Course recommendations
taking courses in other departments than your own can be somewhat complicated, so you should contact the lecturer early before the course starts and ask whether you can take part in it.
also make sure you take appropriate modules as some of them may be too difficult or too easy. the first digit of the module's code tells you in which year you should take it.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
This gives you a certain freedom (i.e. you are self-catering and selv-reliant). Additionally, as you share a house with other students, it adds a social dimension to the whole experience. As for me, I'm still in touch with my former, international room-mates. So, living in a house with other exchange students definitely helps building a lasting network.

Personal comments
I was impressed by how organised the allocation of housing was, considered the fact that the University has thousands of exchange students each semester. I'm grateful that the University (or more specifically, the Students' Union) stood for the allocation process- personally, I don't think that I could have found a better place by searching on my own.

Course recommendations
Be aware that it can be a different way of studying than what you are used to. Also, when you've made your final choice, it is possible to change it within 3 weeks or so. Always check with your teacher. He/She must sign you final choice so you can be registered.

Overall
24/7 library. iForge Maker space where students can work on their own passion projects.
My degree program provided a range of optional modules, including an opportunity to study a second language.
My department helped me to find opportunities to study abroad.
Careers service organised different job fairs and supported me through internship application process.
Lecturers were very good at explaining complex topics and they are experts in their research field.
Parks and surrounding nature of Sheffield are great for taking break from studies.
