I think that UoH is a great university, because of its history, establishments and its support. My current favourite building is the Spectra because it has a cafe and it is very interesting to see the engineering classrooms and specialised classrooms.

Best aspect would definitely be on campus living experience. University college lane accomodations are the best experience of my international student journey. Nice place, privacy, safety and security, good management, and a beautiful nature friendly place to see. Worst aspect would be the involvement with university job offerings. Sometimes I feel the vacancies get filled by priorities, relationship, and reference. I might be wrong but based on what I seen I felt that way. Also there's no clear guidance what to do if I want to work with su. I feel I have the potential to be part of su but I just don't know how to get involved.

My best experience would be the environment, everyone is super friendly and supportive. The university area has a nice and calming vibe and nature friendly. I love greenery. The bus services are good and quiet available. University communication system is also very good. As an internal student I feel very convenient and confident here. My worst experience is with the super shop, it's a bit far away. 25 min walk mostly. But that's fine. Although I can't find few essentials but I'm okay. Most things are found easily.

The campus facilities are great and travel facility of Uno bus is great ease to students. The only aspect to look after is the teaching method. It can be more practical.

It’s a very comfortable place to live and study, plenty of books and places to go for quiet, the staff are very helpful and knowledgeable, there are many places to get food and drink in your breaks and it is an excellent place to go for a walk around the campus as the right amount of greenery that it give a natural feel and it’s almost the perfect place, but nothing is perfect

Some of the best things about herts is the accommodation and student life. The campus is easily accessible with modern rooms, kitchens and buildings. There are a range of commons rooms available for use. The LRC facilities are accessible 24/7 with staff available most hours. Great place to study. My course is interesting and lecturing staff are helpful. I have access to a support team who are there for us if we need them for academic support throughout the week. The downside is the Student's Union. Our nightclub is overpriced and limited. There is a lack of care for students and clearly is only a money making opportunity. The on-campus pub is much the same with a lack of options and the great expense. Truthfully, this is the only thing that holds back my uni experience. Otherwise, it would be 10/10

Overall the university is great, it has a lot of free activities and many events, and tries to make things inclusive. But the university itself doesn’t have much diversity in it so the majority of the events that are made to make people feel more inclusive is related to one specific ethnic group
