Overall score

Sheffield is awesome - the halls are fit and theres flats of like 3 up to flats of 10 so loads of variation depending what you'd like, and loads of locations but all really close to main campus.

The Union is amazing with like 5 club nights a week and a few monthly stuff with really good societies and its all cheap and cheerful.

The Uni itself is a) much better than Hallam so you can rub that in their face, and just well respected so it'spretty cool, I lucked out.

Study experience

Law is alright. its a lot of work and the lecturers won't spoonfeed you but they aren't meant to. They could be better though.

I wouldn't pick law. luckily the rest of Uni is AMAZING its makes up for a poor experience on my course

Overall score

I really love being at uni, my course is perfect for me and I have made great friends with my flatmates and other architecture students. I would definitely recommend both the university and Sheffield as a city, I have friends at Hallam and they enjoy the experience just as much. I would say to people coming that it would be a good idea to research all options and choose the one that suits you best and don't base your whole opinion on one open day, though it would be a good idea to visit beforehand.

Study experience

My course is a lot more creatively based than I first thought, which was a relief as I really enjoy that aspect of design. With the depth of learning and also opportunities for work experience, I think that it points towards a career maybe more than other degrees which is a positive in this economic climate. For academic advice, I would say if you have such a highly coursework based degree don't leave things until the last minute and enjoy your time in the studio.

Facilities

The library is very new and open 24 hours. They have recently changed the computer booking system to make it more user friendly. Each subject building also has its own facilities, which for my course I end up using more. The union is the best in the country and has been for years, and now it is getting a new facade and entrance foyer. Sports clubs and teams are extensive and if there isn't a society for your chosen sport, you can make one.

Postgraduate life

There are many societies, I am a member of my subject society and the art one. At the beginning of term fair they all set up stalls for you to join.

Job prospects

At the moment I hope to stay on for part 2, like a postgrad. I think my course is very focused on the career as it is professionally accredited.

Overall score

When sorting out accommodation for the next academic year, do it as soon as possible, ideally before the christmas break.

Study experience

In you first year you will get little choice over the modules you do, but as you progress through the course each year you will be able to choose modules that cater for your interests. Try to pick modules that are related in subject, as this means that what you learn in one module can inform your study in another, and vice versa

Facilities

The SU is consistently voted best in UK. The faciltites more than enough for my needs

Postgraduate life

There are lots of clubs and socities but I am not a member of any

Job prospects

I'll do a masters
