Sheffield has been voted one of the best locations in the U.K for the student experience.
Studies found that northern cities in general which include the likes of Manchester, Leeds, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee and Aberdeen shared top honours according to analysis of 38,000 reviews on the website www.accommodationforstudents.com.
Undergraduates were asked to rate their university location on five points including shops, transport links, community, facilities and least importantly the nightlife.
A number of northern cities in the top 10 had an average score of over 60%, the only other places to get over this mark were Exeter and Brighton as the lowest score was Pontypridd receiving 44%.
Simon Thompson, co-founder and director of the on-line student accommodation provider believes is it no surprise Sheffield is thought of so highly “Sheffield has the making of a great city with plenty of pubs and clubs, lots of sights and two top class universities, it everything that students want and this is the reason why many have voted in favour of it.”
Having the largest database of properties that makes it an easy option when searching for new accommodation, the research marks the revamp of the website that has nearly 2 million members.
