Single-sex Accommodation??

Hii
I have an offer from Sheffield that I still haven't firmed but I was wondering if Sheffield offers single-sex accom and if its available ensuite. Also, if I wait until my exams are over to apply is there a possibility that it will be taken up before I get a chance?

Thank you so much!! Do you recommend any particular accommodation ? I quite like City because of its proximity to the campus but I heard it can be boring

No problem! I'm afraid I can't offer any personal advice, but I'd say it depends on you. I would say if you get accommodation somewhere like Ranmoor it would require some public travel on occasion as it's a 40 minute walk to the main university (I think), which can be expensive but the alternative is time consuming. Don't let that dissuade you though as there's always cycling and such.

I'd say both have their benefits, I believe Allen Court would be considered the nicest and 'modern-est' accommodation, then St Vincent's, but obviously that does come with a price. Endcliffe and Ranmoor are both relatively modern-styled, so might be nice for that, but again there's a longer trek to the main city which might discourage it for you if you're interested in the city life and such.

At the same time, if you live at Ranmoor, for example, you're more in the suburbs so it would be quieter than city-Sheffield, and might feel more homely if you're not used to the city. If you like nature, too, I think it's a 25 minute bike ride to the Peak District, if you want to get out for a bit.

Bear in mind these are just my thoughts and I can only offer my experience from my little time in Sheffield, but hopefully that's of some service . It might be worth posting something new in the University of Sheffield Forum to get the attention of some students or some reps?

Good luck!
