Hi there,

I am a 23yo student, i ill study Management & Business at Uni of Sheffield for 6 to 9 months. I am french, and never came to the UK before.

I am lookin' for advices about accomodation (colocation), uni, nightlife ...etc. Everything that can help is welcome :) .

U can join via Msn, just ask in private.

Thanks.

Oh dear 70 people have looked at this and no-one has replied. Bit unfriendly?

You'll have a great time here and shouldn't have much trouble finding accomodation, there seem to be student villages springing up everywhere and plenty of multi-occupancy houses. You may be able to take the place of someone who flakes and drops out after Christmas

Your first point of call should probably be the University - that will probably be the easiest way of finding somewhere to stay.

They have a section specifically for international students:

Other than that we have an accomodation section which it's probably worth keeping an eye on :)

Good luck with your studies and finding a place to stay :)

Salut - je vous conseille de vous renseigner sur le logement ici, sur ce forum. Si vous cherchez un appart/pav à partager, il vaut mieux chercher dans le quartier S6 (walkley) et S10 (crookes/broomhill): l'université est à 1km à pied. Vous aurez à payer dans les 50 livres la semaine. Sinon, il se peut que vous puissiez vous loger dans des residences universitaires. Le bureau de logement estudiantin s'occupera de vous. Envoyez-les un e-mail (cherchez Accommodation Office sur www.shef.ac.uk). Il y a pas mal de francais ici à Sheffield. renseignez-vous dans le department de francais sur les activities du Cercle francais....

im a student you will have no probs finding somewhere lots of accomodation usually available in jan

It depends what you're after. If you want the proper student life then the places Critter mentioned are good. There's also lots of places in the city centre nowadays. Hunters Bar is also pretty good as you'd be close to the university, city centre and some good parks and countryside.

There are quite a few French people on the forum that might have a room to rent if you don't want to completely immerse yourself in Englishness...

Salut!
Hunters Bar est pas mal du tout si on veut partager un logement avec d'autres etudiants ou jeunes professionnels, et c'est situé dans un quartier assez sympa avec pas mal de magasins, pubs, etc, et deux parcs assez grands et tres populaires!
Ce n'est pas tres loin de l'université, mais c'est vrai que Walkley en est encore plus proche!
Fais nous signe quand tu arrives, il y a pas mal de français ici!
Pour ce qui est de la recherche, l'université est un bon début, sinon tu peux toujours vérifier les petites annonces dans les vitrines de la poste et des tabacs-presse!
Bonne chance!
