Student Feedback 2012

Your home, lunch and laundry!

86% of you are satisfied with your overall experience of living in University accommodation.

You said that your pre-arrival accommodation experience was positive, although you felt that we could still do more to improve the accommodation application process and the level of information about the different types of properties and bedrooms.

Our website already has 360° room spins of the different types of accommodation but we’re reviewing it to photomake sure that we have all the information you could ever want about University accommodation. Take a look at www.sheffield.ac.uk/accommodation

You said that having an online inventory was great, but you’d like longer to complete the communal areas section so it can be done with your flatmates.

We are investigating how the sections for communal areas are completed so that you can complete it with your flatmates.

You said you’re not sure of which launderettes you can use and it’s frustrating for you when there aren’t any machines available.

Our new LaundryView system lets you see which machines are available and how long machines in use have left on their current cycle.

You said that in some of our older properties the standard of accommodation could be better and you would like to see them refurbished.

We’ve planned significant investment in refurbishments of the older properties over the next few years to make sure they’re the high standard that you expect from us.
