Tell us about your overall university experience so far.
The accommodation is pretty good, and the fact that it's close to the facilities makes it a lot easier to get around. As an international student, it was hard to navigate at the start, but everyone is really helpful, and since this university prides themselves on being very open and welcoming to internationals, there are a lot of resources and guides everywhere, so that made it a lot easier. Tutors are amazing, they don't just want us to do assignments and study, they want us to get the experiences and skills needed for our future jobs, and they are very industry-oriented, meaning they talk to us about the finances and business side of things, which already proved to be really helpful. There is a lot of top grade equipment students can use for free, you get to work in a studio and use programs that are used by mostly everyone in the business. Overall, I've had a good time here and would encourage people to come here as well, especially international students.

I already talked about my course, but it is really good, and I am really satisfied with it. Tutors are all amazing and have a lot of experience, the classes are very detailed and we learn about a lot of different things, like marketing, branding, finances, etc. We don't have a lot of classes weekly, compared to some other courses, but that's because we are encouraged to go into our facilities by ourselves and work on our assignments and projects outside of coursework. All the lecturers are available via e-mail, and are easy to get in contact with.

Hatfield isn't a city like London, but it is pretty. I typically don't go out into town that much, but from what I've seen so far, there's everything you need, and getting to other cities from here is pretty easy, for example, you can get to London within 30-40 minutes.

What do you think about the safety, condition, location and cost of your accommodation?
The prices vary on which room you choose, but it is mostly very worth it, because you don't have to worry about bills and stuff like that. It is also close to the facilities and makes it easier to get around. All of my friends are close to me as well, since we're all in the halls. The rooms are really good, and have a lot of storage. It really depends on the person, like how much space you need, do you mind sharing a living space with strangers, do you care about the decorating limitations... Also, sometimes you can get bad neighbours, they could be loud. But overall, for the price, I'd say I'm pretty satisfied.
