Living here has been a really good experience. The front desk staff are super nice and always happy to help — it really makes a difference when you’re far from home. Everything’s been smooth, and if anything ever comes up, they sort it pretty quickly. The building feels safe and chill, and overall it’s just a comfy place to live as a student.
Good teaching in subject, nice facilities and good students union
Great SU staff and support, enjoy the campus, but have had trouble with support from some staff!
The university is accomodating towards students with learning disabilities.
good uni and very fun the subjects are okay
I've had a positive experience at the University of Sheffield, I love going into campus, especially my building The Wave. There weren't any societies which appealed to me so that could be improved and diversified. The Student Union is fine, the shops expensive but they're always putting events on and I love the film unit. Career service is alright though I didn't secure a placement year they did help me secure an internship. Internet and Wifi has always been fine.
Very close to university and perfect condition for each room. the best location , close to stores , city centre , and most important west street :)
Good uni - nice people and good students union

Great Uni! Will sureshot recommend to someone who can pay their fees by themselves. Do not take education loan for education here!
lovely place，nice staff！love it
Really good campus, lots of societies and opportunities to try something new with the students union.
Very nice uni. The su has everything you could ever need (shop, cafe, food, social spaces, bar, club, ect) it's got a lovely feel and is nice and new. The uni has tonnes of resources as well as many places you can access computers for free and a massive university library
Good overall, well organised organisation.
Good university overall, and activities are amazing, but I do think I could get some more support from my university during the year abroad, for the amount that I am paying per year
Absolutely amazing, couldn't have justify studying anywhere else.
I have really enjoyed my experience here
The atmosphere here is wonderful.
Great, helpful wellbeing service, good societies, tutors and DLL very helpful

Sheffield is a great university, had a great experience so far in all areas
My experience as a student at the University of Sheffield has been unforgettable. From world-class teaching in modern, well-equipped labs and lecture halls to the constant support from knowledgeable, approachable staff, I felt fully equipped to succeed. Living in Sheffield was just as rewarding—the city is friendly, affordable, and full of character, with welcoming locals and a strong sense of community. I especially loved the diversity on campus: sharing meals, stories, and cultures with people from all over the world gave me a true global perspective. It wasn’t just a degree—it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to grow in every way.
The University of Sheffield is good.
Good university overall but have had some unique (good and bad) experiences with my department
Campus has lots of buildings; a good selection of places to study from silent study spaces to cafes. The SU is great. It has loads of shops and cafes / places to buy food and drink. It has has its own club and club night. They hold loads of events there which is great and i know all students love it. Eduroam wifi is pretty good. It's never failed me while at uni.
It is an amazing experience in the university, being able to meet new and exciting people, participate in challenging activities while also doing everything I need to excel in academics
Love everything about this university.
As far as I know they have a debt of 50 million pounds or dollars.So I expect it to go worse in time
I have had the best experience at Sheffield! I am from Leeds which has an amazing student union and being so familiar with it I didn’t know what to expect but it is genuinely so amazing.
My experience at the University of Sheffield has been incredibly rewarding, both academically and personally. I’ve benefited from excellent teaching, state-of-the-art facilities, and a supportive learning environment that encourages growth and curiosity. The campus is vibrant and inclusive, with a diverse community where I’ve met people from all backgrounds and made lasting friendships. Being involved in societies and activities through the Students’ Union has helped me develop new skills and feel truly connected to university life. I also appreciate the university’s commitment to social inclusion and career development, which has given me confidence in my future prospects. Overall, studying at Sheffield has helped me grow as a person and has made my university journey both enjoyable and memorable.
Everything great here. Lots of friendly people and they practicing inclusivity here so no one feels left out.
Overall a very good accommondation with great campus facilities and loads of different sports club to join
would not complain about anything!
The university is quite nice. The campus has a lot study rooms that are comfortable and prjvate to study in.
Has the number 1 su and you can see why. Always something to do
Studying at the University of Sheffield has been an amazing experience - great facilities, a vibrant Students’ Union, helpful career support, and plenty of clubs to get involved in. Only minor issue was the occasional slowness in Wi-Fi within some lecture theatres.
This school is outstanding! Excellent teachers, modern facilities, and a supportive environment. Students thrive academically and socially. Highly recommended for quality education and personal growth!
best university in terms of student support. The university is always a place where students can have conversation on myriad of topics such as university fee, diversity, student support, careers. The facilities is top notch to support students' learning aspirations.
Good experience at the Sheffield
The uni is good and my accomodation is quite close to all of my classes
Living in Steelworks has been a great experience for me, mainly because of its location, my room, the common areas, and the gym. The regular events organised for residents are also a big plus—they make the place even more enjoyable, and many people from other accommodations who visit end up really liking it too. Having seen other accommodations myself, I can confidently say I would strongly recommend Steelworks. One of the things that stands out the most is the quality of the water-related facilities—like the bathroom and kitchen—which I think are much better than in other places.
EDU roam are almost up all the time, but celluar network would be unreachable in many indoor place. Supportive professors in general, it require an annoying check-in process which make you install iSheffield, and it would require GPS and bluetooth service in-order for you to successfully check in. The campus is kinda big , and it is very frustrating when you get to the WAVE as even the main road, is not that broad,often jamming at peak hours. laptop lending is only limited for the use IN the wave so if you need to get to another building for a lecture with the lended laptop it would break the rule....... The catering near the wave would be a problem so it would be the best if you get ur lunch when you have a row of lectures from 9am to 5pm
Budget cuts are horrendous. Good courses have been cut. Resources are lopsided towards engineering, while there is even an adequate job market for engineers in the city. The Uni does not care about the cost of living crisis - they couldn't even bother to risk assessing microwaves and kettles for students. The catering tastes like crap and costs 4 times more than Greggs.
Studying at the University of Sheffield for my Master’s in Finance and Accounting has been a highly rewarding experience. The course offers a strong academic foundation with practical insights into financial management, auditing, and global accounting standards. The lecturers are supportive, knowledgeable, and bring real-world experience into the classroom. The university provides excellent facilities, diverse learning resources, and a vibrant student community. I particularly appreciate the focus on employability and career development. Being part of such a prestigious and research-driven institution has enhanced both my skills and confidence, preparing me well for a successful career in the finance industry. The multicultural environment has broadened my perspective, and the balance between theory and practice has helped me develop both technical and soft skills.
There aren’t any societies within the accommodation but it does make up for it with the great wifi and facilities
Excellent place to study. Friendly lecturers
Students union is amazing. Really nice.
Great place! The staff is very friendly :))
Great university in a hreat city. With lots going on
The university is excellent, especially the career fairs, programs, and events organized by the student union are fun and indulging.
Affordable accomodation that has good amenitites and is close to university buildings.
Great facilities Lovely societies
To great experience at university, the services are good for example help and study.
Great University with very good facilities. Many social opportunities and very high quality accommodation. Good location within the city and all buildings are well maintained.
Amazing uni and very supportive. Structured departments and dedicated mentors always happy to help with both academic and personal questions. Great work life balance and an amazing city to live
The university buildings provide pretty much everything you could need and a bit more. Even in my final year of study I hear about more facilities that I didn’t realise the uni had. Pretty much every society you can think of and it’s easy to start a new one for something missing. Everyone is always super friendly at society gatherings across the range of societies. There are multiple careers services. The STEM subjects have careers lectures built in to their courses and the humanities can arrange meetings to discuss careers with the humanities advisors. The wifi is good most of the time. There are occasional problems but there are IT people in various buildings around campus to help out.
We are paying so much money to our education but when we want to buy something for my project, staffs do not let us if it is not being in the their site.
Really glad to have come here for university.
The campus infrastructure and overall experience at Sheffield were excellent.
Great place with amazing social spaces.

stayed at this student accommodation for one academic year, and overall, it was a positive experience. The location is very convenient, with easy access to the university and local amenities like grocery stores and public transport. The rooms are well-furnished and provide a good balance of privacy and social space.
Love it here. The city is lovely
A overall very good and unique university
Good city nice people happy place
Uni of Sheffield is a very fun environment to both study and socialise in, there is something to do for everyone and there is never a shy moment
Excellent. Staffs are friendly
I've been living at Bailey Street Student Accommodation, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. The location is absolutely perfect—it's less than a 5-minute walk to the University of Sheffield, making it super convenient for attending classes. Plus, there are plenty of shops and amenities nearby, which is so helpful for grabbing groceries or enjoying a meal out. One of the standout features of Bailey Street is the cleanliness. The management team and cleaning staff really take pride in maintaining the building, and it shows. The kitchens are cleaned weekly, and the whole building always feels fresh and tidy. I really appreciate how well-managed everything is. Overall, I’ve had an amazing experience here, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, convenient, and well-maintained student accommodation. The team here goes above and beyond to ensure a comfortable living experience.
University overall is pretty good, however food can be a bit pricy. Sometimes inconvenient if you forget your u card and want to use the information commons but you live in Endcliffe etc. I’ve not explored everywhere and I’m not a part of many societies but there is a lot of range and they can be quite fun.
I love it here! Very welcoming and it feels comfortable
One of the best Universities in Uk and the best for me
A wonderful uni and uni experience
Couldn’t describe, it’s like a dream come true UNI!
its good! people have been really nice and the student union is rly open and friendly

公寓非常好很方便 安保也很好 前台有中国小姐姐！上课也非常的方便
Great and the professors are so nice
Love my degree path and department however if budget cuts and changes go as planned so many people could be affected including staff and students. Sheffield needs East Asian Studies!!
The living environment is very clean, the rooms are tidy and the staff is responsible. The upper floors have a good view and are comfortable to live in. The apartment facilities are new and there is no damage.
Everything is decent in terms of facilities but the SU is very unfriendly to international students.
