Sheffield is a great place for going out, with an expanding range of pubs, clubs, bars, restaurants and cafes. If you need a spot of retail therapy, there’s the popular Fargate, together with the Meadowhall shopping mall. Neither is there any shortage of cultural attractions - Sheffield has two major theatres, the Lyceum and the Crucible, together with four major art galleries.

For sporting enthusiasts there’s the Ponds Forge Sports Centre (just a 10 minute walk from our Halls) which has an Olympic - sized swimming pool.

Alternatively have a go at something different and visit either the nearby Ski Village or Ice Sheffield.

Despite its wealth of facilities, Sheffield isn’t an expensive place to live, and many students find themselves staying here after they finish their studies. It’s also worth adding that Government statistics show that Sheffield is officially the safest city in the UK. All in all, the city offers an excellent place to get the most out of your time at university.
