International Business Studies degrees in Eastern England

University is so expensive I can't afford to go out or go to events. The campus living in a cramped bedroom is twice as expensive as living in a house in the city. Other than that the course is good and UEA is nicely situated with access to the city.

I appreciate that there are lots of opportunities to get involved with sport or different societies as well as general SU events open to all students. My lecturers are very knowledgeable and the campus both students and staff is very diverse and representative of all. I do not feel the gym facilities are suitable for a school of this size. I would appreciate better facilities for fitness overall. Additionally, blades appears to favour certain sports over others. Finally, I do not feel the hours of the Essex store (where you get Essex jumpers etc) are conducive to students schedules. I often am in class all day and when I finish lessons the store is closed and I am therefore never really able to go inside and look around.

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.

I have been offered an incredible amount of support from the university so far. I have gone from 52% in my first assignment to 85% in my last, this demonstrates the level of constructive feedback given and the opportunities for academic development at ARU. The professors have always been approachable and are continuously looking for you to advance professionally. I cant fault the facilities, nothing exceptional or awful about them. Aesthetically, the university isn't particularly inspiring and on the winter days it can look especially run down. Running the society's need to serious incentivising, for the last two years the psychology society hasn't been running because there isn't anyone who wants to put their name forward.
