Thinking about it!
@@janani1826 same
@@janani1826 same!
hopefully
Yes!
I had a similar experience with applying to Sheffield through clearing - I was feeling really down because I didn't make the grades for one place, but then the Sheffield team were so nice and responsive it made me feel a lot better and I began to value my grades as I should have. Glad to know someone else had the same experience and it wasn't just a fluke!
I'm so glad to hear your situation was similar and it wasn't just a fluke like you said! Hope it's all going well for you :)

Brodie Briddock ahh you should definitely check it out, there’s so much to do there🥰 I miss it loads x
Ah!! Your videos are awesome!!❤😂

Super helpful. Hopefully I come here in September. Thanks!
no worries :)
i love your intro!!
thanks honey - I used phonto and picsart to make it! :) x
Such a helpful video 💗I’m starting at Sheffield uni in September eeek! One thing tho, do you think it’s normal for like your flat group chat not to talk that much over text before you start? Idk if it’s still a bit early as it’s still 3 months away - but hardly anyone talks in my group chat 😬
to be honest we didn't find each other until after results day so your situation is slightly different but I guess we were all quite excited about the novelty of everything, I reckon closer to the time it might pick up a bit! xx
me too!!! could i join your group chat:)
Thanks for such an informative video. I will be going to sheffield this september for msc sustainable agriculture and I hope it's worth it
love your makeup look here.
Thank you lovely! :) x
Loved this ! Missing Sheffield :(
thank you! same hun, same :(( x
hopefully going there september 2021🦇
Hey I’m planning applying for Sheffield for physics this video is great!!!❤️(just worried about diversity and sports societies )
there are loads of sports societies on offer - they have a whole sports fair during freshers! As for diversity, I can understand why you may be concerned, but there are societies for people of all cultures that are open to all and you will definitely find people who can relate to you too! x
Join ACS I found most diversity pockets are in the culture societies
This was really helpful thank you! Can I just ask, are there regular buses to the campus as I know it's a bit of a walk from endcliffe/ randmoor?
Uni of Sheff 2022 anyone?
YESSSS
@@underliined1120 what course do you want to do
@@Libwazoo medicine wbu?
@@underliined1120 speech and language x
@@Libwazoo hopefully we get in xx
Are the room numbers 1&2 near the kitchen or 5 and 6 near the kitchen?? I’m tryna work out of my view is a car park or the pond😭
thanks for this video omg! im a future international and this has been really helpful lmaooo (imma still book city accommodation tho SKSKJDNJF)
haha you do you honey, whatever your preference is what you should go for! Glad you enjoyed the video! x
This is so helpful! Thank you so much! Sheffield uni is definitely up there for one of my choices. I am planning on going to uni in September 2021. The subject I want to do is English and the building where you do that is quite a bit further from where my su is and endcliff. I was wondering if there will always be people to tag along with?
I'm glad you enjoyed it!! Loads of people do English at Sheffield, so even if you don't meet people in your accommodation straight away who do the same subject, there are plenty of events that your department will do in intro week so that you'll find friends to tag along w you to lectures, seminars, etc! :)
Sophia Rami thank you so much for the reply! 💞
Hi! Did you end up going xx
Hiya, do you have any advice on when /where you should start to look for a job? xx
❤ thank you
I’m an american coming to get a bachelors in psychology 😊 so excited sheffield is a beautiful city !!
it really is! You're gonna love it :) xx
I've been put in ranmoor and they won't let me swap to endliffe, do you think they'll let me swap when I arrive?
Your so pretty!! New subscriber here ❤️💙 ( ah I was sub #100!!)
oh my god thank you haha!! Means a lot :)) xx
Which uni did you consider for Biochemistry?? I'm an international and thinking to apply for Sheffield ofc! and Warwick and Nottingham but can't tell which uni is strong with Bio realm. I appreciate if you could give me some sense with it ;/ Thank you for the great video!
thanks for letting me know
I’m going in September and living in Howden!
good luck! x
I will start uni in Sept, but I my accommodation is private so will it be more difficult to make friends as I’m not going to live in a uni accommodation
yess I love my notes too😂I didn’t go uni but this was really interesting hun💓
Rebecca Riddle Hehe I would just go off on 100 different directions rather than get straight to the point without my notes😩😂 glad you enjoyed :)) x
superrr helpful esp for this year! Definitely helping me try to make my decision, what made you choose Sheffield over Leeds bc I've applied to both but not got to visit the cities. Just wondered your take as you said you also applied and visited Leeds
I really liked Leeds too & it's a beautiful city as well, slightly bigger so it all depends on what you prefer, but I just thought the course at Sheffield was better suited to me & I appreciated how the uni reached out to me to give me more information about my chosen course too! Clearing is obvs a slightly different situation so if you do get a chance to go visit your cities I definitely would but if not then extensive research on both the course and the city is your best bet too x
Love your videos~ Could you recommend some out campus accommodations?
Thank you! I've heard the unite students ones are meant to be good :)
Hi Sophia,do they offer need-based financial aid?
I’m French and and I find it
funny how universities in France and in UK are so different !
must be so different! Thanks for watching - hope you found it interesting! :)
Is this university has placements for international students?
Helpful tips. Love your intro. What did you use? Thanks
thank you! Glad you enjoyed! I used phonto and picsart :) x
Hi. Really helpful video. Hoping to get into Sheffield next year. Is the accommodation just for the first year, or for all the years you would be studying there?
hey! So the uni accommodation is mainly for first years but you can apply for spots as a second year too!
@@sophiarami Omg thank u so much..that's really helpful 😊😊
Is there any transportation available from the accommodation to the university as you are saying it is like a 25-30 minutes walk ?
Pretty sure there is a bus from the accommodation for £1
Hi! I'll be starting my journey in Sheffield from this year, September. I booked a "singles" Preference in Endcliffe Crescent 30. What I want to know is that will I get International or local Roommates?
there's no way of finding that out unfortunately because both international and home students can sign up for those places :)
Hi, what is the difference if price between city and endcliff accomodation? Thanks!
not sure of the exact differences, as it all depends on whether or not you want shared bathrooms or ensuite & which type of accommodation you want but there's so much info available on the sheff website :)
How’s diversity at the uni? Hopefully going there this year and slightly worried about it
Honestly I found it to be really diverse, there are so many international students, and British people from other ethnicities too (just like myself!) - it's full of many different cultures! Good luck!! :)
How common is it for students to go out partying in the university.
hi, just want to ask what you think of biochemistry as a course at sheff? i’m thinking of choosing it or possibly biomed, do you know what you want to go into once you graduate? thank you:))
Hey! I am really enjoying the course so far and i think that the two - biomed and biochem - are very different, biomed gives you the options to look into modules like neuroscience, anatomy and pharmaceuticals whereas biochem looks into biology at a molecular level in year one, and you focus on genetics, microbiology and molecular biology as well as biochemsitry. As you go through the years, you are able to focus more on the areas that you enjoy more! There are so many options with a biochemistry degree, but I think I may attempt the graduate entry route into medicine, I haven't fully decided yet, if not then hopefully I'll be able to do an industrial year and eventually a masters and go into research, but the world is truly your oyster when it comes to a degree like this, you can go into so many business jobs, work in the intelligence sector or even become a teacher! It's all down to what you are interested in :) x
Sophia Rami okay thank you so much!! i’ll definitely look more into each course and see what i think will be best x
hey! do you know anyone who lived in crewe in endcliffe ? if so what did they think of it ?
yeah I had a friend there! It's shared bathroom but has a huge kitchen which is so nice - only downside is it's a little out of endcliffe compared to the others but it's not that bad! Just all down to what you want :)
Sophia Rami brilliant thank you !!
Hopefully would be going to sheffield in september👍
good luck lovely! :)
@@sophiarami thanks💜🙏
I've ended up getting a double bed room in endcliffe
Heyy, i was wondering if there are many british Pakistanis or asians at Sheffield? Xx
Yes it’s very multi-cultural 😊👍🏼👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿
do you know how long is it from Allen Court to the uni walking?
About 5 mins, it's right next to the campus
💖💖💖 Subbed
Mimi Fredivas thanks lovely💓
I've heard that the drug culture is very explicit and high at Sheffield. Do you know much about that?
Hi! I was just wondering how to start finding a job😊
There is a place in campus that has jobs of all kinds and all times
😍😍😍💗💗💗💗👍👍👍
Hiiiii ..hopefully i study there 1 day .thats my dream ..please pray for me 😀❤❤
do you have to be above 18 to get accomodation in city?
I don't believe so, as long as you are a student at the university you should be able to get the accommodation that is available :)
Sophia Rami ohh ohk then thank you 😁who knows maybe we might bump into each other someday😂
Is admission open for international students there??
Any idea about that anyone
Yeah but only for the International College.
You don’t happen to know what colour the wall is in Lawrencefield in Endcliffe do you? 😂☺️ x
it all depends on which block you're in! I had a friend who was in A block and her walls were like a dark blue x
Sophia Rami Thankyou! X
Is west street still booming
haha I'm not there right now but it deffo will be once this is all over!
Sophia Rami I grew up in Sheffield old memories of west street (Sheffield in general) I use to truant from secondary school and go to Meadowhall, there use to be an arcade area 😂 spend all day there🙈 I like the bars on west street! It’s all probably changed now. They’ve redeveloped the city centre.
Hahaha your super cute girl love it
Thank you honey! xx
How much money do you reckon is needed for Sheffield Freshers week usually?
it's all dependent on how many nights out you wanna go on/how much you drink, sheffield is fairly cheap in comparison to other UK cities but during freshers the tickets are definitely higher - I'd say they range between £5-15 depending how early in advance you get them, but the drinks are fairly cheap from what friends have said like 50p for a single to £5 rounds as well! hope this helps :)
Thank you for your response
Sheffield University once employed the man strongly suspected of murdering civil rights campaigner and Special needs Teacher, Blair Peach.
Anybody wanna be bros in September?
Anyone going to Sheffield in September ?
