Local Student Experiences

Katie:

I remember being really nervous about starting university but also excited because it was the start of a whole new episode of my life. I was pretty shy and not much of a drinker but psyched myself up to be sociable in Freshers Week...

Katies story...

Andrew:

Like an increasing number of students, I decided before I started university that the best option would be to live at home and commute in each day, I felt at the time that the savings that I could make with regard to rent and food etc by living at home would not leave me with debts as large as they may otherwise be...

Andrew's Sheffield Experience...

Jennifer:

I would say I have gained several solid friendships out of studying at university and I have met some interesting and wonderful people - but it was a slow process, partly because I made some mistakes at the beginning...

Jennifer's University Experience...

Mark:

Like everyone I came to university with the questions all home students have. How will I meet people? Will everyone have already made friends? What can I expect from Fresher's Week?...
