Sheffield is the UK’s fifth largest city and is located in the north of England. Residents young and old take great pride in their city for its culture, friendliness and variety of things to do.
Sheffield has two universities, the University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam University, and there are campuses located all over the city. The large student population helps local businesses thrive and, as a result, many of these businesses are tailored to students' needs. You will never be bored with many different theatres, cafes and music venues to explore.
