What students say about criminal-law

The best aspect is the people that I have met, the worst aspect is the actual campus feel. Walking through the uni of Liverpool campus it feels very connected and the guild offers a great place to socialise/study but it feels much more offered to uni of students as it’s on their campus. At LJMU, the buildings are very spaced out and it feels disconnected, and there doesn’t seems to be a real student union.

What students say about criminal-law

-City itself is great, beautiful city and history and architecture, everywhere is easily accessible. -Student support could be better, heard and seen a lot of things that I feel is very unfair and not taken seriously -Facilities in the Kingsway campus is great, the campus itself is great, the location is in a bit of a strange area and is a bit far away from the main campus.

It’s a beautiful area and school. The environment is so friendly and everything is really easy to navigate. I wish the students were helped more in certain topics like finding food, groceries and different nessecities.

I like inclusion that everyone is equal and part of university and there is relaxation about stuff like assignments and fees. Teachers also collaborate alot. Worst thing is lack of events. There should be more events

The staff and students around the campus are always so welcoming and friendly. It really makes me enjoy where I’m studying. I think something that could be improved is the university’s response to student based issues.

What students say about criminal-law

Best - The food is Very good, The behaviour of Staff is decent, The students are sometimes a pain in the backside but most of them are nice, the outside area is pretty good, the location could be a little bit better but it's good, the courses in college are also good, I would personally say that Blackburn College is a good college to go to, however It has some disadvantages such as the way and the behaviour of some staff towards students and students behavior towards staff. Another disadvantage Could be the wait for your food as there is too many students trying to get a drink / food (I would recommend that 1st years, 2nd years and etc get a different break as this would decrease the wait time) the Atmosphere of college is good, The health and Safety in Blackburn is also good but it could improve a little bit by the security of the gates for students and staff since some people (that don't have a lanyard) they may enter the college area whilst be able to have full access to the area that is off limits to people that aren't students / staff I would recommend that, some students can make their own group (no bad ones, just kind ones) as maybe this option may let students to be more creative and to have a chance for becoming a powerful person.

What students say about criminal-law

I would say that the city is amazing, the nightlife and the people and places to go and experience the proper Liverpool culture are great. The uni campus is very nice with lots of places to sit, surrounded by nice architecture. I would say some of the educational buildings seem a bit outdated and sometimes the toilet facilities are a bit of a walk but other than that lectures are scheduled within proximity so that there is not too much walking around. The union is amazing with so many great societies and the bar and guild events are spot on!

As I walked into the University on the very first day I felt so good about it giving a beautiful atmosphere and comfortable environment with all the facilities. And also we can make it a better place with more friendly and caring with more encouragement among the students and the staff.
