What students say about childhood-studies

The student report is great and really accessible for all different types of issues and problems you may need. Some of the buildings look quite dull, I would like if the lecture rooms had more windows.

Studying at Birmingham City University in the Curzon building is great because of the modern facilities, comfortable study spaces, and central location, which makes everything convenient. It could be improved by adding more quiet study areas during busy times and better communication about timetable updates.

I was in the Bedford campus and the student life was limited. This was because many people travelled into uni from their homes. The student union was great at providing activities in the afternoons/ evenings. They also support students. all you have to do is email them or go to social events.

What students say about childhood-studies

Overall, my uni experience has been really positive. It’s a pretty new university, which shows in the facilities, and there’s a lot of support available if you need it. The lectures are generally good and engaging, which makes a big difference. That said, there have been some frustrating moments, especially with miscommunication around things like timetables—it can get confusing and a bit stressful when information isn’t clear or changes last minute. The handling of the meningitis situation could also have been better, as we only got an email quite late after cases had already been reported, which didn’t feel very reassuring. Outside of uni, Canterbury is a nice place to live and has a great atmosphere, even if it can be a little boring at times.

What students say about childhood-studies

I am an international student on distance mode, therefore I do not get the opportunity to use the physical infrastructures of the university. This is the reason why I could not rate higher for some areas. However, although online, I am well supported by the virtual learning platform and my research supervisors.

What students say about childhood-studies

University of Worcester is friendly and inviting , the green spaces are brilliant and really bring a sense of zen to uni life. The students union has a lot to offer and are very supportive. Aswell as this the hangar has everything you need for socialising. The support of staff is second to none . The only thing I would say is the parking is very expensive and sometimes I would prefer all of my course related lectures on one campus rather than split across two

One of the best parts of studying at Roehampton University is the friendly and supportive environment. The lecturers explain topics clearly and are always willing to help when students have questions. The campus is peaceful, with good facilities like the library, study rooms, and social spaces, which makes it a comfortable place to learn. I also enjoy meeting classmates from different countries and backgrounds because it helps me learn new ideas and understand different cultures. The teaching style at Roehampton makes learning easier and more enjoyable. Seminars and group activities help me understand the lessons better, and the coursework is practical, helping me connect what I learn to real-life situations. I feel that the university encourages students to think independently and build confidence. Overall, I feel supported in my studies, and this has helped me grow both academically and personally. Even though my experience has been positive, there are some areas that could improve. Sometimes the workload feels heavy, especially when deadlines are close together. Communication about certain tasks or readings can be unclear at times. More career support, part-time job opportunities, and more flexible timetables would also make things easier for students. However, these challenges are common in most universities, and Roehampton still offers a good overall student experience.

The worse aspects is to do with the cost. The food and drinks on campus are so expensive, for example a meal deal is between £6-7 so most of us go to co op to get a meal deal for £4 which is usually better quality. As well as this, this uni pushes supporting mental well being but the gym isn’t free for students when it used to be in previous years. It’s a lovely uni that does promote the student but in the same respect isn’t student friendly.
