If it was in the central area of Rotherham :ie: ROTHERHAM think it would be a great addition to the rotherham economy ,;ie; students spending cash in the town centre,as it is in the Dearne valley it will not ,especially as many in these areas have little affiliation with Rotherham,and think of themselves as Barnsley or Doncaster,so no, not really this isn,t Rotherhams university centre its theres, another missed opportunity by Rotherham (REAL ROTHERHAM) !!!
