The campus is in a good location with it being right next to the train station and not too far from the city centre, but other than that there's not much to do nearby if you have lots of breaks between classes. There's quite a few places on campus for you to get food, and they do have a student bar and club that hold events, but if you're a commuter you may be waiting around for a long time. There are places that you can book out rooms to study, but most people end up just finding a classroom and doing work there. The Epic Games studio in the Cadman building is essentially just a big classroom with nicer chairs, so it's not as exciting as people assume. Overall it's not the best place in terms of campus, but they do have a lot of connections to industry and the teaching in my experience is not too bad.

They do teach a lot of really important content in terms of getting you into industry and not just learning the skills, and they hold a few game jams to get peoples portfolio's filled in. The modules (at least for first year) are varied but still come together at points to build off your knowledge from other classes. They have a lot of connections to the industry and always push you to go to a placement for your own benefit. The lectures are good for uni standards and it's always in person, but the seminars usually feel very pointless unless you have an issue you're stuck on. The lecturers typically get back to you pretty quickly if you email them, but it depends on which lecturer you email, but other than the industry connections they offer there aren't really any facilities

The area of stoke on trent is a bit dodgy and I wouldn't walk anywhere alone. I have friends I walk with as a girl however, for people who may not make friends, the university offers a free walk home service which I haven't made use of but have heard people have good experiences with. Ember lounge is a great place to hangout with friends. LRV is a place for events like club nights which are always a bit disappointing due to lines for the bar not being monitored so you spend 45 mins waiting for a drink with people pushing in front, the DJ is also awful so it could definitely be improved

I love the teachers, most are incredibly helpful and will go out of their way to help find solutions with you. They provide lots of guidance and most of them make you feel like they genuinely succeed and do well. There is great industry connections with multiple events being held such as a UKIE conference, and multiple different industry talks to help prepare you for placements/work/being in industry etc. We have access to most industry standard software in the labs at uni, though a slightly limited access at home (not having access to Photoshop, Speedtree and a few others). Though 24 hour labs are incredibly helpful and one of the best things for productivity and availability as it spreads out when people will use the PCs and allows night owls to work in their most comfortable environment. We have 2 modules per trimester with around 18 hours of lectures a week and 32 hours recommended home study. most lecturers will always reply within two working days.

Great 24 hour security always someone on the front desk who is friendly and helpful you can trust your post to be kept safe great accomodation however a bit dated if you have trouble with roommates, they are quick to act and help you out.
