I would say that University of Chester is home for me as I completed my undergraduate degree in the same university and it was a wonderful time for me. I expected to have a safe and supportive environment to study my Masters degree. This, I can confidently say I have enjoyed.

I must commend them on how well they have managed to deliver the programme given the peculiarity of this year. The support has been encouraging. Through out the lockdown, I had a staff check in with me every week and it was helpful.

I think the room size is decent. The location is perfect as it gives you easy access to City Centre. I also consider it to be secure. Personally, the WiFi connection is not the strongest in my room but it’s pretty good everywhere else.

I have gained a lot of co-curricular experience as well as academic achievement. Although I don't think it is counted as a vibrant university life, sometimes I like the quiet but ongoing student life.

Very good initiative in providing wellbeing support to students, checking in on students living in university accommodation during first lockdown.

Very accessible to local food shops and supermarkets, there are a few walking parks around my accommodation area; there a long walking distance to the bus and train station.

Lots of independent learning time, flexibility to pursue subjects of interest. Lectures are usually in blocks of a day. Needs a lot of initiative to contact for academic help, but usually lecturers and tutors are happy to do so!

Weekly seminars, workshops, annual careers fest, lots of volunteering opportunities. Chester Difference Award is a good initiative to encourage students to increase their employability and skills.

Accommodation is very close to the main campus. Spacious and comfortable bedroom, shared kitchen and dining is spacious and encourages housemates to sit together. Inside the house is hazard free, the doors are safety equipped so I feel safe inside too. Quite affordable for a comfortable living space
