Overall, my expectations have been met!
I had some hasitation about which university to choose and did not want to rush into a wrong decision. Now I can say without any doubts I made a right choice.
Time here is one to remember forever!
Facilities
How good are your university's facilities?
First that sprung to mi mind when I saw the question was our library that opened 24/7. You can use all the computers, printers, books all the time. In addition, we have book store on campus and can buy something needed. Then, we also have our supermarket that is very convenient when you urgently have to buy something. And, of course, we are lucky because we can solve bank questions in our Barclays branch on campus.
Student support
How good is the support offered by the uni? Think both academic (tutors/feedback) and personal (counselling, etc).
In a nutshell, no matter which problem you have you are free to contact to the uni at any time of day and night. Honestly speaking, we are confused at times whom we have to contact because of a huge number of contacts for support.
Students' union
What do you think of your Students' Union in terms of student representation and facilities?
When you become a student of UEA you are automatically considered as a member of the Student Union and I am delighted with it. The Union does all its best to involve all the students to university’s live and not only. We all regularly reserve different emails about upcoming trips or academic events.
Local life
Is your university in a good location in terms of distance to accommodation and local amenities?
Frankly speaking, I have to spend approximately 10 minutes to reach the nearest bus stop. So, that’s why cannot say it’s perfect for me. Besides, the university is located in the countryside and it is also not really convenient. In Norwich we have one more uni that is located right in the town center. In spite of all mentioned, I understand that my university has many buildings and it would be impossible to place all of them in the town.
Societies and Sports
How would you rate the variety of societies/sports?
It goes without any saying that my uni has the best range of activities. If I’m not mistaken we can join about 55 clubs. It’s incredible!
Lecturers and teaching quality
What do you like most and least about the way your course(s) are taught?
I definitely love how supportive our academics are, but at the same time I do not understand why we have to perform some task while getting masters (not bachelors).
How many contact hours per week do you have?
Career prospects
How does your uni make efforts to increase your employability (careers department, work placements, transferable skills)?
No doubt to speak of that UEA is an expert in career support for its students. Apart from having our own Career Center we are having different speakers from various companies all the time. All the students are free to ask any questions and say concerns about career.
University halls
What do you think about the safety, condition, location and cost of your accommodation?
To be honest, it’s the best accommodation ever. There are a lot of reasons for saying this. First of all, it’s not crowded that’s why really safe. Secondly, not at height price and, moreover, with all bills included. What is important, the house is close to the city center and last but not least I have a cat.
So, everybody who comes to my house say “it’s lovely”!
