Sheffield, good? Bad?

I'm thinking of living in Manchester or Sheffield when I head over to the U.K, just wanted to get some opinions if anyone has lived there. The prices just seem very affordable for renters.

Thanks!!

Hey, I am not so sure about Manchester. Has a bit of a poor reputation but I havnt spent any time there beyond the airport. I did, live in Sheffield for a few years and I have to say that I really liked it. There are of course good and bad areas, but in general its a great town with everything I wanted. Night life can be a bit 'crazy' when compared with Canada. West st. on the weekends will seem a bit wild. There are 2 large universities in a fairly small city.
Norfolk park..fancy, leafy. Broomhill..semi leafy, close to U of Sheff. Hunters Bar..funky, studenty, lively. City Centre..Lots of new flats, cool area.

Sheffield is a beautiful city. Green, with gorgeous redevelopment in the centre. Has a cultural life - theatres, galleries; the music scene is fantastic, everyone plays some kind of instrument; 2 universities; most cuisines available.

People are lovely, down-to-earth, really warm and welcoming, particularly compared to Londoners (well that's my main comparison).

S is near the Peak District too, which is just breathtaking - gentle green hills/valleys, dotted with purple heather. Instantly calming. Hiking is big.

Would live there if life didn't take me elsewhere.

I've lived in Sheffield for many years and as I am very familiar with Vancouver that if you like living in Van then you will definitely like Sheffield, Great town center, good music scene and generally a nice city to live in, also not far from major towns such as Manchester, Nottingham etc.

Sheffield is a great city with 2 big Universities and lots going on. I lived in Manchester for 3 years and loved it. There are areas of Manchester, like an city which would not be ideal to live in but it has so much to offer and I would highly recommend both cities.

Manchester is by far the bigger city, and has quite a big city feel.

Somehow Sheffield feels a lot smaller than it actually is and hasn't become trendy in the way Manchester has.

Whichever you go for, they're within easy reach of each other.
