- The quality of teaching of some of the professors was top notch. I was quite lucky with a few of them.
- Our campus and the facilities provided to us were actually very nice. We had 2 libraries- The diamond and the information commons which were open 24x7 to support us.
- I think I made friends with students of many different countries. The people in our college were really diverse and came from different different countries which I never thought I would make friends from.
Dislikes
- The complaint I had with my course was it somehow lacked industry exposure and practical knowledge which would have made me understand things better. A lot of it focused on theory.
- Rising cost of living expenses in the UK. It still was used to be better when I was there but recently prices of accomodations and grocery stores have shot up massively.
- The weather could be a bummer for alot of people. Here in Sheffield, it rains almost everyday maybe and the weather is always gloomy. I was okay with it at one point but it used to bother a lot to my friends.

- The whole city center in Sheffield was our campus. I wasn’t in one separate area. We had our department buildings all over the city, and that was the best part.
- Our campus had all the facilities. Libraries, sports venues, clubs, bars, food joints, everything.
- Sheffield Varsity was the main festival that happened in our college, which was sports competitions against the other college in the city, Sheffield Hallam University.
- There were tons of societies, and all of them had many events lined up all year. In general, our college had a lot of extracurricular events, be it sports events, club nights, or food festivals as well.

- I used to live in a private university accommodation. It used to be a little better than uni ones and still had the whole community feel.
- My monthly rent was around £700, which included all the facilities in the accommodation and AC, a Smart TV in my room.
- There were no challenges. I looked up on the internet, and this accommodation was very well ranked.
- Prestige Student Living Steel City, Hollis Croft, Cosmos. These were the best accommodations there. My accommodation was a 5-7-minute walk from the campus.
- A lot of indians used to stay in Sheffield-3, Fenton House, because of the affordable pricing.

- The University of Sheffield is a very reputable university and part of the Russel Group, which consists of elite UK universities. It has a very strong alumni network globally.
- Most professors are very highly qualified & knowledgeable.
- There is a lot of support available for students from professors, Teaching Assistants, Personal tutors & student services/students' union. Sheffield SU has been voted the best SU in the UK for many years now.
Dislikes
- There is not a lot of support for International students from career service. Most of their support is limited to tailoring your resume & cover letter which is helpful for graduates. However, for students with prior work experience or International students there should be focused support especially with the challenges of getting skilled worker visa.
- A lot of modules are taught in a year. Hence, teaching can feel a bit rushed. The onus is on you to study regularly & attend your lectures to be in a good position.
- For my course of Information Systems, there should have been more electives from Computer Science department. As a Software Engineer I would have loved that.

- Information Commons is the main library. There are other libraries as well.

- I stayed in university accommodation. I applied through the university website. They are most trustworthy; that's why I chose them. I
- I paid £6,800 for the year. I shared a flat with 6 other students. We had our own rooms & shared a kitchen & bathroom.
- It's easy to get university accommodation.
- Staying in university accommodation was the best decision. I wanted to have a global experience & that's what I got. In my flat, there were 2 Indians, including me, 2 British, 1 German, and 1 Dutch. We were 4 boys & 3 girls. We got along very well & I had no issues.
- Private accommodations are cheaper, and Indian students prefer to stay within Indian groups. My advice would be to go and mix with people from other countries. What is the point of going abroad to study if you don't mix with other people?
- That's why I would recommend staying at university accommodation.
- My accommodation was just a 2-minute walk from the Diamond, where we had most of our classes. I made many friends in Mappin Court, including Indians. I had an amazing time there. My fellow Indian friends were very happy too.

- One thing I want to mention I like the most is they way Curriculum is designed, it focuses more on building your life personal skills than academic, and University stands out on it.
Dislikes

- I opted for private accommodation. I found this through Amber Accommodation.
- The monthly rent was 450 GBP, and the common room, gaming room, study room, and access to gardens were included.
- The challenge I faced was shifting to other rooms. Some of the rooms were very badly maintained, for which I had to complain and switch to other rooms.
- I recommend Sheffield 3 as the cheapest option for accommodation. It is around a 15-minute walk to the university from my accommodation.

- I searched for accommodation through an online platform called amber students. There you can compare the prices, locations, and sizes of the houses and decide which one fits your needs. You can also chat with them and tell them your preference and they can sort some places for you.
- Sheffield being a hilly area, there are so many ups and downs, so I preferred to get a place near my uni building, which made commuting easier.
