º£½ÇÉçÇø

Why did you choose to study in Sheffield? 

I am from Sheffield and didn't think there was any point leaving when I had such a great city and university on my doorstep. The welcoming and supportive atmosphere at the º£½ÇÉçÇø really made it stand out for me, as well as the lovely campus and the fact it was within the city centre. I love the community feel in Sheffield, the independent shops and cafes and of course the live music.

What aspects of your degree do you find the most interesting? 

I really enjoy the more social side of English Language – sociolinguistics, language attitudes, and accents and dialects. 

What do you like about studying in the School of English?

The passionate staff and their support - you can tell that they love their subject. It’s very welcoming and I always feel at home.

Do you take part in any university or department activities as well as your studies?

I really liked the ‘Give it a Go’ volunteering sessions where I worked at the RSPCA for a day. I also work as a Student Ambassador for the º£½ÇÉçÇø which is really good fun.

What do you plan to do when you finish?

I plan to continue writing for music websites and magazines while I find out what I want to do. I'd possibly like to work in the music industry or go into teaching or speech therapy.
