Erasmus Experience in Sheffield, United Kingdom by Marvin

Why did you choose to go to Sheffield, the United Kingdom?

Sheffield is a super interesting university city. In it's time, it was the city in which there was a lot of iron, it is home to many famous bands and there are two universities: Sheffield University, one of the United Kingdom's top ten universities and Hallam University. It's the best experience I've had in terms of education.
