Actually I've really enjoyed the parties on campus...every week there are at least one or two parties somewhere...but even the clubs are ok.In sheffield you can choose between the city center and ecclesar road(a road with only pubs and clubs).You really can find whatever you are looking for.As a cafe' in the daytime I've enjoyed the university cafes.The real best way to get several break with several people and find the time to study(sometimes...)

Course recommendations
When you choose a course you do it in your own country without knowing anything about that.A suggestion is to ask to the students of your university that have been in the same place before or to your teachers
