Best aspects are the University facilities and the course leaders/lecturers. Cheltenham is safe and nice to live in but the student night life is pretty limited and gets boring after the first few weeks.

The modules are interesting/exciting however a lot of people seem very uninterested and lack inspiration which makes a music course very hard.

I love the Laurie Lee building - especially as it’s open 24/7. I don’t like how a lot of things get broken and take ages to fix. The gate system is very weak and leaves us having to walk around the whole outside of the complex.

Uni has helped a lot with anything I am struggling with, and they are making my gender transition a lot easier. I feel safe on campus and around town, as I know that I have people to support me.

Our course is taught in person, with 12 hours of lectures per week.

From my experience, it is hard to find a part time job as I have been rejected from multiple positions, despite having a years worth of retail experience on my CV. As with many places in the UK right now, the cost of living crisis has made life difficult, and I am reliant on my family to keep myself fed as part time job opportunities are not well available.

It is quite far from any shops and campuses, however it has a beautiful park next door that is great to walk around, and the view by the lake can take off a lot of stress.
