Falmouth University

I love the uni overall, it is very easy to navigate as someone with autism like myself finds directions difficult. This university is really good in terms of support and helping students, they’re extremely friendly to both national and international students from what I’ve seen and experienced, it has a very nice warm feeling when looking at the amazing architecture, the green-ness of the campus, the beautiful scenery, the views everything makes for a lovely stroll in between classes, on top of that the staff and other students are so so kind, the facilities are top of the field, the computers are high grade for the work we need to do, the access to computer labs and such is extremely easy to do provided a risk assessment, the foods and drinks that are served all over campus are welcoming and not too expensive either making life as a student a whole lot easier when it comes to expenses. Furthermore the way the uni handles timetable issues, funding issues and overall issues with students or staff is definitely great, however some items can be a little expensive. But best of all the campus is almost entirely wheelchair accessible! Which is amazing for a friend of mine so we can walk and talk, the uni is extremely disability friendly! If you’re planning to come here for something to do with creation, Falmouth Penryn Campus is DEFINITELY the place for you. Games, Drama, Clothing, we have so many things to offer and as a student I’m loving the main courses and the extracurricular activities!

The campus is beautiful even in winter. For my course I have learnt so much so quickly, and they really invest in us by buying lots of high quality computers. The lecturers are great I really like them and they love to hear our ideas. There are some people on the course who aren't giving their all which is shame because it reinforces this idea that everyone has that games isn't a real course. Sometimes I feel like the games academy is looked down on by other students, so maybe they could do more with combining with other courses?

It’s a great place to study for me personally as it’s so close to my home, and the facilities on campus are easy to access and are maintained well. It could be improved with more events during campus hours to help more of the travelling students feel involved.

This uni has supported me tons already despite the short time I've been wirh them, I feel at home and love all the friendly faces around me.

Falmouth University is a great university, and has incredible facilities and creates a professional atmosphere in order to prepare us for the industry we intend to go into. The surrounding area is beautiful, with lots of picturesque hills and views, as well as the beautiful beaches and docks. I definitely recommend this university

Falmouth University has modern and fully decked out facilities with everything you need in them. I enjoy going to different onsite facilities in my free time to study there rather then at home. Penryn (the location of the second campus) is in a very small quiet town so once you leave there isn't much to do, but there are always buses elsewhere.
