Drama Studies degrees in Yorkshire And Humberside

The student report is great and really accessible for all different types of issues and problems you may need. Some of the buildings look quite dull, I would like if the lecture rooms had more windows.

The best aspect is that it’s close to town and it has some good facilities such as borrowing laptops etc. The worst is that at times it could get quiet boring especially that Huddersfield isn’t a very active city in comparison to other cities.

Best aspects: One of the best things about my experience at York St John has been the strong sense of community. The campus is a really welcoming environment, and because it’s a smaller university, it’s easy to build meaningful relationships with both lecturers and other students. My course has felt very supportive, with lecturers who are approachable and genuinely invested in student success. The location is also a huge positive — being so close to York city centre makes student life enjoyable while still having a calm, close-knit campus atmosphere that’s great for studying. Worst aspects / improvements: While the supportive environment is a real strength, one area that could be improved is communication around timetabling and assessment deadlines, which can sometimes feel a bit last-minute. Additionally, expanding study spaces during peak assessment periods would be helpful, as the library can get very busy. That said, the university is clearly responsive to student feedback, and I’ve seen positive changes being made over time.

Sheffield is a brilliant community city, with pocket neighbourhoods and a familiar feel - excellent location by the peaks and with links to major cities, it’s a great city to start with away from home.
