What students say about social-studies

I'm an optometry student entering my third year in September 2024. The lecturers are very nice and supportive; however, the optometry students in Group C are extremely rude, disrespectful, and lack any sort of manners. Many of them speak poorly of you if you fall behind or are slow in your routine, and they refuse to collaborate despite knowing that practice is essential for skill improvement.

What students say about social-studies

What makes my uni a great place to study is their student support. They try to help their students in any way possible to ensure that students get the best out of their education. I think it would be better if the university put more effort into societies and clubs such as sporting clubs and teams . It would help the university to have more of a community and really showcase other talents other than what students already study on their courses. My university do have societies and some sporting teams, however some of the societies don’t run anymore and it’s not made to be as big as it was when I first heard about it before I joined uni. I think it’s important to have that feel of community and university culture and to also show the inclusiveness of different cultures, groups and activities in which people associate them selves with.

What students say about social-studies

I’m a mature student doing the BMus Music part-time at Goldsmiths. I’ve just come to the end of the full-time first year (which has taken me two years). Headline is I’d really recommend this course – it was definitely a good decision to apply. Over the first year I’ve done 5 year-long modules and coming to the end I reckon they have given me a really solid foundation as a musician in terms of my ability to play, write, analyse and think about music.

I love the university, my course is great and covers a variety of topics. The facilities on campus are amazing and I can book out the dance studios for free. The Roehampton students union is ok but the communication could be better between societies and also in general. I would love the RSu to host more events or at least support and promote other events at the union bar students can attend.

What students say about social-studies

I gained an MSc. with Arden University. The below first statement assume to be the worst experience, but it is also blessing in disguise. There is a saying that ''All work no play makes jack a dull boy'' The university does not have it's own garden or field, but there are numerous accessible fields, parks, garden, museums around including the prestigious Tower of London Royal Palace. Historic royal palaces, with great pictures and artifacts to behold. London Bridge and many more, just across the Tower Hill Campus. Same as other Arden University Campuses. Though they specifically choose best location for their campuses. Best Uni experience. The University learning model is excellent. self pace learning support, the Virtual Learning Environment VLE is pact with great both personal and customer support, easy to access and progress. The submission process, the assignments and exams support are straightforward when you get to understand how to navigate around the VLE. You just want to learn and gain more knowledge with Arden University.
