What students say about software-development

Best - I like the wide range of facilities provided such as the on campus library and access to shops within the campus Improvement- more support in terms of essays and one to one support being available. Also on campus living could be improved with a more appealing social areas and better laundry services.

What students say about software-development

Norwich University of the Arts was my first choice when applying to university and having completed almost 2/3 years of my course, I don't regret my decision. I love the city, I love my course, I love my teachers and I love what I learn. My technical graphic skills have only developed and consolidated since the beginning of first year and are projected to continue doing so, all thanks to the community I joined.

What students say about software-development

I love the campus and the atmosphere we have. its a beautiful place to study and i have enjoyed my time here. All the staff are wonderful, I have a brilliant supervisors and enjoy my course. I have learnt a lot whilst at Lancaster However, i find that the student union is broken, it does not uphold its own beliefs. The societies may work but the actual student union body is useless. it needs and overhall, and needs attention brought to the actions of the staff and how people follow their regulations.

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.
