Welcome to the greenest city in the UK
Welcome to Sheffield
New to Sheffield? Welcome to the greenest city in the UK with the Peak District National Park as its own backyard. It’s full of friendly people here, with a thriving creative culture, and hundreds of quirky independent businesses. Plus, it’s one of the least expensive cities to live in as a student in the UK!
We’ll be sharing some of the best places to explore in our city over on our social channels, so make sure to follow us and stay in the know.
If you already live in Sheffield and are commuting from home, there’s still lots of ways to connect with other students. Why not try some of our Give It A Go events, or join a Club or Society, so you can feel part of our campus community.
