Sheffield A100 / A101 2020 Offer Holders

I think it was worth going, I found the morning a bit dull, as it was just the kind of things you'd do at an open day but the afternoon at the medical school was really good. They had some small sessions going on in seminar rooms so lots to do, lots of people to ask questions and lots of medical offer holders to chat too. Then a very informative talk with Julian! My dad came, and most people had parents with them. Hope this helps x

thank u this was really helpful! did the day finish exactly at 4, or could you leave earlier? also what happened for lunch? i’m going with my friends who have offer holder days in other departments so i’m just wondering if i can meet them at lunch

did they give out any information or letters about accommodation and stuff like that?

When can we start booking accommodation?
Do we wait for an email?

You get an email notifying you that you can book your accommodation via MUSE. You are guaranteed accommodation and will have a selection of options from Endcliffe Village or in the City. But not all the available rooms are released at one go. So you will find other blocks becoming available in the later weeks.

A good number of Year 1 Medicine stay in Endcliffe which is a 20 to 30 minute walk to the Medical School. When you book your room you can view a brief description of your flatmates who have already booked. Highly recommended you put down what you are studying, whether you like to go to bed before midnight, dietary restrictions, etc. The university tries to ensure there are at least 2 medics in a flat and it is possible to have a whole flat full of medics. Birds of the same feather tend to flock together.

Thank you so much that is very helpful.
Do you know roughly when we’re expected to get this email?

Are people thinking the upcoming offer holders days are likely to be cancelled?

anyone else firmed but can’t apply for accommodation?? when I click ‘apply now’ it takes me to an login error page

I firmed last night but it still says on MUSE that they're waiting for me to accept my offer

Anyone notice that there’s not a lot of accommodation options on the Sheffield accommodation booking?

i was worried abt this so gave them a quick call and apparently it works on a rota system and new accommodation becomes available every few days so that it’s fair. it’s completely random so you just have to keep checking i guess

it took a day or 2 for MUSE to recognise i’d firmed and then accommodation became available to view so don’t worry!!

Hi, for those who attended offer holder days, do you know if we have to move for clinical years 3-5 to another accommodation if we are placed outside Sheffield? Or, are all clinical placements within the Sheffield area? Guess, I am comparing this to Manchester where you may be placed in years 3-5 outside of the main Manchester area and may need to move.

Also, does Sheffield's course have a research component every year (not intercalation) and do any current students have feedback on how research-focused this is?
Thanks in advance.
