Sports buff? There’s plenty to rally behind in Sheffield, including the world’s oldest football club, Sheffield FC, and the UK’s first professional ice hockey team, the Sheffield Steelers.
Night life
Whether you’re celebrating success or catching up with your roommates, you’ll want to check out West Street. Famed for its high-energy atmosphere, West Street is brimming with bars, clubs, and everything in between.

Congratulations! You’ve got a place on a course through clearing and you’re going to university; but what happens next?
Well, the first thing you need to do is accept the offer of study sent to you by the university. You’ll need to do this via UCAS. Once this is done and it’s all confirmed, you’ll also need to let your student finance provider know if there are any changes to your original application, such as a change in the university you’re attending, the course you’re studying, and the length of the course.
It’s also important that you find and confirm your accommodation. Options for last minute accommodation can be limited, so let us help you take away the stress. At Student Roost, we have accommodation in 21 UK cities. Upgrade your student living and become a part of our student community.
