Geography and Spanish & Latin American Studies (5 yrs) - MA (Hons)

University of Aberdeen

Student union is good and so is the food court but the food court is only open 11-3 which isnt great. The library is great spacious and modern

I love where the university is located within the city. The university could improve by adding more activities to include more international people, things like the acs which has really started to grow help’s people not feel left out and gives them familiar faces to be around.

The best experience is easily the sir Duncan Rice Library as its a very good space to study although the cafe is extortionate and it often means that you have to go elsewhere to quickly grab food or drinks. Though the water machines are amazing on each floor! Another thing that would be good is if they would get a few of each book required by some courses for heavy demand as this past term I couldn't afford the book and had to wait until it was returned the next day to be able to use it although the library staff where very helpful and managed o direct me to some similar books to help in the meantime. The next best thing would definitely be the clubs that are offered and encouraged! I joined the rowing club Aberdeen and its amazing especially because everyone is so lovely and welcoming and meeting people from RGU is also very good fun and fantastic chance to make more friends. The uni is very good with communicating and are very open and helpful if you're confused or in need of help. The emails we get from relevent departments every month are also a welcome addition

My overall experience was very mixed as covid interrupted it. However, My first year was fully enjoyable and I really appreciated the opportunities and effort the university put in. They attempted to support us throughout the pandemic as well however it has been trying times. The sole reason why I'm saying is that it was not value for money is because we were not offered any price reductions or refunds despite everything being online and not being able to get the full value for money

generally good - 3rd and 4th year been especially good in highlighting future plans/aspirations however also been the hardest and most stressful!
