Uni of Sheffield or uni of Birmingham for law

Hello guys I'm stuck on which uni to firm for law (between uni of Sheffield and uni of Birmingham). I've visited both universities and I'm interested in both their courses, however I would like to hear what current students think about their experience there.
This could be what the teachers are like, support received (eg. Supporting uni life transition, assessment feedback, etc), or just anything in general that drew you to the uni

Neonori, can I suggest you ignore Ariale's post above. They seem to be the reincarnation of a previous poster (Logic1) who posts exactly the same question on a variety of sub-forums i.e. "What was ur GCSE and A level grades?"

Their posting style and (painful) spelling/grammar is notably similar.

Hi neonori,
My name is Sofia and this is my 4th year as a Sheffield student having stayed on here for my masters in Cancer Biology and Therapeutics. Therefore, I cannot share any personal experience of studying law, but I can tell you about my time at Sheffield and why I chose to study here.

I originally decided to go to Sheffield after attending an offer holder day. I enjoyed listening to the taster lecture and found my lecturers to be very passionate about what they were teaching. I also really liked the friendly atmosphere on campus and the relaxed feel to the university. In my first year at Sheffield I stayed in university accommodation (Endcliffe). We were supported by Residence Life who sent mentors to make sure we were getting on okay, and who could help us with settling in to living away from home for the first time.

Overall, I have really enjoyed living in Sheffield and I particularly like the close proximity to the Peak District. It is a great place to hike and take a break from your studies. Sheffield also has an award-winning Student's Union with many sports clubs and societies to join. This is a great way to meet friends with similar interests to you.

I hope this has helped, please don't hesitate to ask me any other questions you may have!
Sofia :smile:

You do appear to be Logic1's doppelganger.

Well, here's the thing.

You joined this site two weeks ago at almost exactly the same time as Logic1 ceased to post (and had, I think, received a temporary ban).

Already today you have posted 5 times asking exactly the same question, in exactly the same format, as that poster - namely "What was ur gcse and a level grades?". Those posts span the Dentistry, Medicine, Mathematics and Medical Schools sub-forums. That poster used to do exactly the same.

I don't know why you feel the need to ask that question, across such a variety of forums (including Law): I can only imagine you have some personal reasons for doing so. But, given your apparent interest in medicine etc, I don't really see what value you hope to add here on the legal forums. What was the purpose of your reply on the OP's post?

Pleas don’t start a commotion and as a result of questioning please do only do what you do respectively. Honestly I don’t understand what you’re saying but please don’t start anything. And relate to what op is saying not starting this point up as I told you I don’t know.

I don't really understand your post.

I'm not trying to "start a commotion". I'm asking you to stop posting meaningless questions on a vast number of threads which you know nothing about. By way of example, why did you ask the OP for details of their grades when they were asking for input on which university offer to accept based on others' experiences at those institutions?

First of all I don’t know who you are referring too as I told you multiple times. Second of all no point of starting this. PM me but please link the conversation to this thread.

Hello Sofia! Thank you for your reply. I was wondering if you could tell me more about the societies you joined, as well as what makes Sheffield's SU stand out from the rest (if you know the answer, of course)
