Sheffield

When I first went to Sheffield, I found that the city was quite hilly. However, I have gotten used to that now! I really enjoy going to the Peak District and getting to know new people - it is amazing.

As a student studying and living in Sheffield, you can often feel like a speck in the huge population of the city that are students themselves. On the other hand, in and around campus, you will see familiar faces everywhere, as the main university itself is incredibly compact. This is good because it means most places you need/want to go are within walking distance, and if not, regular public transport such as the tram and bus are very efficient. In recent years, Sheffield has been inundated by small local businesses starting from the roots up, such as cafes, organic grocers and bakeries. It promotes a feeling of community with every business supporting each other and providing great services to the people of Sheffield. International cuisine is also coming into the fore, especially with the development of places like Cutlery Works and Kommune Food Hall. Meadowhall shopping centre is a 15 minute tram away from the centre and has a plethora of huge shops and activities, such as Valley Centertainment just a bit further down.

Sheffield has lots of hidden gems like Ecclesall Road which has loads of cool independent restaurants on and has a pending Mowgli. Lucky Fox restaurant is the best... so tasty! Also you are very near to the peaks which is good to get out to the countryside.

Great night out in Tank or Corporation. The nightlife is vibrant and always full of fun. No need to worry about going out and not being able to get that pizza, nuggets or burger you were dreaming about as there’s plenty of nice takeaways around. Sheffield has about all the shops you need, if not, pop on the short train ride to Meadowhall and make a day of it!

Tank is an amazing night out, lots of food places to choose from, the foundry and leadmill have good events

Sheffield is a great city, I moved here from Nottingham to go to sheffiel hallam university. I haven’t looked back since. The best thing about sheffield in my eyes is the night life, it’s great. There are plenty of bars and clubs to try and plenty of food places also, this results in plenty of fun drink filled evenings. Additionally there are two championship sided football clubs, this is great if you like football as there is always matches to go and watch. This is entertaining even if you don’t support the sides.

Sheffield has plenty going for it. There's lots to do for a variety of ages. With Meadow Hall being near by any shops you can't find are a tram ride away. There's plenty of restraunts to suit the tastes of everyone and many quirky coffee shops to meet with friend or revise in. The university is conveniently places near the town centre. While nights out aren't my thing friends have said there seems to be a good range of clubs and events to get evolved in! Overall, Sheffield may enitially appear abit grey overall it is a fab city.

I think Sheffield is a great place for studying, it doesn't get too hectic, crowded but it does have everything that a city has. It's more like a huge village, people mostly are friendly to you unless when they got drunk. It's quite queit as well sometimes even in city centre. There several places that you can go and chill out, the main thing is Sheffield is surrounded by greeneries, if you are a person who really like nature, thia city definitely will suit you as it has lots of greeneries and the famous peak district is just nearby the city! Overall, it's a good city for studying.

Amazing sites to see and advanced nights out, friendly people in all bars and restaurants and an easy place to get around. Was an overall excellent experience.

Great for nights out and value for money. Plenty of bars and clubs! Shopping is good but very spread across the centre. Could be improved with more things to do.

Great city for students, West Street is full of bars, plenty of clubs in the city centre, and the uni of students Union hosts club nights at least 3 times a week. Good value for money in terms of living costs, good shopping opportunities in the city centre, meadowhall, and on ecclesall road.

Sheffield is a compact city. You can find each and every thing within your reach. Sometimes you don't have to take transport as all locations can be accessed by foot. The transport of the city is great. A lot of busses and tram which goes to many places. You can also find variety of food in every corner of the city such as west street, London road, Ecclesall road etc. Overall good place to live.

Nights out are pretty good, best place to go is usually Corporation for cheap triple vodkas. Loads of places for shopping - Fargate, The Moor, Meadowhall. Sheffield's very "hipster" so lots of interesting independent shops and cafes though they do tend to be a bit expensive. There is an issue with homelessness, use of "spice" and knife crime currently but usually feel very safe as these people tend to stick together and avoid people not involved

Sheffield city is a student city since it is quite and cozy. It has many restaurants and variety of halal food since I'm muslim. It has many regions and the people are nice. It is in the center of England so you're one hour away from many good cities. Sheffield has many vintage shops and many street art so it's beautiful. Its university is one of the biggest universities in the UK

Sheffield is a big city with many things to do (as long as you know places). I tend to spend my time in local cafes, especially one called Howst. Sheffield also has nice parks that I like to walk through for some relaxation.

Great student city as not too big, yet has everything need, a good city and cheap to live. Good night's out, bars, clubs, restaurants. A lot of diversity and can get around easily as small so don't need to rely too much on public transport or a car. But if you do need to use the bus, only a £1.20 for a student.

There are a range of activities to get involved in and a wide range of places to have an enjoyable night out from a nice meal to a night in the town. There are different places to go shopping, with easy access to transport to get around the city.

Sheffield is great for students who want to experience city life without being overwhelmed by the bright lights. No matter who you are, Sheffield has a night out for you. If you want to dress up for a more classy night there's plenty of cocktail bars and clubs on server street such as Crystal and Viper rooms. If you you're into alternate music then look no further than the infamous Corp, which has 4 rooms of different tunes to keep you entertained all night. There are endless options for shopping with the city centre and two shopping centres which are easily accessible on the tram. This is great for those who are always on the lookout for a new outfit. With 3 cinemas and countless music venues you'll never be bored in Sheffield. Also, if you and your friends are up for a challenge then head to Escape Rooms and see if you can beat the clock. It's great fun and a good excuse to get together. Furthermore, just a short bus ride away is the peak district which is home to some incredible views. So get your hiking boots on and explore what Sheffield has to offer. Sheffield has great value for money. It is a city so there are some places that are a bit pricey but compared to the bigger cities in the UK you can't go far wrong in Sheffield.

Sheffield is somewhat a student filled city. With more than sixty thousand students from the residing two universities it can be a bustling metropolis during term time. This also adds a lot of opportunities to find diverse food and drink options along with a crazy night life. The City Centre is full of market for shopping where one can find anything that a UK city market would have. It's also not too far from the shopping mallsz one such bring Meadowhall right in the middle of Doncaster and Sheffield. It isn't hard to find outlets that are value for money, many close to the universities or the alleyways around them.

Sheffield has a variety to offer from a fabulous night out in our city centre to all the entertainment and good facilities all over that we have to offer!

Sheffield is a great student city, it's quite close together and there are lots of things on offer.

Sheffield Town Centre is fab! Great facilities available, such as clubs, pubs, libraries if wanting to study, and loads of accomadation if your a uni student. Loved my time here so far!

I have been living in Sheffield for 8years now ,and I love it here despite the day to day incidents I think this city is a pretty good one ,in terms of shopping which you have loads to go too and recieve good customer services, also I enjoy the museums and good cinema deals. Although in terms of buses ,the only think that should be improved is busses arriving late or not come at all.

Sheffield is a lovely, small city full of very friendly people. It's not too busy, but it's not quiet either, at least it's not when students are here. When students go home, the city centre is rather quiet and can be quite boring. However, most of the time it is a lively place with lots of events on, whether this be art workshops, exhibitions at museums, events held in the park, restaurants and cafes, bars, pubs and clubs, or tramlines festival ! The shopping precinct is a bit lacked, but Meadowhall, a huge shopping centre, is only a train / tram ride away. Sheffield also has little independent shops to visit, which is always nice as they sell homemade or vintage items. It could do with more entertainment in the form of bowling, adult crazy golf, etc. But it does have a cinema in the centre and a complex called centertainment again just a train / tram ride away
