I am a Second Year Sheffield University student. Ask me anything about Freshers year!

Hi!
I've been accepted (yay!) and have been allocated a room in apartment B1, Millstone Apartments in Endcliffe. And I was wondering if this would be a ground floor apartment, as I don't really want tone.

Thanks if you can help me!

Yep sorry that apartment is the ground floor in the block but I don't think it will be that bad. I can see how it would be kind of annoying because people can kind of see into your room, but Millstone is a quieter block so you won't get too many people walking past or anything.

Are there any cheap shops/supermarkets enroute between endcliffe and the campus? If so what should i look out for.

Also what would you recommended living off (Self catering)?

Thx

Is being in a single sex flat all that bad? I think I may be in one and for some reason I am worrying about it!

Haha I'm the complete opposite! I'd much rather live with all-girls (no offence lads for my stereotyping) because my mind automatically assumes they'll be cleaner. But realistically I don't really mind that much I guess. Is there anyway to know if we're in mixed or single? I've been given an en suite at Ranmoor which is not what I applied for at all so I'm just thinking that they might stick in mixed just to make it really the complete opposite

Hey! Have you got any idea what the Crewe flats are like? I really like being in the thick of it all and it seems a bit secluded and quiet there... Thanks

Same I'm in Crescent Flats and it seems quiet - there's only 5 people per flat and I'd rather it have 10.
There wouldn't be any spare accommodation would there?

How are the flats in Endcliffe set out ie the 1st floor has flats 4 5 11 12 17 18 23 24.
Is it like 4 then 5 opposite. next to 4 is 11 and 12 opposite? And can be easily socialize with all the flats on your floor.

Each building will be something like block A/B, or C/D etc. The ground floor would be flats A1 and B1 next door to each other (but sometimes ground floor only has one flat). Then it carries on- so A2 nd B2 would be first floor etc. Hope this helps you get a better idea

You're correct but Brightstar's living in Crescent Flats which has a different system to the rest of Endcliffe.

I wouldn't say being in a single sex flat is bad at all, in fact I noticed that they were sometimes the more sociable flats. Normally flats with all boys/girls have more motivation to get to know people in the building for a bit of variation, so being single sex has its upsides . Most people I know got on well with everyone they lived with and formed really close bonds, whether this was mixed or single sex seemed to make no difference.
