What students say about nursing

WIFI is absolutely awful and there are many dead zones around campus. How can a top-level engineering university provide such poor internet connection, especially when all of our assignments are internet based and due online? I am constantly searching for places around campus with any useable connection and the VPN speeds when you're off campus are just unusable. It's the year 2024. How have we not figured this out yet? It's absolutely unaccusable. You have the money to build an entire new campus, but can't fix the internet at your main campus? Awful.

Bolton public library is amazing. Easy access to student services, fun events, and the library and campus is great, open after hours. I’ve personally found my course isn’t the most organised, but otherwise I am loving it.

What students say about nursing

I attend UOG Francis Close Hall campus and it's so incredibly inspiring. It's a great oldy-worldy historical site and it was really the deal-breaker for me choosing UOG; although my course mates and I were severely let down when we were told we would have to move to Oxstalls campus in Gloucester... we managed to get the union involved but only managed to get it pushed back a year for us, all new students in September for social science will be in Oxstalls and won't get to experience the beauty of FCH. Such a shame. Despite this, the facilities are amazing, staff are equipped with great knowledge and are all incredibly friendly. All students are friendly and light-minded, it's a great environment to study in and socialise. I commute so I cannot speak on the social side of student accommodation and/or going out, but as a commuter it meets all my needs! I really recommend studying here, the lecturers know what they're talking about, and are amazing at illustrating theories and concepts in ways that make sense.

What students say about nursing

I think the best one is about how you learn more about the industry work, can easily get access to things and meet new friends that you might keep for life. Worst is when I start not going to lectures , the units become more complicating.

What students say about nursing

It is a great place to study because it provides a supportive and welcoming environment for students. The teachers are knowledgeable and approachable, which makes it easier to ask questions and understand difficult topics. There are good learning facilities such as libraries, quiet study areas, and access to online resources that help with independent learning. The opportunity to work with others and be part of a diverse community also makes studying more engaging and enjoyable.

What students say about nursing

As an international Environmental Management student, my time at Plymouth has been defined by two things: academic freedom and incredible support. When I faced significant personal loss and financial struggles that impacted my attendance, the faculty didn't write me off they gave me the flexibility to recover and succeed. The course itself is far more than just exams. I was able to lead complex, consultancy-style projects (like my work on Singapore Heat Stress policies) that felt like real professional work, not just coursework. The resources in the Marine Building and library are top-tier for anyone willing to push themselves. Plymouth offers a rare balance: it challenges you intellectually to reach distinction levels, but supports you personally when life gets hard. Highly recommended for students who want resilience alongside their degree.

What students say about nursing

The lecturers are very supportive with every issue you have. The options in Plymouth are brilliant for nightlife and general relaxation. The bus routes are very frequent and the sports here is brilliant. The courses are very thorough and help support life after uni. One thing I think could be improved are some of the on campus facilities such as the bar and the wifi/computers as it sometimes hinders study.

There should be more support for international students, the lack of staff specialized on matter regarding visas and financial support for international students makes the whole university experience feel more overwhelming and stressful.
