JMinSheff   10 #1 Posted September 15, 2017 Just a quick reminder that intro/freshers' week starts on Monday, so this weekend is likely to be particularly busy with new students arriving in the city.  Term officially starts next Monday, so second and third years will be coming back over the next week or so.  Might want to make alternative plans if you're thinking of travelling around the city much, particularly around Endcliffe/Broomhill!

Useful for all new students to know.  http://www.helpushelp.uk/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Hogg   10 #8 Posted September 16, 2017 I do like it when the students arrive - it reminds me of very happy days when I first left home and went to University in the 1970's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
WalkleyIan   10 #9 Posted September 16, 2017 Yeah Traffic is really bad around Town, Eccy Rd, University Roundabout, Hanover St etc  Yeah, it's not just the usual west side areas as more places open up in the city. Total traffic chaos this afternoon on Wellington St outside the student accommodation there.  Its just one-weekend though.  I notice a few have already discovered the Walkley Beer Co. Full of new faces last in there last night.  Good to have them back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Ridgewalk   95 #11 Posted September 17, 2017 Young people many of them far from home, leaving familiar surroundings and family for the first time in their lives, my granddaughter being one of them, let's hope the people of Sheffield help make their stay a happy one.  Hope there aren't too many curmudgeon comments such as the one above about " testing car brakes" with meandering Students crossing roads. As far as it goes I think the Students crossing Ecclesall road, the ones I've seen anyway, do so at appropriate places Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
