Sheffield

Trainstation situated close to city centre, many amazing restaurants and little cafés to enjoy around the city centre . The light has a great cinema with a bar and resurants.

Many good shops near in the city centre and a huge shopping centre near by. Also has a lot of good restaurants and pubs. A great place to study!

During the week student nights at clubs and events are cheap. With west street always open to provide the overall experience really. The people of Sheffield are lovely. Always calling you 'Duck' and 'Love' making you feel welcome and appreciated. Located in the middle of the city the old and new high streets, with some local shops too. These are always bustling but good vibes bring enjoyment. Living in the centre of Sheffield there's always somewhere to go and something to do. Be it, a walk through the botanical or peace gardens, grabbing a bite to eat, or a stroll on the moor for some entertainment, a shopping spree or even a bite to eat. Overall, Sheffield is a brilliant city to live your uni life.

Sheffield is a great student city. There's plenty to do without being too overwhelming for students leaving home for the first time. The city has something for everyone, especially in its diverse music scene. As a place to live it's relatively cheap for a city which is ideal for students. It can also appeal to outdoorsy people as the Peak District is not too far from the city. Everything in the city is walking distance or there is good public transport. Sheffield is like centreparcs for students!

Can't imagine living anywhere else. Great nightlife, great people and general vibe. Very safe. Prepare to go up and down hill a lot though!

There is so much to do here , we have 2 shopping malls and a city centre full of shops , the night life is banging and has very cheap drinks , the prime student clubs are Corp or code. There is a restaurant for everyone.

Sheffield is a very friendly city and I feel safe in general when walking around. Everything is very central and easy to get to, although some clubs are a good 30 mins walk across the city, however it's always busy at night so everywhere feels safe. Beautiful cathedral, many gardens and interesting architecture as well.

Sheffield is a great city with loads of things to do and see. There's a huge choice for eating out so everyone can find somewhere they love. Same with nights out, many clubs for anymood. Also if you manage to experience everything Sheffield has to offer then just hop on a train to the Peak District!

it's really good for students and it's really close knit and close a lot to do around the city. so many clubs that have different kinds of music and vibes ect. loads of places to shop from primark from to new look and it's very close to where i am and the shops tend to be close together. so i can get groceries but also clothes ect at the same time

Great nights out at reasonably priced clubs to suit most music tastes. Corp is always good for most people and Leadmill is great all the time if you like indie music and certain nights for other music. Corp pints are legendary. Both also very good gig venues but drinks can be very expensive at these. Skool Disco and Club Tropicana are fantastic club nights. If you're wanting to move around West Street is the place to go, cheap drinks and low to no entry fee, always somewhere open late. Overall good value for money. Town isn't amazing for shops but Meadowhall is close. All the perks of a city without being too big and lots of bus routes into the Peak District for day trips.

For shopping, Sheffield is perfect; it's home to Meadowhall, which puts on a student night every once in a while and is WELL worth going to for savings! Food wise, there's lots to eat in the city centre, and party life isn't too lacking either! There's always someone on at the Arena or the O2 so you'll never be bored, and with the Lyceum and Theatre Library you can see all sorts of interesting things!

In my opinion, overall, Sheffield is a great city for university students. In terms of nightlife, the best place I would recommend is Carver Street. There they have nightclubs like Crystal bar, Paris and Pop world. For any freshers, I would also recommend buying tickets for the 'carver street block party' as it usually ends up being a good night out. Just bear in mind that the clubs normally ends up being rammed with people during freshers, so if a low-key night out is what you like, this event probably won't be for you. As far as 'Things to do' goes, there's obviously Meadowhall, which is probably the most popular destination for food and shopping. I'd recommend taking the train or tram from the city centre for a cheap ticket to get there. The tram also stops at a place called 'Valley Centertainment', which is basically leisure and entertainment complex that has places to eat, bowling, a cinema and mini golf. For general everyday shopping, there's the city centre and The Moor. The Moor also has a market, which sells anything from fruit and veg to African hair products, which has definitely proven beneficial to me. My only critique of Sheffield as a uni student would be that it was a bit difficult for me to get my bearings around the transport side of things i.e. buses, but then again- I guess that's what Uber is for.

Sheffield is a really nice place to go to university. I am at Hallam and really enjoy the course I am doing. There are trams, buses, Ubers and taxis etc so its really easy to get around and yeah... would recommend to people 100%.

It's such a lovely city with lots of nature and trees and lovely lovely people (everyone calls you love or duck). I would reccomend a big £6.50 roast from the red lion right in the city near sheffield Hallam, bit of a walk but worth it if you're hungry. Botanical and winter gardens are a must, and I'm sure there are other amazing parks I've not yet found. Eccleshall road has lots of great places for dinner. Peaks are beautiful and a tiny bus ride away.

I live near the city centre and there is so many restaurants, night clubs and shops nearby. If I wasn't to go further afield I only have to travel 20 minutes from city centre.

great nightlife and a great range of things to do during the day. walking in the peak district is always picturesque

Brilliant city with a great night life. Good city for students and everything feels quite student orientated. Bus and tram system really good too

Sheffield is a great place to study and live. It has fantastic transport links in and about the city especially the tram and for any shopping needs or meals out meadowhall is only a 30 minutes journey away . You always feel safe in Sheffield and there is plenty to do day and night hence why I have given 5 stars .

Excellent place to study. Location of the University and accommodation is in the safest more affluent areas of Sheffield, and only a short walk away from the bars/clubs of West Street and the city centre. The tram you can take from the university takes you straight to one of the biggest shopping centres in the country! North of England is always better value for money too!

The university is in a great location. Central to Sheffield City Centre if you are based at the main campus and just off of Eccy Road (one is the biggest, most student based roads in Sheffield) if at collegiate. Sheffield is a very student orientated city with plenty places of interest and many cool bars and resteraunts to add to your to do list whilst here!

The city is incredible! So much to do and experience for cheap prices! Night outs occur every night with a student night appearing at every club with often £1 drinks! The food has many places to eat if you’re looking for something on your door step one eccessal road or more into the city centre but if you’re wanting to venture out and do some shopping as well there are many food venues at meadow hall. With the peaks on your doorstep too there are several things to do and boredom is never a thing! Hop on a bus for a student rate and head over to the peaks to explore the country side. Or, if the city is more your thing then the city centre has amazing things to do with even Leeds a train ride away costing no more than £5!

Very good night life, and great for food and shopping, uni/ college are in great locations, very central to everything in Sheffield, easy to access everything you would need. Also very good public transport, trams are regular and on time, there are always loads of things to do and events happening in the city centre, and it is great value for money.

The great thing about Sheffield is that it is a major city and therefore you have access to all things such as night life, good food and social events that you can find in London, but for half the price! It’s so cheap here I don’t think I could live anywhere else

I’ve had to pick Sheffield as the town I actually live in is not on here :(. But Sheffield is a decent place and has a good nightlife but tends to be quite expensive which is what you expect from a city. It is quite young a city as there are a lot of students around from the 2 universities. Some great places to eat like cosmos which is an all you can eat buffet and it is soooo good!
