Lovely location and student support is excellent, pastoral and disability support. Bus prices are expensive and some study spaces are a bit tired

Studying geography at the Cornwall campus is great because there are so many places to do fieldwork. It's such a beautiful place to live and work.

Both academic and social aspects of the university satisfy myself. The only negative of my time is the lack of participation during seminars - however this (I believe) is from a lack of confidence in speaking publicly - and/or making mistakes in front of other

The campus is amazing and covered in greenery. The facilities are very modern with lovely lecture halls, and amazing labs, as well as high level computers and GIS software.

The university is inclusive and welcoming. The facilities could be improved, as it seems that there are too many students and not enough spaces. For PhD students/post-docs, there are not enough desks for everyone, for example. Also, it is difficult to book rooms, as there are not so many available.

The facilities are fantastic at the Penryn campus. There is a 24/7 library with multiple floors, a quiet zone, and a help desk. There is also a gym and outdoor spaces, along with a bar and pool table. At first the location was hard to adjust to, being so out of the way, but I have grown to love it with the sea and community feel. Student support is fantastic; there is mental support, financial support, and academic support, just to mention a few. The SU also offers support and events like free soup Friday. To conclude, my personal experience of student life has been superb. I have found a lovely group of friends, I enjoy my course, and I have a job that I enjoy.

It's a good place to study as it has a nice campus with lots of trees which looks nice in term 3. It could be improved by not having some assignments be due on the exact same day.

The campus is beautiful and everything is within walking distance in the city. There are plenty of study areas around campus and lecturers are really engaging and approachable. Facilities could be slightly better for such a highly ranked university and nightlife on campus is very limited.
