Perhaps you might wanna ask questions so that we answer it with what we know. That's easier. As azarimy said, there are alot, i repeat a lot, of Malaysians in Sheffield. So no worries. It is like your second home. One more advice I could give to you. If you love your stuff (expensive ones like electronic gadgets) so much, please go to Student Union and purchase Insurance from a company called Ensleigh (or something like that). I've lost 2 laptops   within 6 months (amazing, rite???!!) but thank god, I insured my laptop. So the insurance company paid 90% of the amount that I insured (10% goes to processing fees). Please take care of your stuff properly. Lock the windows even if you go out for toilet visit. I'm not joking. That time when my laptop got stolen, I was in my friend's room for 5 freaking mins only!!    . Other than that, nothing much to tell. There's Pound shop in The Moor. £1 for freaking BIG Toblerone.. Get your hangers and laundry bag from there too.

And yes, please don't be an @ss making false police report so that you could get a brand new phone (and having the thought of selling the current one to make money). A lot of people are doing that    . What a humilating act.....

For muslim groceries, my friend told me there's shop in Filey Street or Bramhall. Check it out.

If you are lazy to cook, get frozen food from Sainsbury or Tesco. Frozen foods are my supper usually 

Yes. I'm suprised that I could walk pretty much in UK compare to here. Probably is the heat factor. However, get a walking shoes for comfortable reason .

yes... tai sun. but i usually get distracted by forbidden planet just opposite the street. hahaha
hah! i just live upstairs a few lots away on monmouth street.

I haven't been to ASDA b4. I think it's quite far away. So, I opt for Sainsbury as my main supermarket coz it is walking distance    . Budgens is the place where I get my wines   

3 months is short, man. I can't get enough of it even I stayed there for 2 years. It is so peaceful 'cept for at night where drunkards shooting and cursing 'Fook you' 

not forgetting the occasional riot when the local team loses. or ENGLAND. yesterday was pretty scary. lotsa drunks on the streets. anti riot police with dogs, police car/van everywhere. and the best part, a helicopter hovering over sheffield watching the streets like big brother.

I stayed in Gell St.. An apartment opposite Wilkinson St. Stuffs in Budgens are quite pricy too. The funny thing is they are selling pack of 6 eggs for 85 pence while pack of 12 eggs for £1.60 

2. You can get good deals in UK game shop. I bought my Warcraft 3 + TFT for £30 or less

7. Argos is an electrical appliances store. You select what you want from the list, write the code down, and pay. They will give you a ticket and you have wait they call you to collect your stuff. Fun way to buy stuff.

Note: By all means, try to avoid 3G (the brand) even though they offer good packages. Their coverage is quite bad because they are still new in the market.

So only Llyods gives a Visa debit card? Heard that Barclays gives a credit card but must minimum balance of GBP500 or something  
BUt I thot you can only open one students account. So the other banks you applied. are they normal or stuednts acc? But since you're already there for 3 years, easy for you loh.
BTW, were you charged monthly for your HSBC int students acc?

THe O2 contract you're talking about, why are there "special" numbers to call? You mean O2 will not tell you these numbers and you have to search yourself? SOunds like very hush hush only

12 months... is quite long
going there for my final year only.
thanks for the info
