This question has probably been asked many times over, but I am trying to get a clear perspective. I am an incoming postgraduate student to Sheffield beginning in September and I am trying to determine the best option for accommodation.
I am in my early-mid 20's and coming from the USA. I don't know anyone in Sheffield, so I am looking for the best choice that allows me to meet new people, study, and also those who like to go out and travel.
I have read about the University accommodation options online, and I can't say I am sold on any options. I like the social aspect of Endcliffe, but I am more inclined to live close to the city center and the central campus. Also, I am a bit partial to having a little bit of a larger bed, if it's available.
Another option that I would like to consider is the private accommodations. Are there buildings that are more desirable and cost effective than others? It is difficult to gauge this from their websites.
Ideally I'd like to live with those who's primary language is English, as I think it will be easier to relate. Any insight is appreciated, and thanks to everyone who's still reading.
