Best: - Most people are lovely and if I have any issues especially with noisy neighbours the accommodation team is fantastic and very quick to help us. - Lovely small campus, it’s very bright and welcoming especially when it’s dark. -Societies are good. - Decent food. Cons: - Buildings close too early - Uni halls are very expensive - some of the buildings need more TLC especially Athena (there are holes in the ceiling)

I've loved studying at the University of Plymouth so far! Staff are really friendly and have always been really happy to help. The SU is great for relaxing between lectures during the day as well as for clubbing on a Saturday night. I'm also really enjoying my course and Plymouth is in a great location to try out fieldwork in different habitats.

The university is award winning and is well connected to major cities like Leeds and Manchester as well as having a new building for health sciences, Daphne Steele. an improvement i would love to see if more social events throughout the year as if you miss freshers week it is difficult to make friends.

Swansea is a really fine place to study. The campus is absolutely stunning, right by the sea, and it feels like you're constantly surrounded by nature. The lecturers are generally good, and I've liked my courses so far. However, the weather can be a bit grim sometimes! But overall, I've am having a fantastic time at Swansea.

As I am doing an apprenticeship, I don't live on campus, so I can't speak on student life or student unions, so I have marked them as neutral. For nurses, there is a good simulation sweet with mannequins that are hooked up to machines that can play out different situations. If you are doing an apprenticeship that goes over the summer, things like the café are closed for the holidays, but the shop remains open. The location is good for nursing as it is opposite Derriford. However, it is not close to the city center or Mutley, so it may be hard to get back to campus if you are thinking about nightlife. Parking is also expensive if you are not living on campus (I would assume you would get a permit if you live there, but I don't know for sure). The campus looks smart and is clean, with a nice open green space in the middle of the N,E,S, and W blocks. It's nice and open in communal spaces, and I haven't had an issue finding a place to sit; however, I am also only there one day a week. There is an excellent student support network, and this is for those with additional needs and those who just need a helping hand while at uni. Depending on what you need, they have different things on offer, from canceling sessions to support in the library with assignments and how to structure them. The university can also help fund assessments for things like dyslexia, which can open up some funding for the software you may need to help with writing essays. They also have dogs in the hub who are very cute. Overall, I would say that I like studying at this university and have been impressed with the support they have in place for students, but I don't live there, so I can't give an accurate review of the full experience.
