English Literature degrees in North East England

Durham is a beautiful city and university with great social opportunities. The traditions are very strong at this school. It feels today like how Oxford and Cambridge were twenty years ago. Sometimes administration can be a challenge, many people have difficulty in knowing how to pay tuition and the university is slow to respond to emails. Also, there are far too many international students and just students in general. The university’s expansion plans are causing a drop in the school’s national and international rankings and causing the university to be in danger of losing its character.

best- good location, aesthetically pleasing, lots of activities to do e.g. different fairs, societies etc. Lots of deals for students worst- not always a lot of support for those doing more intense courses such as healthcare

There are excellent lecturers and student support services (particularly academic skills). The campus has a good feel and has a lot of outdoor seating which will be nice when the weather is warm. Lecture rooms are good but the seats are very uncomfortable. There is little impact from the students' union, for example there was no 'refreshers fayre' for January intake students, which also impacts the student life score.

The facilities in terms of student union, resources like library and internet access inside the campus are wonderful. The faculty members are all supportive and friendly. The course structure and lectures are clear and comprehensible. Thus, I am delighted to be a student in York St John University. Thank you, Ugyen
