I’ve come to the end of my time studying at Sheffield Hallam (for now at least), which means I’ll no longer be a part of the #hallaminsiders team (sad face). So I wanted to write a little farewell post, with some of my highlights and what I’ve enjoyed about the role. My journey with #hallaminsiders…

We’re all crazy busy, it’s just a fact of life. You’ve got this deadline and that deadline, 9am lectures and mid-week trips to Bierkeller. Course based activities are only a very small part of what you can and should get involved in during your time at Sheffield Hallam. Believe me, three or four years at…

I loved doing my dissertation. Okay so, at the time I wasn’t sat there thinking, “this is so much fun” but, the more I researched into my topic and the more I put down my key arguments in writing, the more I enjoyed what I was doing. Lots of Sheffield Hallam students will now be…
As I’m currently living away from Sheffield for a while, and commuting to classes for my masters, I’m seeing Sheffield in new ways and really appreciating the City, and all it has to offer on the days when I’m here. So, I wanted to write a post about my personal favourite spots in Sheffield, what…
