I absolutely loved my time at Leicester, so much so I'm still here working as an intern. The geography department was outstanding, with interesting material, loads of careers advice, fantastic trips and above all a really close-knit and supporting dynamic between the students and the lecturers. They genuinely listened to the students during my time there, and really pushed to make sure you were happy and confident in your studies. Halls were great, not always the most beautiful buildings, but a great place to live with everyone right on your doorstep. Catered was also a really great choice, despite my initial reservations. The only drawback I would say is that after 3 years some of the nightlife gets very samey. A lot of people don't mind, but I generally wouldn't have kept going to the SU nights if there was much other choice. That said the city centre has a few better places, and it's also incredibly easy to do nights out in Loughborough, Birmingham or Nottingham. Daytime city centre of Leicester was lovely. Generally a really friendly and beautiful place, with lovely parks and lots of facilities. Would highly recommend/

The library is brilliant, open 24/7 and the staff are really helpful. My course and the staff on my course were excellent and always willing to meet or discuss anything at all, nothing was too much trouble. The facilities are great and they’re always improving them too, and the campus has lots of green space and spots to sit outside too.

I really enjoyed the way my course was taught, lots of variety and the lecturers were clearly passionate about their subject and made it interesting to learn. Especially Katie Bennett and Matt Wilde are amazing. Online resources were good and contact hours were always clearly stated.

Amazing diversity, food choices and things to do in Leicester. The city is a great size as it’s not too big so easy to walk everywhere. I also love the range of shops in the centre and especially in HighCross mall. Some parts are rough and I would not feel safe walking through at night.

The halls were expensive however the facilities were excellent, so clean and new. Lovely room layout and ensuite. The kitchen hobs at Opal Court are induction and that was not made obvious to me so that was slightly annoying as I needed special pans.
