Neihub Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I'm a Spanish guy looking for a good place to work and study in England and for the moment, Sheffield is heading the list of cities which could be a good place to live. I've researched and it seems that rental prices aren't very expensive, unemployment rates are low and the student life should be great with two universities. I also like the idea of living in one of the greenest cities of England. Now I'd like to know bad things about Sheffield because so much perfection make me suspect Thank you in advance!

Jeffrey Shaw Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 (edited) We knew that you probably weren't local by birth, as your English is itself perfect. Bienvenido a nuestra ciudad, hombre. No hay mucho mal alli. A los residentes gusta hallar unas pequenas fallas- es todo. Edited July 14, 2011 by Jeffrey Shaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curriechick Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 No negatives, this is a great city to work and study.

zanna Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Ha ha yes your grammar is too good to be a native! For me its just depends on the Area you end up living in…. there are many nice areas, lovely bars and restaurants, good theatre, good location for transport to other cities and airports, not too expensive…. Id say be careful which suburb you live in and if youre looking for city centre shopping or late night eating like with Spanish culture, think again!

Steptoad Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 As a student you'll love Sheffield, in fact there's a good chance you'll become a permanent resident. Sheffield is a great place to live even if the council is trying it's best to make it otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fareast Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Bad things about Sheffield ! Well, that 's a tall order because it IS almost perfect. Admittedly it 's just been reported that the city is £ 650 million pound in debt but that 's a drop in the ocean compared to some European countries. We do get our share of stabbings and shootings on the streets but if you hurry along and pretend you haven 't seen or heard anything, you should be o.k. Similarly, there IS a chance of being mugged or just beaten up by a passing drunk but the police will be around eventually and we have many fine hospitals. You can stroll into our wonderful city centre any Fri. or Sat. night and mingle freely with our young people who enjoy an occasional drink whilst sitting in our hostelries. They can be heard discussing philosophy and culture, like young people the world over. We have lots of fantastic restaurants, within the students ' spending range----- MacDonalds, KFC, Spudulike, GOGOPizza , KebabExpress .........and many, many, many others. Parking is cheap and plentiful on the outskirts of the city and our road system will certainly keep you on the move ! Rotherham and Barnsley, both well-known cultural cities are but a short distance away. Meet our local ' Chavs ' and other teenagers with their exotic language and customs ! Yes.......Sheffield is a wonderful city ........and is representative of our little island Jerusalem ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
