The community feel at the university of York is wonderful. The campus is always buzzing with students and has so many nice areas outside to sit and chat or decompress between lectures. Sitting by the lake and watching the swans and ducks is one of my favourite places to eat lunch with friends. Overall, I've had a great experience with interesting lecturers and supportive supervisors for lab projects, and would recommend York to anyone looking for a welcoming, well-rounded and high quality education experience at University! Improvements could be made in the delivery of information between management and students, especially regarding the future of departments to ensure all students feel represented, respected and informed about the next stages of their teaching.

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.

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.

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!

One of the best parts of my experience at the University of Surrey has been the supportive and inclusive environment. When I first arrived, I was quite shy and also struggled with a stutter, which made speaking in front of others difficult. However, the encouragement I received from both staff and fellow students helped me gradually build my confidence. Today, I feel much more comfortable expressing myself and speaking in groups, which has been a huge personal achievement. The university also offers excellent academic resources, engaging lecturers, and a diverse community that makes learning exciting and rewarding. The University of Surrey is a great place to study because it combines high-quality teaching with a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. The campus facilities, placement opportunities, and strong sense of community create an environment where students can not only excel academically but also grow personally. The cost of accommodation and overall fees can feel quite high, which may place a financial strain on students. Making housing more affordable or offering greater financial support would make the university experience more accessible to all.

The best aspect of the university is its inclusiveness and overall collectiveness and community you get when you’re a part of the university and even after you have left I have seen previous alumni and staff being an active part of the community works present over here and participate in their respective events.

It’s a great uni for social life. The finance team I found was a bit tight. On my campus, there is no microwave or kettle or canteen, just a vending machine. Sometimes, I find the course confusing with the lack of guidance.
