I really felt at home throughout my stay at the University of Sheffield. Leaving your real home for a year can be a terrifying thought, but in my dorm, in my department, and in clubs and activities I felt more than welcome. The experience within itself is priceless.

I feel that living day to day in a completely different culture opens the mind to bigger and better things. I loved England so much that I am in the process of finding a job and settling there.

Sheffield is great vibrant city. There are lots of things to do and beautiful scenery to see. Everything is in close proximity and the people are friendly. The university staff were very helpful and were always there to answer any questions I had.

The academic standard at the University of Sheffield is high, so all your hard work pays off. I am proud to say that I spent an academic year in at the University of Sheffield.
