My MS experience in Uni of Sheffield

Likes

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.

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 provides CV building, career inputs and advices.
The campus is really nice and friendly.

I found the accommodation via Amber App, which has multiple options across the globe. Monthly rent varies depending the location, type of room. University accommodations are bit expenses compared to other.

My University Of Sheffield Experience

Likes

I really liked the way of teaching at my university. It was easy for me to learn.
The professors were friendly and easily approachable.
The Students Union at my university are very supportive.

Dislikes

The University Accomodation was very expensive , though it was near the university.
I disliked because the university didn’t hold any competitions or events to encourage students.
I also disliked that each buildings are far from each other , which made commuting difficult.

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.

CAMPUS VIBES : University of Sheffield

Likes

The Campus is scattered around the city (Close to each other), so you get a lot of chances to roam around the city and take lectures.
The professors here (Specially in Data Science) are quite knowledgeable and experienced so getting the guidance is quite fruitful.
The Student Union in Sheffield is one of the best in the UK, so there are a lot of societies and clubs to join and there's always an event going to happen.

Dislikes

Food is a bit of an issue, I mean the canteen is good but for Indians, you have to find somewhere else to eat.
As mentioned the campus is scattered across the city, which is good but sometimes it kind of becomes a hassle when you have to walk for 30 minutes before a lecture every morning.
Relatively expensive things here at the 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.
