My overall experience has been fantastic, I've enjoyed learning and watched my grades improve, I have also been involved in societies and live in halls, where I met my best friends , joined the gym to keep fit and have live the full uni experience going town and even working in he city centre too. I am hoping my final year will be just as good

My university has given me plenty of career ideas and paths to go down into, however I personally don't feel prepared but I know the u offers more career advice if I need it

My favourite thing about my course is how I am able to choice my modules and have more choices than any other course

I think it's needs to be more in the centre of town or another additional one for Murray. There should also be more advertising and encouragement to because it is alway too quiet

My accommodation is spacious, but is lacking in location and maintenance

They are very good, there was a lack of quality cameras for photography in the year 2013/14 but that has been sorted out

The city is small and it would be good to have more of a night life, but overall it is good, there are events for every bodies tastes and a community feeling including the whole university in with the town

The clubs and societies are good, but some sports are less inclusive than the others, but would encourage everyone to try and it gives you a better university experience, Wednesday night's are better when your in a society and would encourage going on tour

Personal support is lacking, I lost a very close friend during my second year, and had heard nothing from support, neither has any of his closest friends, the Uni should of had a closer look into his group of friends rather than just his current flat mates

I am enjoying uni so far and I am immersing myself well, working hard but making sure to give myself a break now and again. The university really has been a part of me having such a good time during my first semester. I have been welcomed and I have been nurtured. I am well organised and well taken care of.

There are plenty of employability events such as job seeking advice and CV improvements, along with an entire week devoted to employability (last week; Nov 13th - 17th). Students Union provide advice about this and can help with securing a work placement or job.

I enjoy the directness and the avoidance of too many questions in lectures as it allows you to really focus and knuckle down with your work. Sometimes the rooms are too big and can look a little daunting, but it's to accommodate the anticipated amount of students, so I sort of understand it. The professors are excellent and really know their subjects, with seminars being extremely helpful in allowing us to further explore ideas and concepts and to add even more knowledge in. Power points are the go-to and they do their job. They are aesthetically pleasing and they are always available after the lectures themselves.

I don't really get involved because there's nothing that I feel they aren't doing, but it's not my cup of tea to be a part of from a more instructional/constructional role. The union however is great, they are known and they ensure that they are heard, through posters, through short presentations, online newsletters, etc. Easy to find from the website if they were needed and they seem to provide everything that the modern day student could need.

There are plenty of computers and plenty of cafes, as well as excellent library facilities which I have taken advantage of many a time. I cannot vouch for a lot of the facilities as they are available only to certain courses, but for media we have a cinema and an entire building built for the role purpose of the media. Food is sometimes a bit of a let down, that would be the only thing for me, as I feel like at the University, there isn't a lot of choice and it would be great if a well-known business decided to set up shop on the campus that I attend.

The city life is alive, with plenty of bars and clubs to drink in, a massive shopping centre, Newcastle just down the road as well. We are definitely not deserted at UOS, there are so many things to do and see, with Durham Lumiere just been on and Christmas markets coming up soon. Plenty of culture.

I am part of the choir and next year I wish to also join the archery club. They are well organised and they have plenty of reps available to speak to, with Facebook pages there for any further reading or questions. So many different clubs and societies to choose from, pretty much anything you could think about with things that you couldn't think about on top of that! Something for everyone and I think that's really important!

My personal tutor is brilliant who really takes interest in what you have to say and any concerns that you have. The professors are excellent also, and they will reply to emails ASAP, dealing with so many students, it's really remarkable how quickly they manage to get back to you sometimes.

I'm not too sure, obviously not as I am very badly clued in. There was a DMKS stand the other day which I found out about through another student during a seminar, allowing me to go and sign up, but other than that I haven't really heard much.
