Edge Hill University

Accessible location, the staff are extremely helpful and friendly. The vibes are immaculate - the campus has a nice, friendly feel The wifi needs to be improved as sometimes it does not work

Edge Hill University teaching and non teaching staff are dedicated and responsive. You could interact easily and be happy. Increase university awards /scholarships for students.

The University has a beautiful campus which just enhances the experience of spending time spent on campus. The facilities belonging to the uni are better than could ever be hoped for as there is vast array of books, with the amount of books in the library, I don't think there is a missing book in the universe. And the gym provides all the equipment and classes you would need, a personal favourite is the swimming pool which even has a steam-room and sauna!!! As part of my course we get to experience learning in a classroom, a lab and also a kitchen and all three of these environment have been designed to promote learning and they make everything a nutrition student could want, very accessible. The university has many unique features such as the outside cinema!! Like I did not expect that when starting university. A factor that makes my life 100% more enjoyable while living on campus is the societies, especially the Christian union (Big shout out to the christian union). If there was any aspect I believe that could be improved in my uni experience is that the university doesn't have mental health check ins incorporated in the course. Speaking from my experience and also my friends, many courses have sensitive/ emotional content which is covered and no check in for the students follow. In my course, we learn about eating disorders and multiple people in the class have been open with struggling with eating problems and they could potentially find the content we are covering triggering.

Great facilities such as the sports centre, library, and the hub. To be improved could be the student support from my course. The university library support is really good however the support on my course is not the best in my opinion as the communication with students is very poor.

I find the amount of support from academic to international and student representative support so immense and it made coping and adjusting to the new environment very easy. The uniskills and library services here is top notch and staff here are very helpful and give guidance when needed. One thing that can be improved is creating more part time job opportunities for students especially international students.

I absolutely love the campus and the atmosphere. I do think student life could be improved when the SU is built, but it is still really good
