What students say about town-and-country-planning

The facilities are awesome, particularly if you love getting involved in sport. The worst thing I’ve had to deal with is the room booking system for societies is occasionally frustrating, though they are in the midst of reworking it now. Very good, can highly recommend coming here.

What students say about town-and-country-planning

The university has a really good library with multiple floors in which you can certainly find your preferred study area. On campus there are multiple rooms to choose from if you want to work away from your accommodation, there are many quiet place where you can really focus. Social life is good when you are able to get to talk with people and step out of your comfort zone, otherwise it gets rather lonely quite quickly and it feels like your are isolated no matter how many people there are around you. You have to put yourself out there. The large park on campus is nice and beautiful, aside for the mud when it gets too rainy. The green space is a good opportunity to take a walk to clear your mind, feel refreshed, or if you want to get your steps in for the day. Most people mind their own business, from my experience, and it’s nice to realise and know that you can be comfortable with yourself as well as go for activities that the Student Union puts out for everyone. As I am in an accommodation without a common room, only a kitchen, I think it would be great to make it possible to feel like there are places to go to feel more at home, instead of spending most of the time in your room.

What students say about town-and-country-planning

I am a mature distance learning student, completing my MA in Philosophy of Religion and Ethics. The online platform is easy to use and the digital library is expansive. All staff have been easy to contact when I need any support, including IT, Finance, Admin, my personal tutor and teaching staff. I have been assigned a mentor to help me stay connected with university life and the Philosophy department. The modules are contemporary, as are the course materials. The student cohort is diverse and we all connect to the course flexibly, from different time zones. I receive a weekly events newsletter which has plenty of options for attending online webinars and socials.
