The student support is amazing at both an educational and pastoral level, lecturers and module conveners aim to strive for excellence. Student services and academic mentors also help students to live comfortably and in accordance with their studies. The worst aspects of the uni experience are probably the difficulties associated with independence, adjusting to a different life than at home with less instructions and co-ordination with caregivers. Additionally, adjusting from an A Level/Vocational level study to university study can be difficult. However, those can be managed with help from others at uni.

The best aspects of my course is the teaching method with lectures and lectures led discussions helping to facilitate understanding and knowledge, which compose around 8 hours a week. My course is highly connected with the interdisciplinary fields of social science and so seminars which are around 2 hours a week help to contextualise the taught content within a wider educational context.

Our halls are very unique in the aspect that they are not located on West or East campus but just off West. As a result, the halls allow for residents to develop a good relationship due to the separate location, additionally it is a true reflection of the pictured “student life “. The part which I dislike the most may be that to get to the hall you have to walk across a path which has little lighting and as a result at night it can feel unsafe.

Best aspects - student life and union, it is a gorgeous campus! Worst aspects - university didn't handle covid very well, especially for interactive courses (such as mine that typically have field trips); student housing is very limited both on and off campus

Best aspects - Human geography is very interdisciplinary so there's always some aspect of every class that is enjoyable Worst aspects - because it is so broad, some courses don't feel like they necessarily fit into geography. Additionally, a BSc in human geography would be a nice option to further balance human & physical geography - so far, third year feels a bit too conceptual than previous years in terms of what we are learning about the environment and development and most coursemates I know are not happy with this

Most - very good value for money, rooms were very very nice, almost always felt safe coming back to Halifax on nights out or in the dark Cons - lacking community compared to other colleges like Derwent college, location can be a bit inconvenient
