(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
If you like a medium sized green-leafed town relaxed feeling. Not for those looking for a very urban experience. I loved Sheffield. No tourists and very homely.

Personal comments
Go down West Street and you will find the best pubs in town. Although Casablanca and Fitzooth and Firkin are my favorites, do try West End. Don't miss all the bus tours arranged by the International Office in the Union Building. And if you require further information, please don't hesitate to contact me, Heidi. hean96ae@usa.net
