We provide an airport welcoming service, 'Meet and Greet' during Intro Week which operates from the 16 September to 23 September 2001 - from Manchester International Airport and Sheffield Airport. Students are recommended to book their flight through to Manchester rather than the London airports. For flights arriving in London it is a good idea to book an onward shuttle to Manchester when buying your trans-Atlantic ticket. Full pre-arrival information is sent out in July to students holding a place at Sheffield. This information is comprehensive and should be studied carefully.
Students can buy a special card to qualify for discounts.
The bus service in Sheffield is extensive and reasonably priced. The academic campus and the Halls of Residence are within 20-25 minutes walking distance. Many students do walk. The academic campus is a 15 minute walk from the city centre. All students are eligible for treatment at the University Health Service .
