Is Sheffield a good place for students?

We asked people is Sheffield a good place for students?

Transcript

00:00 I do, it's a very good place I'd say. There's a lot of students here, so there's a big community

00:07 of students, both local and international students, so you have a lot of different types

00:16 of people in the world which is good I guess. Yeah, so it's a good place.

00:24 Yes, absolutely. My son came here so it was great for him.

00:30 Yeah, what was his experience here then? He just had great friends, he liked the vibe

00:35 of the city, he liked his accommodation, it wasn't too far away from home.

00:39 Oh that's good. Did he come home quite a lot? He did, but we did come up here to see him

00:46 as well. Oh good. But it felt safe where he was later at night because the student accommodation

00:52 is fairly close, they're not walking too far out.

00:56 Yeah, which uni was it he went to? It was only at the Columbia Fallon, yeah.

01:01 Yes, which sort of area was he for his accommodation? Near Wellington Street.

01:05 Oh okay, I can't remember what it was called. Yeah, is it the Anvil?

01:10 No. That's no. Oh well, Wellington Street.

01:14 Sorry, can't remember what it was called. Oh yeah, absolutely, yeah. I went here a few

01:18 years ago, I graduated in 2020 and I loved it. The nightlife was good, with the Hallam

01:23 just being there, it was so convenient in the city. It was great, yeah.

01:27 Yeah, and did you get involved with the community very much?

01:30 Not very much with the community, I played sports for the team and I played in the games

01:35 and stuff at the end of the year. The Varsity?

01:38 Yeah, the Varsity, that's it, yeah. What do you think about the competition between

01:43 the two uni? It's fun, yeah. It gets a bit banterous at

01:46 It's a bit band-pressing at times but it's good.
