Greetings to whoever is reading this. My name is Adreena, but if that’s too long, you can call me Add. I am a 2nd year Civil and Structural Engineering student, born and raised in Malaysia. I especially enjoy eating, actually any kind of dish, just eating in general! Besides enjoying consuming calories, I also enjoy meeting people. Studying in Sheffield has given me the platform to engage with people from all around the world. I feel very blessed.
WHY DID I CHOOSE CIVIL AND STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING?
To me, civil engineering is something that makes me feel that I am in a world which will never end, it only expands and exceeds with new discoveries. Personally, I didn’t know much about the field and it is amazing just how much I have learnt on this course. From tension and compressions, to pipes and wastewater, transportation networks, roadways, railway design, bridges to skyscrapers. I feel that civil engineering is such a huge subject area to cover and it can help you make huge improvements to society and the environment. The modules I have taken have taught me so many things I was eager to learn about.

Have I mentioned Sheffield is cheap? The living expenses here are very affordable! Moreover, our Students’ Union is Number 1 in the UK. This is something I am very proud of as we have the best facilities and it is a very conducive place to study.
