What students say about french

i love the facilities at this uni, the library and the teaching is great. there are many places for all types of students ,quiet or not, to go and the nightlife in the city is prety decent. it is quite affordable compared to other universitys close by. the societies are fantastic aswell. the university could improve on certain teaching aspects in the first year to ease us into how very independant it all is

What students say about french

Everyone I have met has been friendly and helpful. There are plenty of societies to join and the student union bar is great for a bit of socialisation on the side. I wish there were more green spaces to sit and quiet areas like the library dotted around. Parking is a bit hit and miss but there's plenty of buses.

The best aspects are that the teachers are helpful and experienced and so it helps with learning, however there could be more help with exam resources such as more practice questions for the exam to get the most support

What students say about french

The uni itself is beautiful and right in the city centre, there is lots to do around Nottingham and it is relatively cheap compared to other areas. Lively food scene and nightlife, and there are lots of parks and other activities in or near the city centre. Support from my tutor and course leaders has been perfect, my one complaint would be the lack of support regarding mental health. My tutor and course leaders have been extremely accommodating and attentive to the needs of disabled or mentally ill students, and counselling is available within the student union, however it is limited to 6 sessions and has a very long waitlist, taking (in my experience) 6 months to get an initial assessment. However, I have made so many friends and received support from both them, and the staff on my course. Would absolutely recommend NTU!

I love the new city campus. It looks great and has excellent facilities, but more green spaces would be nice. The library is well stocked and there are plenty of study spaces. The teaching staff are excellent.

The best aspects are the student union and the facilities available. I think it could be improved if we had more books generally available at the library without requiring click and collect, since right now the library feels like a study space but not a real library.

Great place to study due to its historical ties and the prestige of its education. However, it does leave a lot to be desired in other aspects of uni life, such as its students' union and its organisation.

What students say about french

Best experience: a lot of student space when studying out of hours Worst experience: Student food is very expensive, it is well known that most students can not afford luxury goods, as most are not dependent on their parents but are not able to have a full time job, yet to have a nutritious meal you need to spend like you have money, majority does not have the privilege to enjoy two nutritious meals a day and the access we have to food in the university does not help

What students say about french

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.
