Final comments
As accomodation I would suggest Endcliffe Vale Flats, there are some flats that are a bit old.... and just enjoy your year there, you may not have another year as good as the one you spend there. For me, it was the best year i've lived, in all fields (academic, personal...) I met great people who i'm still in contact with, I really felt I'd changed after being there.

no, I really liked the academic life as well as the student life in Sheffield. They may not take many exams, but I think people there really learn..... they don't study just to pass exams

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I was living in self catering flats. It's good to share the accomodation with different people, and university facilities, although expensive, were well organised
