Watch themmmmmm!
Season 5 is confusing at the start though. Just message me if you don't get it. It confused me for a few episodes, but I kind of realised what was happening half way through. (':

That sucks! As soon as you catch up, go on this link, and we can discuss it! http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=2100733
Otherwise, it'll clog up this thread. :tongue:

Enjoy the episodes. They're such an improvement on Seasons 1-4 (not that it seemed possible...)

After being asked by somebody to give details of campuses, here's a brief amount of information I know of:

- Endcliffe is the busiest campus. It is the central, main one and has the highest population.
- Ranmoor is of a lower population, furthest away (by 5 minutes), but if often favoured from the city centre, as it is generally quieter.
- City centre campus I know little about, but I hear it is louder, as it is obviously central. It is ideal for people who are unable to walk far or who would prefer not to. It is location near the IC (major library).

Room types:
- If you access SHEF.AC.UK, you will find videos of single rooms and double rooms too. I will attempt to attach pictures at a later date, but if urgent, please access the website, as I have a poor phone and poor laptop (#studentlife!)
- I have attempted to attach a single room photo on this page, but knowing me, it may fail. (It is a friend's room when she left... - sorry Liv, I stole the photo! :tongue:

)
-

As for deluxes, there should be images somewhere, but if not, I will attempt to upload one later. I personally think it's worth the extra money if you want the space. The bathrooms are about 6ftx6ft as opposed to about 3ftx3ft.
If you have a preference to larger space, I'd recommend it. It worked out as £300 more for me for the year, and I'm glad I did it. It was more spacious and comfortable.
I'm sorry I couldn't be more help, but if anybody has details of any campuses (particular Ranmoor and the city centre), please share it, as I am only really knowledgeable on Endcliffe.

Also, please, if you want information on Endcliffe, please check through earlier posts rather than asking again. The first few pages involve a large amount on accommodation if you are looking for that. I realise there are lots of pages, but it would help if you looked at a few of the earlier pages. :smile:

Also, please post your questions on this forum rather than personal messaging, as it helps answer issues others may have.

Thanks. :smile:

I was hoping for 4A's, but only got ABBB (AS), what are my chances of getting into Biochemistry at Sheffield (AAA-AAB accepting General Studies). Also, do I have a better chance applying for the BSc. instead of the 4 year MSc. or are entry standards the same? Thank you :smile:

Generally, universities will base their decision on PREDICTED grades, not attained grades at AS. So, if your teachers believe you are capable of AAA, you will be more likely to receive an offer for a place. This of course, is at the discretion of your teachers however, so you must work hard in order to prove your capability to them. :smile:

I am not sure in particular, but in terms of applications, it will most likely be the same. Requirements, you will be able to find at http://www.shef.ac.uk under the 'undergraduate' link and then under 'courses', or alternatively at UCAS.com :smile:

I know for a fact £10,000 of that was caused by one flat who destroyed absolutely everything in their kitchen. They smashed windows, pulled the oven out of the worktop, put a hole in the wall and just generally destroyed everything. So even if incidents half as bad as that happened I can see v quickly how it can get up to that level & appear as if they're swindling people.

Sure, there may have been a flat like that. I didn't hear of it but ok.

However that gives me your opinion on one point, and goes no way in negating the reputation the university has among it's students regarding it, and the facts I stated are just that...facts.

Listen, I enjoy my time at the university of sheffield, don't get me wrong, but there are a number of quirks that I think if I would have known about before hand I would have gone somewhere else.

I want to apply for mechanical engineering at sheffield, and already have a level grades of A* in maths and physics, and A in biology and chemistry. However this is my backup, and I will also be applying to 4 medical schools (including Sheffield). I will therefore have a personal statement dedicated to medicine... will they reject me from engineering because of this despite the good grades?
