What students say about media-studies

Love the ability to use all the facilities whenever I wish to use them and being trained on things for my course has been so cool! The parking is a pain- I can’t park on the uni until 10- but my lecturers start at 9 so it doesn’t work. I then have to park elsewhere unless I wanted to pay a fine (which I have already had to do because I didn’t have a permit). If I could park from 8 this would be a great help pls thank you

What students say about media-studies

The best parts of my university experience: The opportunity to learn from experts, access to amazing resources, and being in an intellectually stimulating environment. The diversity on campus, with people from all over the world, makes it really enriching. Also, the chance to be more independent and responsible – you really learn to manage your time and organize yourself. And of course, there are tons of networking opportunities that can help you with internships, jobs, and future connections. The worst parts: The stress and pressure can be overwhelming sometimes – tight deadlines, exams, and assignments can lead to burnout. The cost of education is another big issue – tuition fees, accommodation, and living expenses are really high, and it can be hard to manage financially. Also, in bigger universities, it can sometimes feel like you're just a number, and getting personal attention from professors can be tough. Lastly, while the academic side is solid, there isn’t always enough practical learning – more hands-on experience or real-world projects would be helpful. How things could be improved: Better mental health support would definitely help students deal with stress and pressure. Making education more affordable would also be a huge improvement, whether that’s through scholarships or reducing tuition fees. Smaller class sizes or more seminars would make a big difference too, as it would allow for more personal interaction with professors. More career services, internships, and job fairs would also be great to help students transition to the workforce. Finally, integrating more practical skills into the curriculum would give students more real-world experience and make the education feel more relevant to their future careers.

What students say about media-studies

In herts you will experience multicultural society where you grt chance to interact with each other everyone is so friendly. The only worst experience i am having is timetable and class timing in uk every uni has 2 to 3 days classes and mostly online but here we have 4 days physical classes that really is difficult for majority of students other than uni of herts 10/10❤️🫶🏻
