After the hi-jacking of another thread :suspect: I thought it was a good excuse to start it a thread of it's own....

The SF SHU re-union thread!!!

We're not going anywhere (subject to change without notice), just tell us when you were there and lets see if any of us actually know each other ;)

I was in Pond Street - engineering - from '89 to '93, and Mr Strix was in the school of construction at the same time :thumbsup:


When were you there, and what site? :)

Sorry Strix, I guess I was partly to blame for that.

Was at SHU form 1995 to Graduation in 2000, part time on a day release basis. Did the BEng in Electronic Systems and Information Engeering in the School of Engineering on City Campus (Pond street)

Am I supposed to :blush: :blush: :blush: :blush: ???? From 1986-91 for my M.Sc. at the Business School when it was out at Totley and still known as Sheffield City Polytechnic

I did my PGCE in Early Years Education at Collegiate Cres 98-99. Anyone else there? .... more to the point are you still teaching?

My first degree I did at University of Sheffield 94-97 (Psychology).

I don't know what a "SHU" is :confused:

Thanks mega_monty. I thought I'd ask for all the other forummers :D

I was there 2001-2004, Engineering school, studying Computer Network Engineering.

I know there are more of you out there!

Come on, you don't need to tell us what course you were on if you don't want to :rolleyes:

Anybody from the rock soc kicking about on here?

I was there 1998 - 2001 and I am not revealing my course for fear of being recognised :suspect:

Yep I was there between 1995-99 at Collegiate Crescent doing my Nursing degree.

BSc IT '84 - '88 based in Heriot House but also in 5 and 12 storey blocks.

sorry strix :blush:

was there from 98 to 2003. I re-sat 1st year due to a major concussion from a head injury :(

studied electronic engineering at (surprisingly), the school of engineering at the city campus.

was anyone else in halls on collegiate campus in 98/99??

Did English degree at Collegiate 90 - 93, then returned to do PGCE Early Years 1999-2000

93 - 97, based at Pond Street.

Is SHU different than the University of Sheffield
I left Sheffield in 66 so I am not cognizant of these things.

SHU = Sheffield Hallam University, formerly Sheffield City Polytechnic.

University of Sheffield is the original university, the main site being Brook Hill.

Was on the pond st site when it was the sheff poly 71 - 73 doing my commis chef qualification

so, were any of you guys in any of the clubs and societies?

The fencing club, suprisingly.

I didn't leave that long ago really, 2001- 2004 studying law at Collegiate Crescent :)

Off to Sheffield Uni in Sept :clap:

I was at SHU 93 - 97.
School of Urban and Regional Studies @ Herriot House and the main block

Ahhhh - the good old days:)

2003 - present :P

Software Engineering :)

one year left to do after my placement year I'm currently doing :D

I have just realised that this thread doesn't reject people like me who went to the place before it was changed to SHU.

I was at sheffield poly from around 1987 to around 1992 but I can't remember the exact dates. I studied electronic engineering, and when I got back from a year's placement the department had been merged with the maths department and instead of being part of the good old fashioned worthy sounding "electronic engineering department" we became the arty farty "school of engineering I.T."

I spent a lot of time with my friends in Broomgrove Hall of residence and we used to use the dining room at weekends for a rock band rehersal hall. In 1988 five of us bought a big house on ecclesall road, ( well someone's mum set up a mortage really and we all paid him rent! )

In my first year I joined the Role playing society so I could play the water pistol gangster game "killer?", but all the people in the society were geeks and I felt dirty and uncomfortable if I went to a meeting.

During lectures I used to clown about a bit at first and was always hanging around with the group of long hairds. I got the impression that some of the other lads on the course arranged reunion meetings in the last weeks and didn't include us, he he!

BA Communication Studies at Collegiate Crescent 1990-93.

city campus 2001-2004
financial services degree
:( to have left

So nobody on this thread has found anybody they know yet then?

It looks like the only person there when I was is MuddyCoffee :confused:

(I quite agree about the re-focusing of the whole thing when it stopped being a Poly and changed into a money machine BTW :mad: )

My hubby was at the school of engineering, city campus from 1998 - 2002. He had a year out due to illness.

His degree was a BEng (Hons) Electronics with Computer Engineering.

My house is now a haven for anything with a circuit board!!!

Arrrggghhhhhhhhhh:gag:

Pond Street Site from 2000 to 2005 doing a B.Eng in Mechanical Engineering.

My favourite lecturer was Terry Campbell. He knew how to make a lecture interesting, and what knowledge he had. I was dissapointed that he wasn't there for graduation.

i studied (part time) law in 1999 - left and went back a couple of times....lol.....but ended up packing it in 2002 cos i had year old twins and no time to study.

not that the lecturing staff gave me any slack.......when my year old son was in hospital i was told i couldnt have an extension on my course work cos ''ill children are part of daily life - you need to consider this and allow for it''. quote from a lecturer.

so i left:mad:


prior to that i started a Ba Applied Social Studies in 93, but got a perfect job offer for a nursing job in australia.....so left after first year.



me? short attention span??

Just thought this could do with a bump - after so many more have joined the forum :wave:

It seems we no longer attract people of graduate calibre :roll:
