Best accommodation for first year engineering student at Sheffield

Hi what is the best accom for a first year engineering student at the uni of sheffield? I heard endcliffe is the best/where most first years go, but it’s far away from the Diamond. However, Allen Court is way closer to the engineering building but i don’t want to miss out on the social life at endcliffe. What would people recommend ?

Hey, I was in crescent flats last year up in encliffe. To make it easier i'll just a do a pros and cons list:

Pros:

Cons:

Of course all of my knowledge is biased as anyone else from different endcliffe accomodations would say different things, but generally as a person who doesn't mind walking, I didn't find that the distance from the city matterd that much as it was always some of the best times walking back up the endcliffe after a night out. And my friends who lived down at allen court also had a great time there, as they found it very easy to meet new people through proximity. But i mean yh, statistically more people you meet are from up in that area,It all just really depends on who you meet along the way.

Hi!
My name is Ellie and I am a 3rd year English Language and Linguistics student here at the University of Sheffield. In my first year, I lived in a block called Rivelin on the Endcliffe campus. In my flat I also lived with two engineers (mechanical engineering and electrical engineering). They both never expressed any negativity towards living in Endcliffe, and I wholeheartedly would recommend it to any prospective students. I absolutely loved my time at Endcliffe, as there was the perfect mix between social, fun activities, and the opportunity to go and sit in the recently refurbished study area on the ground floor of the edge building. The walk is obviously something that most students pick up on; it used to take me around 20/25 minutes to walk to most of my University buildings, and I had a fair few lectures in the Diamond building too.
Have you attended any of our open days/campus tours? You will have the opportunity to visit the accommodation and get a feel for what it is like location-wise, alongside everything else on offer here.
I hope this helps! Feel free to ask me anything
Ellie

Hi Ellie I was wondering if you have any pics of the kitchen / room you had in rivelin as I am thinking of picking it
