What students say about seismology

It feels like as students we are getting a lot of support from the university and professors are available to discuss any issues privately. The facilities are easy to access, the library is open 24/7, 365 days a year and that's amazing! There are a lot of things going on all the time and so many societies that you will definitely find something that you like and it makes it easy to meet new people. On campus accommodation is expensive. Very specific but as an international student your card will not work to access sportspark unless you pay 10£ and I couldn't find any mention of this fee when I signed up for some club activities.

What students say about seismology

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 seismology

The best aspect of the university is its inclusiveness and overall collectiveness and community you get when you’re a part of the university and even after you have left I have seen previous alumni and staff being an active part of the community works present over here and participate in their respective events.

What students say about seismology

Best is the people and the quality of the education, worst has to deal with who runs UCL, administration has quite a few dirtbags. Facilitates aren't the greatest. I prefer more of a traditional campus feel and prefer KCL and LSE campus. Still considering coming back to UCL to apply for a LLM, alongside the other London unis, and maybe throw my shot at oxbridge.

What students say about seismology

I like how everything is on campus, convenient, I love the study spaces available at varying levels of quietness. The student union is cheap but could do with a bit of updating. I like the assessments we are given, a variety like presentations and essays writing blogs however the feedback could be more informative. I definitely miss home more than I thought so I wish I had chosen a closer uni most of my friends are off campus which makes the weekends and evenings lonely.

What students say about seismology

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.

Best - Classes and societies. I feel such passion from staff and the societies are so broad and fun! Worst - Transport and times. I rely on trains so some lessons become difficult to attend due to the trains.

What students say about seismology

I believe creating a more inclusive social environment for both home and international students is essential. Providing a space where they can come together to share their life experiences fosters a better understanding of one another. This not only contributes to psychological well-being, especially for those who may feel isolated, but it also enhances English language proficiency for some students. This could take the form of a conversation club, a talk and talk cafe, or any other engaging platform." Thanks Abdul Rasheed Alizay ATD 3rd year.

What students say about seismology

Durham is a beautiful city and university with great social opportunities. The traditions are very strong at this school. It feels today like how Oxford and Cambridge were twenty years ago. Sometimes administration can be a challenge, many people have difficulty in knowing how to pay tuition and the university is slow to respond to emails. Also, there are far too many international students and just students in general. The university’s expansion plans are causing a drop in the school’s national and international rankings and causing the university to be in danger of losing its character.
