It’s a good place to study because some of the tutors are very supportive and helpful if you have any academic questions or need help understanding anything, tutorials throughout my degree further this as it provides less of a lecture atmosphere and is more like a class where you can ask questions. One aspect of the university that could be improved is by adding more green spaces.

The best aspect about studying at the university of Plymouth is the campus and location. This is because, everything is in a walking distance and easily accessible. However, this is also the worst aspect about the university as I often find that due to its town centre location it isn't just students who use all of the facilities. There have been many occasions where I have struggled to find a seat to revise in where there are school students sat in them or older business workers treating the university as a cafe!

Best aspect is probably the people, everyone that goes there is super lovely and so re the lecturers - this is obvi a majority rather than actually everyone. Worst aspect is probably that there’s not much to do there in actual Plymouth but the university is good and the facilities aren’t that bad, though the leadership of this school lacks transparency and appears motivated by cost-cutting rather than care for the institution. The dismissal of multiple lecturers has damaged the learning experience, and there has been no clear explanation of how the resulting savings benefit students or staff.

The best aspect are the lecturers. There are no lecturers that make me feel like they don’t like teaching, I think the campus could be improved but I think they’re in the process of doing it already
