What students say about environmental-conservation

My university experience had both highs and lows. I enjoyed learning new things, meeting people, and working on projects, which helped me grow personally and academically. At the same time, challenges like heavy workloads and occasional disorganization taught me resilience and time management, making the experience overall valuable and formative.

What students say about environmental-conservation

Alot of facilities and mice buildings for spaces but also gets very crowded on those spots which is fine and creates a nice environment. It's got alot of scenic places and has nice building that look good from the inside as well. Improvement could include maybe more sockets in the older buildings for devices since those can be hard to get in some lecture rooms in the older building. The uni is close to quite a good bit of food spots like cafes and Lidl as well as Greggs and a Tesco express so lunch isn't a problem most times.

What students say about environmental-conservation

Couldn’t be happier to have picked SRUC for veterinary nursing! It’s very practical based and really hands on which I love a lot. The lecturers are lovely and in our online (for now) lectures they make sure to try and keep us engaged and give us breaks as they know online learning can be a bit difficult and most of all they try to make it fun! If you’re looking to do veterinary nursing in Scotland I’d definitely recommend SRUC - you might be a bit hesitant at first since it’s out in the countryside and not a city but it’s definitely worth it for the practical learning than you receive on farm etc.

Tutors are lovely but the only thing that could be improved is the support for the English and the rest of the students who are not from Scotland. It's took me 3 years to get help for my dyslexia and that is because I have to pay for it.

What students say about environmental-conservation

I feel that I have still learned a lot, but many of the assessments have been changed from practice assessments to essays or tests. I just can’t wait to be on campus because I know it will be so much better. I can’t give a proper opinion until I see what everything is like for myself

What students say about environmental-conservation

I love the city in general. The University's libraries are good. with proper facilities that I can use, such as discussion rooms, computers, printers, even 3D printer! Some buildings look so old but in positive ways, make them look classic and cultured. However, in my own experience, some classrooms are a little bit aged. i mean, like some chairs are feel old, they are sometimes kind of wobbly, and some of them do not have enough leg room. Main library can be crowded when exam days come, but I think that is something that can not be avoided. i think it is good to add some space for classrooms or some like study hubs.

What students say about environmental-conservation

The students at our university are the most important people on campus. Our university is very good at putting the students first and allowing them to have their say. Furthermore, there is a multitude of opportunities for staff and students to work together making the campus feel more like a community. I myself have worked with the Comms; Events; People and Wellbeing teams allowing me to form close bonds with facility.

Student safety and community feel is very strong. Lots of history surrounding the university and the town is beautiful. To improve I would have better transport for student to move between town and the nearest cities (like Edinburgh), better nightlife for the students and more accomodation.
