Due to the universities small size it has an amazing community and is an extremely friendly environment. Student support is also incredible at Newman, really helpful and approachable staff that work really hard to make sure you are supported

I’m a mature student doing the BMus Music part-time at Goldsmiths. I’ve just come to the end of the full-time first year (which has taken me two years). Headline is I’d really recommend this course – it was definitely a good decision to apply. Over the first year I’ve done 5 year-long modules and coming to the end I reckon they have given me a really solid foundation as a musician in terms of my ability to play, write, analyse and think about music.

Teaching staff are amazing! Although the campus is slightly out the way, this is made up for by a calm environment, clear air and access to green spaces. Library space can be limited, sometimes it is challenging to find a space with a monitor. It would also be good if there were HDMI cables available, to plug your laptop into the larger screens.

The teaching style is awesome, I really enjoy learning computer science and I feel like everything I'm taught can be immediately put to practice. On the other hand I'm kind of disappointed that most of the material is online and lecturers just share the material with us, but do not actually teach it in lectures.

***IDPCTBR22*** genuine, but sensitive. Overall, I believe the University of Liverpool is a great university with a lot of supporting facilities. However, I do take issue with the hypocrisy of the Liverpool Guild as they advocate for protecting women's health and bodily autonomy as evidenced by the "my body my choice" poster on display in their window but have allowed a society to be recognised which advocates for the complete opposite of this (pro life society). As a woman, this has created an unsafe feeling around campus and compromised my admiration for the University.

Very quiet, lots of areas to study and lecture halls are large and comfortable. I would like there to be more activity based societies and for the society website to be updated quicker because new ones have trouble being added and there are old ones that have closed one or two years ago

Its really lovely university! Hatfield isn't super exciting but I appreciate how close it is to London without being as expensive- I'm an animation student so I could take the day off to go to an animation festival in London- it was great :). The student union is also really cool: I'm in the boardgames society and they host all sorts of stuff three times a week. The downside is the two campuses are fairly far away from eachother- I'd like if the buses came more regularly so I could make better advantage of the facilities over there.

Despite its prestigious reputation, the university as an organisation has been constantly below expectations. However, the students union has been the centre of student life for me and has constantly exceeded expectations

Best aspects: Huge campus, incredible sport facilities, lots of study spaces and access to computers and technology. Great transport links. Lots of cafes and restaurants, everything you need is close by. The university is very supportive. Worst: nightlife is not that good and the student union could be improved. This could be done by more bars, clubs and third party social spaces for people to hang out. Travelling to other areas in the midlands is easy, but if you live outside of this area (except for London) it is difficult and expensive to travel to and from home. Gendered ration is unequal meaning there are a lot more men than women.
