Sheffield

Sheffield is an excellent city for nights out with almost every kind of music you could imagine playing at some point throughout the week somewhere in the city ( though you do have to look harder for edgier/ quirky venues) The restaurant scene is massively diverse and has a good range of places to choose from. There isn't as many solely vegan or vegetarian places as one would hope but almost everywhere has a decent few options for vegans/ vegetarians. There are plenty of high street fashion brands and more interesting hipstery shops, as well as the wonderful and more affordable moor market.

Sheffield is a great city for students. It's got everything you need, sprinkled with hipster character and it's easy to get around. Obviously the Peak District is practically on your door step. There are also other parks such as Botanical Gardens which make it the greenest city!! For all the hipsters, Division Street is the place to go. Steam Yard Coffee, Plantology and Mooch Vintage shops are some favourites. There are also some great faith groups in Sheffield. For me, attending Hope City Church was a big highlight of my time at university.

Good night out, good shopping in meadowhall Town centre is a little bare though Easy to navigate with good public transport

Sheffield is a great city to live in for young people leaving home for the first time! It's small enough not to feel overwhelmed, but big enough to have plenty of room to explore! With train links to all the other major cities in the UK, it is beyond easy to venture further afield if you want to. Filled with independent businesses, including bars, cafes and an array of vintage shops.

Sheffield is a diverse city with lots to do - fantastic range of independent restaurants / bars, Meadowhall has a wide range of shops to suit your needs, plus the Peak District is right on your door step!

I personally have not been going to clubbing alot due to the recent stubbings in some clubs, the food is good, i would buy more take aways and go to restaurant if they were more affordable

Sheffield is such a friendly vibrant city, it's great because it's still got all the great elements of a city with the shopping, night life etc however it's still small enough in the city centre to feel comfortable and know your way round. Really loved living here so far!

Sheffield town centre has great food and shopping areas, there's something for everyone but then there's also lots of countryside/parks for when you want a nice chill in summer! The Moore market is interesting to go and visit, there is also a huge shopping mall called Meadowhall where there's a cinema, restaurants and an amazing student lock in once a year!

I decided to go to university in Sheffield due to its charm "steel city" the mix of industrial and modern is really intriguing to me. Also another pull factor is the vintage shops along west street and Meadowhall not to far on the tram so lots of options for shopping. The nightlife has lots to offer and is varied whilst being reasonably cheap so there is something to please everyone However , the city is pretty small and sometimes I struggle to find things to do.

Sheffield is such a good 'party' and 'lively' city from the great night outs to the food and shopping centres. There's everything and more you need in Sheffield from things to do on rainy days to sunny days. Things from getting over a break up to dates.

Lots of places to eat and drink in close proximity. Good for shopping. Lovely Christmas market with pop up bars. Sometimes can be poor for parking but great bus access and public transport, also easy to catch a taxi.

My experience of Sheffield up untill now has been absolutely fantastic. The city is small enough that you can travel around and big enough so that you don't run out of places to go and things to see. Although being up north it has a diverse range of ethinicity which allow students to become more multicultural and adapt to new kinds of people who they may be less familiar being around. There are a variety of bars and clubs which cater to all types of people with their individual preferences to nights out and music. There are a wide variety of restaurants both in city centre, Meadowhall and Centertainment however does lack quality Indian restaurants, although you do get value for money for what you eat compared to London prices for example. With continuously growing student accomidatins, Sheffield's student life is getting bigger and has more things to do.

I love living in Sheffield because everything you need is here but everywhere you can get to by walking. There are loads of great pubs and restaurants that are not too expensive. The Moore market is great if you want to find a bargain and there are all the usual high street shops. I also love going to the Light cinema, its modern and comfy and the prices are better than vue or cine world plus it is right in the centre of town. Only negative of Sheffield is that some areas are a bit run down but lots of building is going on so hopefully will be nicer in a couple of years.

In Sheffield there is loads to do from student bars to Meadowhall shopping. It's easy to get to because it has a bug train station and when you're already there it's easy to get around because it has constantly running trams and buses.

Sheffield is one of the friendliest cities you could possibly find in the UK. It may not always seem like much is going on but if you dig beneath the surface a little bit you can always find something new and exciting to dig your teeth into.

Great city - there's a good reason why most students stick around after they graduate! Plenty of things to do - busy nightlife and very good value for money. Be prepared for lots of hill climbing...

Great nights out in west street and in the SU, good shops, especially if you are willing to go out to Meadowhall, lots to do, and the peaks is just a cheap (£1.20) bus ride away for a good weekend of walking, and great cheap pints!

Lots of choice in regards to food and clubs, shopping is great in Sheffield but also with the added option of going to Meadowhall which has more, only 6 minutes away on the train. Great student city!

Sheffield is a great place to explore and I just just mean all it's wonderful greenery, considering it's one of Europe's greenest cities, the shops, the awesome art galleries etc but also all the other cultures it has to offer. The city is rich in a diverse range of cultures and helps you to get unloved in that, for instance, a trip to More Market will open your mind to new food and new culture. Not to mention the wonderful people of Sheffield, everyone I have spoken to about how to get somewhere, where is the right bus stop, how I work the teams etc has always been super happy to help. As well as that, they are very appreciative of students and how they can be an asset to the local community, for example there are so many volunteering projects to get involved in like visiting old people's home, fundraisers, primary schools etc. Overall, Sheffield isn't just a great place to be, it's a great place to be a person during a period of our lives that revolves around discovery.

There's a lot more going on in Sheffield that .people realise, with a quality night out. However, for the size it is, there isn't really that much variety of things to do, other than eating and drinking.

Variety of restaurants in town and ecclesall road. Italian, american, mexican, chinese, japanese, thai, indian cuisine Lots of pub/bars, drinks reasonable prices

Sheffield is a gorgeous place to live and has alot going on if you know what you're looking for and where to look for it. Durinf the day there are loads of places to eat out and although the shops arent the biggest you can always get the tram out to meadowhall which they make very easy because it goes directly there. As for nightlife there is everything from cheesy bars to decent event locations, and all genres of music.

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.

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.
