Students’ Union
You become a member of the Students’ Union once you join Sheffield
Hallam University. Hallam Union is a non-profit organisation, which

How to get to Collegiate Campus – S10 2BP
From City Campus go along Arundel Gate (the Odeon cinema and the University are on your
left) until you get to St Mary’s Road Roundabout. Turn right on the roundabout, taking the
third exit. Stay in the right hand lane at the traffic lights, and turn left (first exit) at the next
roundabout (Waitrose is on your left). You are now on Ecclesall Road. Go past another set of
traffic lights, garage, various restaurants and bars, then turn right onto Collegiate Crescent
after Champs and just before the traffic lights.
Parking
There is no University parking at either campus, however there is plenty of parking in the city
centre near City Campus, but limited parking at Collegiate Crescent Campus. We would
advise visitors to use these facilities and either walk or get a bus to Collegiate Crescent
Campus. Walking would take about 20–25 minutes and would allow you to see more of the
city centre and surrounding area. You can get on the number 80 bus outside City Campus
opposite the Millennium Galleries up to Collegiate Crescent Campus, which run every ten
minutes. Alternatively you could get a bus from Leopold Street (opposite the Town Hall) –
no. 81, 82, 83. 85, 86 and 88.
If you do not wish to park in the city centre, you could make use of Sheffield’s Park and Ride
system.
