The University of Sheffield Students Union has been awarded the “Best” students’ union in the UK at the Whatuni Student Choice Awards 2022.
The Whatuni Student Choice Awards is an annual university awards event based on student views. A hub where student voices are represented and collected through 35,000 verified university reviews – displaying the unbiased, honest views of students studying at university.
The awards were a triple celebration with the University also ranking in the top three UK universities in the University of the Year category and second in the Student Life category.
Evie Croxford, Sheffield Students’ Union President 2021-22, said: “I’d like to say a huge thank you to the students who took the time to review us.
“It’s our students who make Sheffield Students’ Union into the wonderful community it is, and I’m so proud that we continue to get recognized for that on a national level year after year!”
The Students’ Union (SU), located at the heart of the University campus, is a charity dedicated to uplifting student experiences. Home to over 350 student-led societies, the University of Sheffield’s Students’ Union offers shops, venues for live entertainment and club nights, places to eat, drink, study and socialize, a nursery, sustainability stores, and a 400-seat cinema. It provides a hub where students from across the world can come together to try new activities, access advice, and support, make friends, and try something new.
