What students say about creative-writing

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 creative-writing

At the University of Southampton it’s the student body and community who makes it. The community is unreal and (I think) everyone feels part of it and that they belong. I would say the Students’ Union could actually listen to students more as they feel so far removed from the body they’re meant to represent

What students say about creative-writing

Attending Westminster has been an incredibly enriching experience for me. I have had the opportunity to develop diverse skills, including but not limited to effective networking. The professors, tutors, and staff have all been incredibly supportive and have played a pivotal role in my personal and academic growth. Furthermore, the camaraderie among my friends has been invaluable, and their support has been a cornerstone of my experience. Additionally, a noteworthy aspect of being part of Westminster is the accessibility of joining societies, which is offered free of charge compared to other universities. This has allowed me to engage in various extracurricular activities without any financial burden, adding substantial value to my overall college experience.

The library is brilliant, open 24/7 and the staff are really helpful. My course and the staff on my course were excellent and always willing to meet or discuss anything at all, nothing was too much trouble. The facilities are great and they’re always improving them too, and the campus has lots of green space and spots to sit outside too.

The community is so good. I have a strong sense of belonging. Everything is in a place and makes us more connected to each others. They should improve their facilities tho. It’s so old and broken and they should make more study space for students. The library is always so packed.

Library is very nice and modern, good facilties. Careers and Employability were very useful and helped me improve my CV. Staff are very helpful and welcoming. Uni is very clean and gardens always look very nice. I love the private study offices and the kitchen areas. Not many downsides only really it can be very busy somedays. More facilities for food like microwaves and kettles.

Best - the activities that the student union put on. The free shuttle bus and safe taxi scheme Worst - the fire alarm going off at 7am on a weekday. Being in lectures for two days a week and the days being very long

it is a very green campus with lovely up to date libraries and accommodation. it is close to town and the train station makes it easy to go southampton for a night out. unfortunately not a great nightlife, SU is good but queue for hours to get in, and no clubs in the town.

What students say about creative-writing

Studying at the University of Gloucestershire was the best choice I made to improve my career. Being an international student, I anticipated a great number of changes as a new entrant into the UK, but the truth is that my school has made it so easy for me to settle in and adapt to everything. From my first day in school at the Oxstalls campus, I met friendly faces and super helpful staff and had no difficulties navigating the campus. Systems and processes are seamless, the technology is pretty impressive, and the business school is just so beautiful and modern. There are groups and clubs for literally everything you can think of, and the student union did go the extra mile to make us feel welcome with a lot of programs and presents. Our lecturers are great as well, and the classes are more like intellectual exchange than 'just teaching'. This makes it easy to assimilate knowledge and look forward to learning which is one challenge I especially thought I'd go through, having been out of school for over 10 years. It's as if I never left, everything just blends in beautifully. The one thing I'd suggest an improvement on is communication between certain offices and the students. For instance in the event of cancellation of a scheduled program it would be helpful if the students were informed beforehand as some do come from quite a distance. Other than this minor ish which isn't really a big deal by the way, the University of Gloucestershire is the educational stuff of dreams and I'll really encourage folks especially international students to go for it. I do not regret coming here. It's been the most amazing experience so far.
