What students say about architecture-building-planning

The staff and students around the campus are always so welcoming and friendly. It really makes me enjoy where I’m studying. I think something that could be improved is the university’s response to student based issues.

What students say about architecture-building-planning

I love the campus and the atmosphere we have. its a beautiful place to study and i have enjoyed my time here. All the staff are wonderful, I have a brilliant supervisors and enjoy my course. I have learnt a lot whilst at Lancaster However, i find that the student union is broken, it does not uphold its own beliefs. The societies may work but the actual student union body is useless. it needs and overhall, and needs attention brought to the actions of the staff and how people follow their regulations.

What students say about architecture-building-planning

Mmu has strong academic reputation, excellent industry links like Siemens and employability . They have cutting edge facilities: state of the art labs are amazing! I love their commitment to sustainability; they are ranked as one of the best. The university could be improved : They need to improve in library services They need to have more rooms for studying They definitely would need more pc rooms! As they are always occupied when I need one, especially during exam times The library needs to get the books back in ; the books gave the library character and a reason for student to come to the library Other than this, Mmu is amazing!

What students say about architecture-building-planning

The fact that the university is ideally located in the city center makes things much easier. Additionally, the gym program, designed specifically for students with very affordable prices, allows me to stay in shape throughout the academic year. As for bad experiences, I haven’t had any personally, as I simply attend my classes, work out, and then go home.

What students say about architecture-building-planning

The lecturers are really approachable and want you to succeed. It feels really inclusive and diversity is appreciated. Being so close to Manchester there's lots going on and good transport links. The only real criticism I have is the use of online lectures, how ever much they try, they aren't as condusive to learning as in person lectures are especially if you have difficulties with concentration. I understand that universities are trying to find ways to cut costs but I feel that this detracts from the whole student experience both academically and socially.

What students say about architecture-building-planning

The university takes a long time to respond to claims. Also feedback is given back sparsely and it takes a long time to get back which makes it difficult to improve for future assignments. The labs are very nice and it is good that we are learning multiple different techniques. The student life and feel is also very nice. And even though there is limited study space on campus especially during exam time, if you get to the library early enough you will find a seat somewhere.

What students say about architecture-building-planning

It is a clean campus with lovely views and great tutors that are genuinely helpful and understanding. There are lots of clubs that you can join according to your interests and posters with information on to get help and support, which I think it very good to have visible. The selection of courses are fantastic and you can find out about them with ease from the website or staff as they are all friendly and very nice to speak with about concerns or questions. The smoking areas are a mess and over crowded with younger students that can quite literally get away with pretty much anything, they get a verbal warning and that's it. From verbal abuse to things being thrown at you to being shoved hard, they get away with it to outright bulling I have seen in front of me within these areas is alarming. Getting on the bus at the end of the day feels like a appointment with a near death experience as the naughty kids fights to get to the back of the bus, again pushing, shoving and elbowing is common practice, and for some reason none of them can just keep a seat belt on. But, when it comes to safe guarding it is sadly extremely lacking I have (and others) have had issues with other students sending inappropriate images or messages, even with proof and an email from the police they are still in attendance. I never got any follow up or help with this. I find this disappointing and disheartening as it does make me feel less safe on campus as though any issues will not be dealt with in a firm professional manner.

What students say about architecture-building-planning

i love how social it is, that it's all one campus and there is always something going on. I don't think there are enough study spaces (group/social ones in particular), oftentimes it is really difficult to find a space unless you go early in the morning and get one.
