Endcliffe vs City vs Ramoor?

Hi everyone! I am an American student coming to Sheffield for exchange! I heard city is the accommodation most international students choose but I don't want to be with all the non-English speakers but at the same time I am older than the incoming freshman (19 turning 20). What do you recommend?

I can't not recommend Endcliffe. I think you're right that many international students go to city, but in my block in Endcliffe there are multiple internationals including Americans and a Canadian. Endcliffe is the busiest of all of them and is closer than Ranmoor, but further away than city, from the main campus. You might be a little older than most freshers, but many students here take a gap year between finishing school and starting uni so you'll be the same age as many of them. I wouldn't worry about being an international surrounded by domestic students.

The only potential downside to living in Endcliffe is it can get noisy during freshers week and is probably a little noisier than the other two throughout the rest of the year as well when people come back from nights out, but it's never bothered me.
