Not too busy it’s a smaller uni so you feel more valued. Not much to be improved WiFi could be slightly better in some places.

Great place to study because all three of the campuses are within walking distance from each other making them all accessible and the University treat all students as individuals not just as a collective. Student support in my experience has been amazing because staff really respect students and are willing to support them any way they can

I love the area of Worcester which was a big aspect of why I chose to study here. I’d love there to be a small library on St John’s campus ideally as it can be annoying to walk to city in order to use the Hive. However I love Pierson as a study centre, I think that’s my favourite place to study. There are many clubs and societies available to join which is great. The support available for students is also good, as we have a personal tutor available for meetings. Overall I recommend the uni to anybody as it’s very welcoming and easy to settle into.

Everything is great. Lectures, lecturers, the campus is very clean, students are nice. Just one thing I dislike is that the multifaith room/prayer room is situated so far away 30 mins walking that by the time you get there, do your thing and come back the lectures are over. I've asked multiple times for inclusion and have gone to the student union to have a prayer room on the main campus but my voice is not being heard. They do have disabled toilets, lifts, mixed gender toilets, but inclusion is for everyone. That's my only grief at this university otherwise everything else is impeccable.

It has been a fun and proper learning process. I am glad I came to this uni. I would recommend it to other people starting uni next year. The housing has not always been so pleasant but I hope it is improving in the University halls.
