University of Sheffield Fresher - Ask me anything!

Thanks Ill look into that



Thanks! Might sneak it then :P

They don't give a crap. I streamed stuff all year & nothing happened :P I watched live TV without a licence as well. Rebel

hey, since you were talking abt downloading stuff, i wanted to ask, ..... i am from India, and i have downloaded lots of stuff in India from torrents (Mostly old movies made like 1 or 2 decades ago!). So if i bring those to the UK in my laptop, will they do some mandatory check of my laptop or something ? Just wanted to make sure.

And also, how will the streaming speed be in the endcliffe village, since a huge number of students will be using the bandwidth right ? will it be in MBps or down to KBps on an average during weekdays and weekends ?

And also, they said, if we are going to bring rice cookers from our home country, for exammple, say from india/china, then we will have to get that cooker PAT (Portable appliance) tested as well with the the university services. So if at all you are planning on getting a rice cooker, i would advise you to get one from Sheffield itself. There is a rice cooker available in www.click2campus.com under "desirable items", and if u order it, it will be delivered straight to your room.

Where are you from btw ?

Hi everyone,
i'm an erasmus student from France and i would like to share a flat in Sheffield during one year.
I'll arrive in Sheffield in 2 weeks and I would like to know wich papers or documents are necessary to rent a flat in Sheffield.
Thank you
See u soon !!

Ah I see that's not a problem cause I have an 'english' rice cooker already. Thanks though.
I'm from England, but I'm also half Japanese, hence my desperate need for a rice cooker hha.

Are rice cookers quicker to cook rice? Swear I spent half of my life in the kitchen in halls watching my rice/pasta cook and making sure it didn't stick to the bottom of the pan.

They shouldn't do checks on your laptop no? And they won't care if you have movies on your laptop anyway!

I have no idea about MBps or KBps, but I know that I wanted to watch the Truman Show & Family Guy & there was no buffering, & it downloaded super quick. I don't pretend to be v good at internet things, but Endcliffe internet was pretty good :P

Cool i asked coz, i just thought maybe sometime, all my flatmates can get together and watch movies (got a pretty big-ass laptop with sound blaster just for the movie experience :P !)..... perhaps even something like a movie marathon .... though i dunno how the officers will take to that ! ....... Streaming from netflix is fine ? any other similar places that u would suggest for streaming movies and the univ ppl not having any problems with whatsoever ?

haha cool ...... oooh, ur roommates a probably gna get to enjoy some hot steaming rice with sushi i suppose eh ?

Yeah it definitely is, and they cook the rice so much better, especially the japanese ones. Whats more you can just turn it on a leave it 'til its done.




Hhaa we'll see about that!

I just google 'watch.... online' & you're usually alright. I'm not joking when I say once you're moved in, no one gives a crap what you do as long as you don't set the place on fire. You will not get told off for much :P

saw this in another thread..... it seems from sept this year, all rooms in endcliffe will have wifi access ...... is this lyk an official declaration from ACS or its just a rumour doing its rounds ?

has any1 else heard of this ?

Hello, maybe you know a solution for my problem? I have a house which I will rent with my friends from September 30th but I have to come to Sheffield on the 15th. That means I need accommodation for two weeks. Could anyone point me to the right direction to find temporary housing? I am in real need...
