Why did you want to come to the University of Sheffield to study your chosen degree?

First of all, the teaching quality at Sheffield University is good, especially at the Information School. It ranks high in QS world university rankings. Also, it is a very diverse place with people from all different countries, and therefore there are all kinds of restaurants. What's more, it is a place where you can so easily access nature as the Peak District is just nearby.

I've appreciated the support system of University. If there was any question about study or life, I could always find people or organizations to support me, which made my study and life much easier. And I really enjoyed working as a student ambassador for the Information School, which made me have opportunities to work with staff and communicate with students from other countries and subject. Also there were lots of opportunities for volunteering work, so I could contribute my time for the things I care about and make a change. What's more, as an outdoor lover, Sheffield is a perfect place because it is so easier to access Peak District National Park. I never get enough hiking trips in Peak District.

Let me realize that life is full of possibilities and there are lots of ways to live a more passionate and meaningful life.
