This year's Love Island winners Jack and Dani even joined students for a meet and greet from 5pm '“ 7pm. 

A quick glance on Twitter would suggest the event went down a treat with many students spending a chunk of their loans on new clothes and treats. 

However, there was one resounding theme reverberating through social media following the event. 

And that was that Meadowhall was very, very busy.

Supertram warned passengers that trams across Sheffield would be much busier than normal as a result of Student Night and told customers to allow extra time for their journey.

Extra services were put on from Meadowhall to the Cathedral for the event as well as three extra trams an hour between Cathedral and Tinsley. 

However, many commuters were still left frustrated with how '˜unusually busy' their trams were. 

Melissa Jayne tweeted: 'I couldn't get into work tonight because I had to let 10 trams go. There was no chance of getting on the Meadowhall tram! I'm not very happy about it!.'

Beth tweeted: 'Getting a tram after work when it's been the student night at Meadowhall was a big mistake.'

Hayley Grice tweeted: 'Don't think I could of chosen a worse night to pick my orders up from Meadowhall... student lock in night never left so fast!'
