Falmouth University is amazing! It has everything you need to have a fantastic university experience. The countryside and outdoor spaces situated around the university make the setting of the university amazing. Studying and wellbeing can be combined because where else can you study on campus in a lovely on site cafe, and have a cup of tea at the same time? The students union and onsite facilities like the library are incredible and extensive. The library is a great size and library staff are always on hand to assist if need be. The beaches nearby are lovely. The majority are blue flag and provide great places to hang out with friends. The level of teaching at the univeristy is amazing. On my course all my lecturers have extensive career and work experience which provide excellent input into our lectures and seminars, deeping my understanding of the course and modules. If I were to think of one thing to be improved it would probably be improved transport links to the university, (more frequent buses, cheaper tickets etc) but this is not even directly the universities fault. If you are looking for a university in a lovely setting, a diverse and welcoming student community and a great selection of courses and facilities, Falmouth University is for you! I am even planning on completeing a masters at the university in the future.

An amazing aspect of my course is that we are provided with a large amount of fieldtrips to attend, as well as working frequently with the Eden Project. The combination of these two aspects allow for much better real-world skills and knowledge. It is also helping us to make connections with employers early on.

Overall during my experiene at the Sidings in my first year of study, I did feel safe and secure, however, like most halls mine were not the most well kept. Upon moving in it was apparent that parts of my room were very mouldy and damp. They did not do much about it other than tell me to air my room, however, it was already beyond the point of being able to air to remove dampness. I ended up getting the supplies to remove the mould myself. Despite this, once dealing with the inital mould problems I did not have any further issues. Small things like my door getting stuck were swiftly dealt with by the accomodation team, who noted and dealt with maintanence quickly. The wifi was really good, all rooms had ethernet availability and it is included with rent prices. In terms of location the university is a 20 minute walk away, most up steps so not the most accessible to those with accessibility needs. There is a more flat/accessibility friendly route to the uni but takes about 35 minutes overall. The bus stop is right outside and it takes 5 minutes to reach campus. Plus, the Sidings is the only accomodation which is RIGHT next to the train station so is a really good accomodation for those who need to travel up country frequently. There is also a beryl bike rank right outside for those who wish to use it. I opted for mixed halls, so I had an equal split of boys and girls, three and three and the communal spaces were large enough to accomodate us all fairly.

Best is the inclusive culture and the small sizes allow for students to be treated as individuals as opposed to just a number.

New course needs more establishment

The condition needs updating.
