What students say about chemistry

Most of the lecturers are lovely and really helpful. There’s been lots of student events to keep it a fun and exciting time and take the pressure off studying. The library is great but can be difficult to find somewhere to study when it’s busy

Best parts = The School of Management Building is a fantastic place to work and network with like-minded individuals. Also, the SU is brilliant for similar reasons and the library is a great location to concentrate. Playing sport is incredibly fun too at the University's fantastic facilities. Worst part = The bus journey to campus from Oldfield can be very tedious and difficult. Some buses get cancelled and the journey can be heavily delayed.

What students say about chemistry

The campus is absolutely beautiful, with lovely green spaces and impressive buildings that really create a great atmosphere for studying and hanging out with friends. The facilities are great, too. Plus, the student life here is vibrant, with tons of clubs and events that make it easy to meet people and get involved. However, there are some challenges. Financial support for students from working-class backgrounds can be quite limited, which can lead to stress and make it harder to fully participate in everything the university has to offer. Living in Exeter can also be pricey, with high rents and general costs adding to the financial burden. Overall, it’s a mixed bag, but I’ve definitely enjoyed my time at Exeter!

The location in central London not far from where the UKs decisions are made is amazing. The library has most of the resources I need and if you can’t find something the library staff will happily try and make it available. The thing where the uni lets us down the most is admin.

What students say about chemistry

Best is the people and the quality of the education, worst has to deal with who runs UCL, administration has quite a few dirtbags. Facilitates aren't the greatest. I prefer more of a traditional campus feel and prefer KCL and LSE campus. Still considering coming back to UCL to apply for a LLM, alongside the other London unis, and maybe throw my shot at oxbridge.

Very highly motivated cohort of people studying together. Amount of collaboration between students is good. Towards end of term as deadlines approach, there is a large in red in general stress of students also suffering from fatigue and burnout.

What students say about chemistry

I really appreciate the library for its peaceful environment, which is perfect for focusing on my studies. However, I've noticed a few areas that could be enhanced for a better experience. For instance, it's great that there are vending machines on the ground floor to grab a quick sandwich or water when hungry, but the absence of a microwave and a water heater is a bit of an inconvenience. This is especially true for times when someone, particularly girls during their menstrual cycle or anyone with a stomachache, might need warm food or a hot drink. It would be wonderful if the school could consider adding these facilities to make our library time even more comfortable.

Great buildings and location with great transport links to major cities. Being taught by people who are the best in that field and being able to contribute to their research at an early time in your studies. The tutorial system with very few people in classes making learning much more interactive.
