The best thing about my university is how open they are to student feedback and committed to improving the student experience. The addition of mid-module surveys allows us to have an input on modules whilst we are still learning so that we can actually benefit from the changes too (rather than the focus being on the next set of students). Also, love the creation of Leicester100! I'd say the worst aspect would simply be the cost of campus food as I've seen it rise quite a bit and it does seem to deter students at times from buying food on campus.

The best aspects include the mixture of content through research seminars and lectures, practicals, optional field-trips and workshops (to name a few!). I do think this helps make the content more engaging, particularly in a content-heavy course. The worst aspect would be that when carrying out practicals (specifically in Years 1 and 2), I don't think the significance and reasoning behind the practicals are explained in enough details for students to care about. Hence, it feels like you're just doing it for the sake of learning. I think doing a placement helped to solidify this knowledge but not every student does a placement.

The library and SU are both great places to spend time in between lectures. They're modern and both offer a lot of support. The accommodation is great in first year. Everyone lives close together in our own little community. There is always something to go out to do.

For the first term of first year, we have a weekly meet up with our personal tutor which is really helpful. There's about 5 lectures week and a practical so it is mainly online lectures and work to do.

The hall I live in is in the village so I have to get the bus to the uni. They are fairly regular though and it means that the halls are more spread out with lots of green space and nature. There is also an Asda close by so shopping is easy.
