I can personally vouch for Sheffield - I've been impressed over the past week and a half since I started my LPC. My cousin did the LLB here as well, and spoke highly of staff, teaching, facilities, etc.

The city is a great student city as well - I've lived just outside it all my life, and the shopping is improving every day, and the social side is great too :smile: A very friendly city, I feel really safe, and its cheaper than a lot of cities. (I know you're commuting so won't need accom info, but even for things like parking and nights out its much cheaper than say, Leeds)

Hope that helps a bit....

I'd personally go for Leeds - it's literally heaving with realllllllllllly hot guys. Don't apply to Lancaster; I really didn't like it when I visited a mate there. It's in the middle of the countryside, like wtf?!

Maybe you should give us some opinions. Why don't you want to go to any of those schools? What is stopping you from making a decision etc.?
Sheffield send offers damn fast, the yhave the best admissions procedure of anyschool from what I hear ... if you go for them odds on you will have a strong place pretty quickly and wont stress and its probably one of the better of the schools you outlined.

Just thought I'd butt in add my 2cents.

Sheffield is a decent choice. Like Elle said it's really cheap to live in, and student nightlife is great as it caters for loads of students (Hallam+UoS = Bajillions of students!!!), and UoS has one of the best Unions in the UK. The University itself, is pretty decent, and part of the Russell Group.

Bad points - Well, it's extremely hilly, great for running not so when your going on a night out. The law library could be improved a bit, as many of the texts are lacking in numbers. There is the main library - MASSIVE, which is open 24hrs during exam time.

If your doing law, then expect roughly 400 odd students to be in your year. Yes, there are a lot of them!!! Therefore the core subjects such as Public Law, Contract and ILLS will be based in the Octagon, which is basically a massive audotorium. So depending on where you live, expect to be walking, if you choose Halls of Residence, then Tapton is the recommended one, 5 mins from the law library, about 10mins from the Octagon.

The gym is really good, and they usually have special offers for students.

Apart from that, what can I say?
400 students... must be one of the biggest in the UK!! We had 250 or so in first year and I thought that was alot...

I heard that the Law course at Northumbria is excellent and very popular, but I also noticed that is does go into Clearing and that the clearing grades required are only BCC! On the plus though, if you missed your offer, it might not make a difference.

Regarding the Law library, when I was at the Durham open day they said that you get internet access to an online library which has every publication online, is this the case for all unis?
Reply 17
I would guess so. There is a service similar at Cardiff.
When they say every publication online do they mean an online catalogue or scan ins of every book ... I suspect the first and if so then yes everywhere has it if its the latter then its probably illegal!

For law though they give you usernames and passwords to sites which are chokka block with articles and stuff and cases like westlaw/lexis etc.

Not sure, they just said you wouldnt need to go to the library because everything is online.
