The best part about the university are the facility’s and my lecturers, being in RLB with everything you need to create, explore and generate high quality work is essential and convenient for my course. The lecturers are kind and care about not only your work but also your mental and physical health. The university could be improved by adding better security around campus.

Very easy to get to the main campus, travelling between lecture spaces as well as from campus to nearby accommodation and the city centre. Very good facilities for my course, architecture, and similar ones.

the student life and going out with mates and joining a sport society were the best whilst late night library sessions were intense and not fun at all

The close relationships that we have with our lecturers are so valuable and incredibly helpful; there is an understanding and a feeling that you can speak to them even when they are incredibly busy. Whatsmore the studio environment is vital and I believe should be employed in other subjects - students can always learn from and with each other. There is a communal environment where there are always opportunities to discuss with your classmates, unlike a course which is based around meeting in a lecture theatre. On the other hand, since last year, the staff drop is noticeable, all the while money is being poured into new buildings without a connection between these buildings. The staff are trying their best, but it, without a doubt, affects the learning experience.

-it’s such a great place to study because it’s a very easy campus to navigate, there are so many ways to be supported weather your unsure about what your studying, thinking about your future after graduation, or just need someone tot all to if your struggling in your degree. Plymouth, as a city, is also such a nice place, it’s small but easy to navigate as well, everyone is so nice and helpful, there are a couple of things you can do to have fun, like got to so many food place and restaurants, go to the cinema, be in nature, like the hoe, a great shopping center and so much more.

So many cares and event from university and student union. However, so many facilities costs quite a lot like using printer and laser cut. Hope the these fee would be included in tuition fees.
