with lots of societies and activities to get involved with in a great city.
Haven’t had a problem. SU app is really good for finding out society/sport events and social media accounts for each society.
Very good social activities avaliable. Have felt very welcomed as an international student
Good experience. Lots of events.
I believe the student facilities are very useful and easily accessible, the student union is large and there is always something going on inside making it interesting and fun whenever you go in. Furthermore it has many different study spaces which can be used for individual or group studies. There are many other studying options throughout the campus in different buildings depending on the vibe you want for your studying. The wifi is better on campus and typically problems with it are sorted quickly.
The Sheffield Student Union is a real highlight - such a lovely place full of helpful people and cool events constantly.
Sheffield is a great uni, it has good facilities and great student life. Very exciting.
Good uni glad to be going here
I haven’t had much experience with the general campus, student union or career service since my course is occupational and off the main campus. the socialites are great and the give it a goes are especially fun. the internet often logs me out / doesn’t work while connected but this isn’t constant.
The campus is lovely and the SU have a lot of things on offer, but I’m not always aware of what is going on. Societies are hard to a manage with a busy uni timetable (engineering).
Great university always available and kind when needed for any help
Great choice of societies and social activity’s
Sheffield has lots of places you can study in. All the libraries are very nice. The student union is also great for activities.
Societies r amazing, always there are a lot things to do. But advertisements of events can be not very good and for some of them it is difficult to know about
great university but building are far away from eaxh other
Student Union is amazing, and the university offers a multitude of study spaces, cafes, libraries etc. Love how the university buildings are spread across the city so I feel like I can explore the city whilst travelling between.
Sheffield offers lots of different opportunities, with the Peak District and city so near to each other you’ll always have something to do. The university has lots of societies that are worth going to, I would highly recommend getting out of your comfort zone and trying new sports/ societies.
Wide range of clubs and societies
In the arts tower they have plug sockets in the floor which can be a trip hazard and so isn’t used frequently. There are also no plug sockets on the window walls (16.03) so most of the room doesn’t have access to any sockets. The university in general is amazing tho and has lots of food, support, club facilities and opportunities.
Great sense of belonging in sheffield, such a pretty place
Compared to my home uni, there's so much stuff to do here and lot of structure to meet people and just feel comfortable at uni
In general is a goos experience, even though i've contacted the Careers service a couple of times but got no answer, the SU is great and the activities too.
Honestly have had the best time at UoS. Everyone is so kind and friendly and the city is great!
Amazing, so good, perfect, never seen better
Great uni, I’ve been enjoying my time so far
There’s lots of spaces to revise and work which are nearby the lecture halls and accommodations in the centre
Never regret choosing to study in the University of Sheffield
I liked this university especially for that a library is open for 24/7. I think this is the perfect place to study.
The atmosphere at Bailey street is warm and inviting due to the management from the staff and the events they hold
I’ve had a very positive experience at Bailey Street Student Accommodation, the location is perfect for students, with everything within walking distance, and the building feels safe and well-maintained. The rooms are modern, clean, and comfortable for both studying and relaxing, and the common areas create a friendly atmosphere without being noisy. The management team is responsive and helpful, making the overall experience smooth and stress-free. I would definitely recommend it to other students looking for a convenient and comfortable place to live.
Very good and welcoming. Very happy.

Medicine course structure is a bit confusing
Good uni I enjoy my time here
I had a wonderful stay at this accommodation. The space was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully maintained, making it feel welcoming from the moment I arrived. Everything I needed was provided, and the atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing. The location was convenient, with easy access to nearby places, yet it still felt quiet and private. Communication was smooth, and the overall experience was stress-free. I truly appreciated the attention to detail and the care taken to ensure guests feel at home. I would happily recommend this place to anyone looking for a pleasant, comfortable, and enjoyable stay.
So far I have had a good experience with this accommodation as staff are extremely helpful and rent is very reasonable given it’s close proximity to the university
The staff are very supportive and helpful
been here 3 years nothing changed
An excellent place to study cannot fault it
Good university with world class facility
Nice campus with lots of events at the SU and lots of sports clubs I can engage in
Nothing to complain about, but the Campus could be more concentrated together
Great room at a decent price in an excellent location. The highlight is the staff, Bowie, Diana and Alex, all of whom are kind, funny and always a big help with anything you might need help with - above all else, they're just great people!
Good university, great course with lots of helpful staff and fun peer activities.
Uni of Sheffield has great facilities and sports clubs! However the wifi is temperamental!
