What students say about criminology

The best aspect is the supportive academic staff and diverse extracurricular opportunities, which greatly enhanced my learning and leadership skills. The only minor improvement is to upgrade some campus study space facilities for better accessibility during peak exam times.

What students say about criminology

Best aspects: The University of Leicester offers a supportive and inclusive environment that really helps students thrive. The lecturers are approachable and knowledgeable, and the small class sizes make it easier to engage in discussions and get personalised feedback. The campus is well-equipped, with excellent library resources, study spaces, and modern facilities that make learning comfortable and accessible. There’s also a strong sense of community, with societies and events that help students feel connected and develop both academically and socially. Worst aspects / areas for improvement: Some aspects could be improved, such as streamlining administrative processes like module registration or access to certain student services, which can sometimes be slow or confusing. Additionally, while the campus has great facilities, certain areas like student accommodation or social spaces could benefit from more modernisation or expansion to meet the growing student population. Enhancing mental health support and making sure all services are easy to access online would also make the student experience even better.

What students say about criminology

Loughborough itself is very boring but it has a brilliant community. It is near to Nottingham which has a better night life for that side, but Loughborough has a charm and lots of pubs... I would highly recommend Loughborough as a place to go to uni. The student union has significantly gotten worse since being here, it feels like it serves itself not the students. they have gotten rid of the art shop, a crucial service for creative students due to it not making enough money (surely that isn't the point in offering a service), they are also difficult to deal with for things relating to societies and clubs.

What students say about criminology

The facilities are awesome, particularly if you love getting involved in sport. The worst thing I’ve had to deal with is the room booking system for societies is occasionally frustrating, though they are in the midst of reworking it now. Very good, can highly recommend coming here.
