The facilities provided by the school for students are diverse and intelligent. Diamond and West Bank libraries provided places for me to study quietly. The student union and teachers are very concerned about our mental and physical health and provide help for our employment.

Thank you for sharing your positive experience of our accommodation here at The University of Sheffield. As an alumni of The University of Sheffield, I also had an amazing experience living in the university's accommodation.

Also, Sheffield has recently come out as one of the most affordable cities to live in in the UK in terms of its average rent costs. Best wishes, Lydia
Great uni for engineering, lots of good professors and career opportunities. Summer programs like SURF and SURE.

Old building no place for fun
Hi, I'm sorry to hear your experience so far has not been the best. UoS aims to provide its students with the best experinece possible and the Student Union has been exceptionally well at maintaining its top spot as the best SU in UK. I have provided a link to city and SU tours that might be useful and could provide a bit of help and suggestion on fun things available at Sheffield. Take a virtual tour | Visit | The University of Sheffield Regards.
The front desk service is great but the elevator always breaks down
Hi there, I am glad to hear your overall experince at the University of Sheffield has been positive. However, I am sorry to hear about the inconvenience of the faulty elevator. I hope our staff have been on hand to help out during these times. Best wishes, Lydia

Thank you for such a postive review! It is great to hear you are enjoying your student expeirence! Best wishes, Hannah :)
A lot of clubs and societies. However some are quite expensive if you just join for the social team once a week
Thank you for this review. The University of Sheffield does offer a vast array of clubs and societies (over 350!). However, you are right, some of them do come at quite a cost. I do encourage you to explore the Give it a Go's that are on offer. These are free, and it's a great way of trying a club/activity out before committing to the membership fees. If you are still sturggling with finances, I encourage you to look on the government's student finance page, to see if you are able to recieve any further support (such as Hardship fund) on top of your maintenance loan. Also, there are various financial support schemes to explore through the University of Sheffield itself, such as Access +. I would just like to conclude, that the cost of these societies are well worth it - as you may well end up making friends for life through them, just like I did! Lydia
The reception staff were very nice, the apartment was clean and comfortable to live in!
Hi there, thank you for your lovely review! I'm glad to hear the positive things you have to say about Sheffield :) Best of luck with your future endeavours, Sophie

Best students union in the country
Thank you for your review, good luck for the future! Sophie
Poor quality tutoring, poor mental health services, striking and absent minded staff have dogged my experience and I would not recommend wasting tens of thousands of pounds on what is essentially an open university style qualification
Thank you for your review. I am sorry to hear you had a negative experience at the University. If you are a current student please refer to this link https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/departments/student-support-services for information on the support available. Currently throughout the country, certain university staff are striking to fight for better working conditions and I'm sorry that this has impacted your experience. I hope you find this information useful. Best wishes, Sophie.
Very good uni with good facilities and infrastructure
Not starting studying yet. will provide review again after 3 to 6 months studies
Learned a lot! I’m glad to study here in 2023
Hope you have a lovely time at UoS and Good Luck with your studies. Regards, Alishba :)
Had a wonderful time on campus with no lack of comfortable study spaces and friendly staff and students all over the campus.
Thank you for taking the time out to leave a 5* review, we are pleased to hear you had a nice experience at UoS. UoS aims to provide a comfortable and friendly environment for all, be it students, staff or visitors. So it is wonderful to see that the aims are being met. I hope your studies are going well (If you have graduated then Congratualations) and wish you all the best for your desired career. Regards, Alishba :)
Every tutor at the university is very strict with the course, but sometimes there will be strikes, but the tutors who need to strike will still inform in advance, in any case, I am still very good for this study abroad experience, especially my graduation thesis supervisor is very nice.
A beautiful and happiness city with a famous University — the university of Sheffield. Love it!
nice accommodation and friendly staffs
Hi there - thank you for leaving a positive review for the University of Sheffield. I am glad to hear you had a positive experience of our University's accommodation.

Best wishes for the future, and I hope you continue to have a positive experience at the University of Sheffield - just like me! Thank you, Lydia
Great Uni, could benefit from a few more facilities, updated gym, more sports space. But, nice location, nice buldings, my department (SEAS) very helpful and kind.
Facility and course are very good
Very good! The staff are very friendly!
Love this university! Best three years
good university, learned so much
One more year to go, let’s see some improvement in the coming year.
Good university but the colleges are very far :(
Excellent University which provides great value addition and leverage to sprint ahead in your career
I loved it in the evaluated senses, I only have suggestions for improvement on the teaching and evaluation system.

It has been a wonderful experience studying in university of Sheffield
Love how it is so international here. I got to meet lots of different people which was amazing.
Great Student Union (multiple award winning), interesting city, mix of old and new uni buildings, good cafes with meal deals for £5. Coffee is expensive though. Two libraries, plus medical library with an interesting range of books. Lots of support for students' mental and physical health and emotional support provided via wellbeing teams in each department as well as student NHS and Residence Life Mentors at halls. Personal Tutor system works well and mentoring available for first years. Interesting, flexible courses, but not much space for teaching in the arts department. Lots of lessons taught in Physics or Journalism block. Lots of provision for engineering and medicine though.
Niceeeeeeeeeeereeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Best uni in terms of education quality, they care a lot about the mental health of students
It has the best student union in the UK. It has best social hub.
really high study pressure to the ACSE in master
Overall it is good. But for some Chinese students the we ranking is not quite friendly these years.
Hope there is clearer instructions of copying near the printer. Especially when someone need to print two sides of a document on one side of the paper. Also it's a bit inconvenient that you can only top up the printing account under the school internet.
I love this university. Easy to navigate and to get help. Support is amazing within the university
I had a good experience at the Engineering School at Sheffield University. There are experienced professors, helpful teaching assistants and friendly students. In addition, the University of Sheffield library is also very distinctive.
Thank you for leaving such a positive review! It's great to hear that you have enjoyed your time studying engineering at the University of Sheffield! Meg
Overall good and insightful experience
I like my school very much, I think our school has good educational resources and I have learned a lot here
Very nice city and very nice university, people here are very friendly. The life style here is very chill.
Thank you for leaving such a great review! Meg
The school has excellent facilities and a great academic atmosphere
一般 很一般 今年qs排名跌了就不太好 不利于国内就业啥的 哎。。。。。。。
Just as I thought this university can provide what I need and the course setting are really satisfying.
its a good accommodation to live
I have a great experience in Bailey Fields, they are trying to provide you everything you need when you living here. If you are new student in UK, the apartment could be a good choice for you.
学校非常好 地理位置好 设施也挺好的 有什么问题可以问老师 也会推出一些活动
The staff and tutors are very friendly. The environment is very good.
Sheffield school of architecture offers simply the best university experience. City itself is quite dull, however
Good facilities and perfect study environment!
Although I experienced some psychological obstacles, I was fortunate that my teachers gave me a lot of help.
I veryyyyy love this place, I'm very happy
