What students say about media-studies

One of the things I love about my University is the accessibility of different resources and how you can get everything you need within a 10 to 20-minute walk. While it does rain quite often, I also love the climate and the landscape especially in my accommodation, which overlooks a cute little golf course. One of the things I am not very fond of, personally is the fact that the weather can make me feel low and depressed easily which has been a common occurrence, but that too is not so much a University thing as it is personal and geographical. To be frank, I do not have much to complain, if at all, about my time here in Bangor University.

What students say about media-studies

The location is lovely despite it being quite out the way and a bit difficult to get to sometimes. All the staff have been great and really friendly, always helpful. The nightlife is great too with a huge variety of pubs and places to go.

What students say about media-studies

The campus is easily accessible by bus and also offers a car park, getting to campus is so easy and convenient and the area is a lot quieter as it’s not central, they offer an app where you can earn points when you buy from the food places in the uni the points turn into money which u can then spend, the thing I found the hardest was getting around I would’ve enjoyed a tour on my first day it would’ve made me feel less nervous but the people at reception are happy to help the support from my lectures especially my personal tutor has been amazing I couldn’t have picked a uni more convenient for me.

What students say about media-studies

Swansea is a really fine place to study. The campus is absolutely stunning, right by the sea, and it feels like you're constantly surrounded by nature. The lecturers are generally good, and I've liked my courses so far. However, the weather can be a bit grim sometimes! But overall, I've am having a fantastic time at Swansea.

What students say about media-studies

There is great support for students and facilities, especially for photography. I have been able to create high-quality prints and experiment with various cameras and lighting. As well as knowing that my lecturers are there to support me. The building is situated well in the centre of Cardiff, with it being very accessible to various student accommodations, shops, places to go out and transport links. However, the student union could host more events to bring students together even more.

What students say about media-studies

Cardiff University provides a safe space for students, cultivates an environment where young minds can expand their culture. In true welsh fashion, the school is a great place to meet like-minded individuals who love studying. The endless amounts of parks around campus are an amazing place to wind-down after a long day at uni. The staff is supportive, creating an environment where studying always comes first.
