I am a Second Year Sheffield University student. Ask me anything about Freshers year!

Is it feasible to bring a motorbike to uni? I know you can only apply for parking actually during Freshers Week once you've registered, but do they have sheltered parking for motorbikes or will it just be a bay in the middle of a car park somewhere? I don't wanna leave mine at home and there are some awesome roads around Sheffield to take it round on...(Snake pass anyone )

Move in is the weekend of the 18th-19th of September, then freshers lasts until the 27th, when lectures start.

I took my car and stayed in Endcliffe. I didn't see any special motorcycle bays, but I can't see any reason you just can't keep it in a car park.

Ah 6 weeks!!
So are there procedures put in place for move ins? Does everybody do it at the same time

Yeah, it's all organised so you arrive on either the Saturday or Sunday. You choose a rough arrival time so they can manage when everyone's collecting keys, there's room to park, enough staff to help, etc.

I am doing a degree in Business Management btw.

Random question, do they provide mirrors in the rooms at Endcliffe or do you have to bring your own if you want them?
Also, is it a good idea to bring your car there? I really want to but I heard there's not much point in Sheffield...

Do not bring a mirror! They have great full length ones in every room in Endcliffe and Ranmoor.

I think its pointless bringing a car since town and your lectures are only 20 minutes away on foot. Save your petrol money for more important things. Like nights out.

So you're doing this at Sheffield I presume?
I'm doing Spanish with Business Management! So I'll probably be seeing you in some lectures

Pretty sure every department assigns you your tutor. A lecture is where whoever is leading the class teaches you the material for the course, a tutorial is used to apply what you're learnt in questions and worksheets, varying depending on your department.


I wouldn't recommend this, the staff at the university were all very helpful and answered all my questions for free, and you're able to go and see your personal tutor or whoever is teaching the course for any help. Office hours are great timing if you need help.


Varies with the modules you choose and what the lecturer decides. My modules for first year ranged from all exam to up to 40% coursework/60% exam.

You're so vain I bet you think this post is about you... don't you!

Yes, yes I do. Now go home

I think thats what people are buying. Ive jus bought some cutlery, a couple of mugs, some cups, plates, bowls, cooking utnesils then duvets and towels and all that stuff. You do need to take all this lol

I sure am! Still working on my visa atm, but hope to have that all done soon! We are bound to have a class or two together I'm sure!

I hope you get it sorted!
Where abouts are you stopping? In some of the university owned accommodation?
