If you like to meet loads of people and go clubbing every night, than this is the place to be. If you're more into classical music, musea and jazz - try a different university.

Do the introduction week for international students! Don't expect too much from Freshers Week. If you're English is bad, find a language buddy.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Because it is a good way of getting to know other people. We were 6 different nationalities, studying in 6 different fields.

Personal comments
Sheffield is a city with a majority of students. Therefore it can be hard to find accommodation when you are only a visitor. So, knowing that your host university helps you finding accommodation by offering you different options is very advantagous.

This is a great univerity with an excellent social life. It's away from the touristy-trap of London, but still close enough to visit. You get the real English atmosphere when you're among the locals rather than tourists.

Make sure you plan ahead when you travel and are quite prepared when you leave on trips. Figure out your priorities esp. with finances and spending.
