My overall experience of university so far has been great, I am thoroughly enjoy the experience here at Northumbria University, I have joined multiple societies and the university acknowledges that students have a socia life outside of classes and so they try to give students a weekday off

I think the facilities at my uni are great, they have a trading room which I can go into at any point if it’s free and use which is a great help for my course

The personal councilling is great at university as there are help desks dotted around the university, the academic support is quite good however I feel they could offer more personal academic support

I think the student union do a lot to help students and they offer a wide range of societies

The city life is great as it’s Newcastle so it’s well known for its student life

The societies at university are really including and they have a wide range with a Society for everything you can think of, however if you want to set one up then you can easily set one up

I like the independence that they offer however, I feel like the tutors could take more time going through the work

They have a placement office where you can go to find a placement

It’s quite nice and the reception staff are very kind and helpful

It has been a good experience so far, though the first weeks were very boring and too slow. It felt like they were trying to convince you to attend the university even though you already were. Since then, it has improved greatly as there has been more and more things to do and learn. The university gym is also good and can promote a healthy lifestyle.

Pretty good, for my course we have access to the Bloomberg terminals which is extremely interesting. We also have a very large library and access to information from home by blackboard and online resources.

I haven't been here long enough to have much feedback, but so far it has been good.

I don't get involved because I live at home so it would be more difficult for me to attend the student union events.

I'm not sure, I don't live in the city so I have a limited opinion. Nice from what I have heard.

I'm not sure. I'm not in any.

I like the mathematical side of the course the most and how there is a definite correct answer. I least like the parts of the course that are up for lots of debating, meaning that there is no right answer.

We have the choice to go on placement years and also to be able to use the facilities in our own time. This means we can become more independent in our learning. It also put us in teams and encourages work like behaviour.
