So I'm gonna be starting Uni in a couple weeks and I'll be hoping to keep my car with me at sheffield. I was hoping if anyone knew some free places to park near The Pinnacles because they have 5 spaces for parking and its a grand to park in them.

I'll tag hallamstudents, maybe they will have some specific information.

Nowhere very near there will have free parking, as it's pretty central.
You'd probably have to find a residential road to park in, a mile or so away. There's on road parking in areas like Wybourn and I don't think that it's residents only, but I'm not 100%
But then if your car's going to be a mile away, you have to think whether it's still worth having it in Sheffield (and obviously you'd probably want to go check on it now and again)

Don't. It will be lots of hassle. I haven't lived in Sheffield for a long time, but parking in the centre is going to be difficult / expensive. Do you really need a car with you?

As others have said, you'll likely struggle locally. Remember you are far from the first student to have ran into this and both the uni and locals will be v entrenched in their views and policies. There will be a reason the spaces cost a grand, at mine you had to buy a permit for £90 every calendar year and it takes 8 weeks+ to process...so they're basically telling students to 'f off, don't park here'
As I said to another user lately, if you tried even pulling over in any of the residential streets near my old uni you'd be literally chased off. complaints to the uni if you don't hop it. Every other street for about a mile is very double yellowed.

I am also looking to bring my car as I’ll be having placements at hospitals. Do you know if the uni does discounted parking at hospitals e.g royal hallamshire for students. I live like 30 minutes from central.

Whatever your experience, it'd be good to update this thread, for those thinking of doing the same in future.
Enjoy Sheffield - it's my hometown (although I haven't lived there since leaving for university, I'm in California now).
