Sheffield is a great place to study, West street is the place to go pubs and bars for students while clubs in city are mostly populated by students

Very vibrant nightlife, excellent recreational facilities, a lot of green area, and plenty of nice pubs. Shopping options somewhat limited.

I'm coming to my final year and I have loved every second in Sheffield. It is easily became a home away from home (I moved here so I had to love it one way or another). Coming from the capital, I realised that Sheffield is a smaller, greener London. Good for shopping, both Meadowhall and Crystal Peaks have everything you want and then some. The night life is decent, can easily have a good night with £15 and still have enough for a cab home and a pizza! I've loved every second here, and wouldn't mind moving up here permanently.

Great nightlife with loads of clubs that are suited to everyone’s music taste. Thousands of different restaurants in every cuisine, with ranging price points. Many modern shops all around the centre of Sheffield with again ranging prices. Meadowhall not far for shopping. Few nearby cinemas.

Good for nightlife but not much in terms of shopping due to meadowhall. However they are starting to improve it with things such as the light.

Sheffield has an array of things to do within the city. As a University student, I feel I have everything on my doorstep; from the best nights out to a simple dessert shop or salon to wind down. All the major shops etc., are a simple five minute walk from me, so public transport is not vital, but I do know it is very cheap and frequent. We also have Meadowhall – which consists of more shops and food places if you want to venture out slightly.

I really think Sheffield is a great university city! I commute everyday on the buses and trams and they are so quick, reliable and clean (a rare find on public transport!) that I honestly don't mind it. In terms of shopping theres the city centre and Meadowhall Shopping Centre which are both pretty good value for money and incorporate chain and independent shops so you've got the best of everything (one of the more popular independent shops amongst students is Cow, on West Street, which sells super nice clothes). Food wise, wetherspoons are a must, you cannot come to the north without having a spoons at least once a month (they're great money-wise!). Nights out are the same, theres a mix of pubs and clubs like University Pub and Corp. The students union has its own basement club too, which I personally think could be better, but it also has a cinema which more than makes up for that! Also, lets not forget that Sheffield (which is a super nice city in itself) has train links to loads of other cities in the UK but is also only like half an hour away from the Peak District so you get the countryside as well.

The location of my accommodation is right in the middle of Sheffield which means it is within 5 mins walking distance from literally anywhere, it’s the best part about living in Sheffield, everything is so close together.

I love living in Sheffield! It's not a huge city like Manchester or Liverpool but I think that can actually be a positive. There's loads to do and there's alsways pop up events going on. It might not seem obvious at first but when you've lived here for a bit and know where to look out for events there's so much you can do. Part of the reason I like it here is the proximity to the Peak District so if you've had enough of the city you can get out there and explore. Also being close to the countryside means I've been able to do really cool things like walk an alpaca! In terms of nightlife there's a wide variety so whatever sort of music you're into there's a place for you. City centre probably doesn't have all the big name shops but there is Meadowhall which you can easily get to for £2 return on the train. And in Sheffield itself there are lots of independent shops with unique products if that's more your thing.
