What students say about biology

University of Hull has a beautiful and serene environment suitable for learning and even relaxing. The lecturers are very warm and receptive. Things that could be improved: student union (I don’t really see what they do, I’m sorry); the university should make arrangements with more landlords in order to make students living easier; Timetable should be more flexible (we asked for a change in my department but nothing was done)

What students say about biology

the university is very welcoming with a fantastic social scene and provides many opportunities for students in most courses that aren’t accessible in a lot of other places. You can feel the university’s prestige and history without the worry of a class divide as there is a diverse scene of students. The one worst aspect of glasgow university is the struggle to find a space to study at certain times of day. There isn’t too many facilities for studying on campus considering the size of the university and the number of students they host.

One of the best aspects of the campus is the overall campus location and how everything is evenly placed. Also, the facilities, such as the library and Canvas, are of great support for a healthy studying environment. However, some places for improvement could be a big relief for students. 1) An on-campus A big cafeteria, like a mess kitchen, would be a great addition where students can easily find multiple meals for lunch and dinner, which could be affordable and with a great variety in the menu. 2) A shop or a small supermarket where groceries can be easily accessible so that students living on campus don't have to go through the hassle of going to the city centre for basic things.

The campus is very good. It is a great place to study. Overall very positive. My only slight complaint was that student support is perhaps a little under staffed. (Although the staff are helpful themselves).

What students say about biology

WIFI is absolutely awful and there are many dead zones around campus. How can a top-level engineering university provide such poor internet connection, especially when all of our assignments are internet based and due online? I am constantly searching for places around campus with any useable connection and the VPN speeds when you're off campus are just unusable. It's the year 2024. How have we not figured this out yet? It's absolutely unaccusable. You have the money to build an entire new campus, but can't fix the internet at your main campus? Awful.

What students say about biology

The University of Hertfordshire has great facilities, but there are quite a few unnecessary procedures that could be streamlined, such as booking appointments for even the smallest matters. My experience so far has been disappointing from an academic perspective. I was expecting better quality education, but instead, most of the lectures consist of simply reading from PowerPoint slides, and the practical sessions have been far from engaging. While I understand that self-study is important, not all students, especially international ones like myself, have prior industrial experience or expertise. It's crucial that the university recognizes this and provides clearer, more detailed information about the curriculum, how exams work, and what is expected in terms of assessments. Relying solely on self-study and putting too much responsibility on the students isn’t fair, especially when we're paying for a quality education.

What students say about biology

I find the location, community and campus feel very peaceful and relaxing, and the education provided is good quality and varied. There could be more support for students who struggle to fit in with the student body, e.g., more help and encouragement to join societies or opportunities to socialise with peers.

What students say about biology

The overall experience at Middlesex University has been positive, especially the diverse community and supportive lecturers. One area for improvement could be additional assistance for international students such as more in-person guidance for visa, accommodation, or part time job support. It would also be helpful if the university organized more career fairs and internship opportunities.

The best aspects of the University of Southampton is the great opportunities, e.g. societies and guest talks. I love going sailing on the Solent every other week and frequently running around the beautiful common. Similarly, new guest come to talk about their roles and how to get into their roles which is very beneficial for career development. There are no bad aspects that I have experienced so far.

The SU and student life were probably the weakest parts of my university experience, but this is likely in part due to the small size of Aberystwyth. There were a range of societies but many stopped and restarted at various points. The campus has a great atmosphere and is just the right size!
