Amazing!

I am really enjoying my course and everyone I've met through the university. The accommodation here is one of the most affordable in cities but by far the nicest I have seen. I adore my flatmates and we've had many good nights out together in Sheffield.

Very fun, relaxed, lots to do and a great city Standard accommodation for students, nothing special but also nothing inherently wrong with it Really good, just had a new psychology department built so brilliant for me Great facilities, knowledgable staff Amazing - a really great city which was large but felt really small and like a nice community. Lots of places to go

Sheffield itself was a great city to go to university, it is a perfect size. Hallam university itself always gave me the support I needed to settle in quickly and get the grades I wanted. Once graduation came, I was well prepared to begin my career!

Staff at Sheffield hallam made my first week ar University very welcoming. This was the first time being so far away from home but I instantly felt the sense of unity between my fellow students. I loved my accommodation. Security was great and my flatmates were my family. The library was where I spent most of my time. With 6 floors, there was plenty of computers and study areas. Security was also great and after a certain time only students were allowed in. The tutors were great. They would offer help where needed and I was able to book 1 to 1 meetings with them if I needed extra support. Sheffield is a great city. It became my second home. I attended football matches at Sheffield United and lived 5 minutes away from the ground. The nightlife was equally as great. I miss it so much!

Very good

Small class sizes ensure that you receive personalized support on various levels, including weekly meetings with your academic advisor and the option to meet with a careers advisor whenever needed. The curriculum emphasizes practical skills and career development, with weekly lab sessions and a module dedicated to enhancing employability skills. Additionally, accommodation costs are very affordable.

Freshers week was super fun! The uni side of it was interesting and there was lots of activities etc. designed to ensue us into uni life and meet new people. There were also loads of fun nights out which were well organised and great for meeting new people! I lived in exchange works halls, it was extremely clean and well organised with 24 hour security and key card only access. I always felt safe and the walls are also pretty sound proof for uni halls! Overall it was great, the kitchen was a good size with plenty of storage. The library is great and there are 2 different ones, they are huge and bookable so always a space. Classrooms are also great and very facilitated. As for sports this isn't something i have participated in but i know there are loads of society's and varsity is good fun! On my course the lecturers always try to make it fun and interesting. There is a lot of choices with what to focus assignments on so can choose something that interests you. My tutors all communicate really well via email and offer a lot of support. Sheffield is a fun city for students, with two universities it is a very young people based town! There is lots to do and loads of bars etc. But as cities go it is a smaller one, although i liked this as it didn't feel quite so overwhelming but still offers everything you need!

Review of my course and accommodation

(5)·By Melissa D·Law· Jun 2024
The quality of my course is really good because of how it is structured, allowing us students to balance life and education. My accommodation is also very good, with reasonable pricing that is not too expensive but still of high quality.

It was amazing, had lots of time to do everything I wanted to while also getting to know the course through an introduction week I looked at most Accommodations around Sheffield and liked all of them it was a really hard decision to pick the one I wanted but when I had decided I really enjoyed my entire there The facilities at Hallam are amazing I love that the library is 24 hours and the student union is always buzzing, I couldn't enjoy it more if I tried My lecturers were always there to give a helping hand and I completely adored the course as it covered everything that I liked in A-level. Not only this but I felt as if my lecturers wanted for me to enjoy the course as much as they did I hadn't been to Sheffield that much before moving there but all the times I had I fell in love with it this made me want to move to Sheffield as I love the nightlife the Peak District being close by and also the sense of community even though it's a big city.

Freshers week was an excellent way to start my three years at university. The university put on plenty of evening to help you make friends from your course/halls. The accommodation was varied in price, style and location. Depending on the campus, you were able to pick the location. I lived at the Forge which I loved! The facilities were top drawer! The library bigger than I've ever seen, cafes all over, a good little SU and right next to the city centre. I like my course for the variety of lecturers. The variety of modules meant that I had access to plenty of support. This was one of the main reasons why I enjoyed my time! City life was what I needed, busy, bright and populated. I liked that I could get a train easily to anywhere else to see my friends but I could also stay and have plenty to do.
