What is your favourite thing about living and studying in Sheffield?

When deciding where to study for my undergraduate degree, I knew I wanted to go to a good university that was not too close to home. Sheffield, being a Russell Group university that is far enough away from home, was the perfect choice for me. Sheffield is a fantastic place to live and study.

There is also Weston Bank Library, which overlooks the park and provides a conducive environment for studying.
