The location of the university is brilliant, it’s not to far from the big cities such as Leeds and Manchester. The cost of living here is also significantly lower than other universities areas which Is an added bonus, the people in the town area are lovely and it is such a student friendly town as most shops or supermarkets are within 10-15 minutes walking distance. The university itself is good in terms of support that they offer to the students especially as an international student studying nursing, it can get challenging at times but the university tries their best to provide adequate support as needed. The student union is also brilliant as there are events planned for students and there are also awareness programmes that goes on every week. I think the university is good but there are some aspects that needs to be improved. Such as the toilets in the main student areas needs to be frequent cleaned as it’s mostly dirty and emits some offensive smells, the meal options in the university can be improved as they lack a bit in having variety of options. But so far Huddersfield university has been good.

The best part about my course is that it’s very useful as nurses are the backbones of the hospital, the course is hands on 50% theory 50% practical. The facilities and equipments being used to teach the course are helpful and aids in learning. The course theory hours are reasonable, tutors really support the students as they give adequate feedbacks to students about assignments or essay or group work due. And there is an extra support for international students, as the international support team helps international students with academic writing, assignments breakdowns, attendance issues and many other things. The worst aspect of my course is the placement hours, places posted during placement. Although the university supports the students adequately during theory blocks however during placement blocks the support provided isn’t adequate as we are mostly in the hospital during placement and if there are any issues or problems in the placement areas, the university first of all struggles to replay to the complaint made by the student on time or they sometimes struggle to address it, thereby making the student feel helpless.

The university town is perfect for students as it is a student friendly town. Due to its size not being large, the major shops and supermarkets are 10-15 minutes walk from the university as the base. It is also close to the big cities like Leeds and Manchester which is approximately 30 minutes by trains, so all major clothing brands and food stores or apparel can be shopped for there. The town is also and inviting town with the majority of the population being older people, it’s quite and significantly safe.
