The uni itself is beautiful and right in the city centre, there is lots to do around Nottingham and it is relatively cheap compared to other areas. Lively food scene and nightlife, and there are lots of parks and other activities in or near the city centre. Support from my tutor and course leaders has been perfect, my one complaint would be the lack of support regarding mental health. My tutor and course leaders have been extremely accommodating and attentive to the needs of disabled or mentally ill students, and counselling is available within the student union, however it is limited to 6 sessions and has a very long waitlist, taking (in my experience) 6 months to get an initial assessment. However, I have made so many friends and received support from both them, and the staff on my course. Would absolutely recommend NTU!

It has multiple different campus’s at different locations on london, which is great for when you want to study. The facilities are always clean and staff are generally very friendly. Majority of lectures I have had have been very helpful and you can learn a lot from them. There are also so many great opportunities to help your career development which is great. I think the social aspect of the university needs improving, there are many societies but a lot of these don’t host many events.

The facilities in Aston university makes it convenient for students to study. The facilities are modern and well maintained and there are multiple areas for group work and quiet study. The location is good as well as everything’s in walking distance like restaurants, shops and job opportunities. This makes it really convenient for students. One area where it could be improved is the parking. During peak times it can be quite difficult to find parking. Improving this for students who commute would make a big difference.

I love this uni. It’s great! What I love so much about it is how close your course is. With each year consisting of very few students you really become a family whereas, other universities you rarely even speak to people on the same course as you! The student life is good but it can be a bit dull due to the lack of student based businesses in Chichester and Bognor meaning that for anything ‘trendy’ you are expected to travel to Portsmouth or the surrounding areas. What I don’t love is the accommodation. The uni has two main off-site accomodations in Chichester and both are not nice places to live. Whilst Fishbourne has better facilities, it is a cold, dire place to live. Stockbridge on the other hand has stained carpets, showers in which you press a button for 30s of water at a time, and tiny kitchens. I am particularly disappointed in the accommodation manager, when I reported a flatmate for aggressive and threatening behaviour and asked not to be identified, he promptly told the flatmate about what I had said. This issue desperately needs to be sorted out. Overall, particularly in the Conservatoire, the uni has been dealing with some big budget cuts causing certain courses to become essentially obsolete and just made to keep funding up. This is really disappointing as it means students are being admitted to a course that wont utilise their talents therefore not preparing them for the industry that they are desperate to enter.

The best thing for me is the student support is very good and open for help and the location for me is perfect because of where I live. I honestly don't have any complaints in terms of worst aspects of it as for me it's good

Leeds Beckett is situated in a great location. Firstly city campus is situated around 10-15 minutes walk from the city centre meaning if you are in first year student halls this is very convenient as many of them are right in the city. Furthermore if you are at Headingley campus you able to hop on the free shuttle to the city centre or if your living in the Carnegie halls, then this is right on your doorstep. Otherwise you are 10 minutes walk from Headingley centre and around 20-25 minutes from Hyde Park which is where many 2nd year and 3rd year students live in student houses. Leeds Beckett has a variety of courses and a great selection of staff on each course, meaning you interact with different lecturers and leaders. Moreover, the societies and student events mean socialising is encouraged and can lead you to make unforgettable memories and lifelong friends. I would say this is probably the best uni for someone to attend due to the close knit community that is created by Leeds Beckett and its location as it is an easy city to find your way round and it very quickly becomes a home away from home that you will be sad to leave.

Best thing is the fantastic 24/7 library that's not just resourceful but also incredibly welcoming with even overnight snacks there for those who spend their time at the library at night! I wish the university had more student accommodation on offer for the international students.

It offers a full range of courses relating to Science. And in the course that I am currently doing, the modules have been changed to be more reflective of what employers want when you graduate, as well as it being reflective of core skills needed for almost every aspect of Biology and Chemistry.
