University of Sheffield Reviews and Ratings

• I have opted for Off Campus Accommodation. There are student accommodations available through websites online like Amber, UniHomes, etc. that help you find accommodation in the city.
• My monthly rent is around 500 pounds. I have my personal bedroom and washroom but shared kitchen and common space like theatre, pool table, study rooms, karaoke rooms etc. It was pretty easy to find accommodations in this city. It's very close to my University and right in the city centre.

• I live in a private student accommodation. I found this online. It wasn’t so difficult to find accommodation.
• I have a silver ensuite room. My rent is about £500 a month. It is a single room with an attached bathroom and a common kitchen shared by four of us.
• My accommodation is just a 15-minute walk to the university. And I have a tram station just opposite my accommodation. So it's easier to travel and most Indian students stay here and in the nearby area.

• I found my accommodation through online websites and the rent was 115 pounds per week. There were no major challenges apart from the fact that booking the accommodation required me to connect with people in the UK and that required me to spend money on international talktime.
• For future students, just start looking for places around 3-4 months before your course starts otherwise you might end up not securing the place as they usually run out due to high demand.
• My accommodation was only 200m from my university.

• Amber helped me with accommodation. The rent is £500 per month, which includes the basic utilities and amenities: Wi-Fi, heating, and access to shared kitchen and living spaces. The location is great, fairly close to the campus of the University of Sheffield.
• The official portals for student accommodation and joining groups on Telegram for extra suggestions were really useful while searching for accommodations. A challenge was seeing that the room's availability falls within the time I needed.
• I recommend starting early, trying more than one platform, and considering university and private housing as well. Ecclesall Road and the city center are other places where many Indian students stay.

• I used an online platform suggested by my counsellor to book my Accommodation.
• My rent per week was 104 pounds and it included access to laundry machines(paid), a common room with games and Kitchen, and en-suite room(with private bathroom) and a shared kitchen.
• I did not face any challenge to secure my Accommodation as it was quite an easy process
• My only recommendation would be to check the walking distance from your Accommodation to your department building as that makes a huge difference in time management.
• My Accommodation was within a 15 minute walking distance from my department building and write in the centre of University campus. Most of the Indian students state in the neighbourhood under different accommodations.

• My friend helped me find accommodation. The monthly rent was 500£ with all facilities included.
• Whilst being a student, you are exempted from paying council tax. There were no major challenges to booking student accommodation because Sheffield is a student-friendly city.
• The accommodation is 10 minutes walk from the university. Most of the Indian students stay in university accommodations together.

I signed up for Rostrum Education which is an agency that helps student choose universities, applications, SOPs and overall assistance. They helped me find the best uni for my course and I am incredibly satisfied. I had great modules on my course, exactly what I was looking for. I had a great experience in my uni, with my teachers, friends, and flatmates. I immediately felt at home here. Overall people are very nice and helpful and it was a new experience for me so I was excited and prepared for it beforehand, I had done a lot of research before moving here. I’ve been on trips, I’ve explored my city, I have participated in various activities and workshops, I have gained a lot of skills, I have developed a really good CV, and I have earned money as well.

I chose this university because of multiple factors: - The QS ranking of the University of Sheffield was among the top 20 in Europe in 2021 and the ranking has gone up since. - It has the best student union all over the UK and it is still ranked as the best to this date. - Given the inflation rate and recession in the US, Europe is considered to be the next tech giant target in terms of IT infrastructure and software technical advancement in the employability domain as the big tech giants are building up their main headquarters in Ireland and the UK region. - The University of Sheffield's reputation in the overall European region is well placed and alumni of the university are working all over in big companies as well as small start-ups across the globe, hence alumni network is very strong at the University of Sheffield.

I chose this university as it was a Russell Group University and it was in the Top 100 across the globe. I searched for the city of Sheffield and found it really peaceful.
