BSc Building Surveying, third year
'I chose to study at Sheffield Hallam because as soon as I walked into the University on the open day I just knew it was the place for me, without even going to any other universities. The course is what drew me to Sheffield Hallam in the first place, and I'm glad it did. Studying here was the best decision I've made in a long time
'The best thing I have taken from the course is all the new knowledge I have gained. Especially in things I never thought I would be good at, such as building studies and pathology.
'But ultimately it is all the friends I have made on the course that has been the biggest highlight. Very good friends which I hope I'll be in contact with in years to come. I always recommend Sheffield Hallam to my friends and a few have actually come here.
'Sheffield really sells itself I think. It has good transport links, good shopping areas and things like that. The University itself has a feeling of warmth and it is welcoming. It's an exciting place, you can't wait to know where you can go next or what it will lead to.
'Enjoy every single second you have at university as the experience flies by. Make the best use of your time, make as many friends as you can, do as many things as you can, just enjoy the whole experience of learning, socialising and meeting new people, because it goes by so fast.'
