I attended this university for my undergraduate degree over a decade ago, and I cherished my experience then just as much as I do now. Currently, I find myself in a different phase of life as a mature student with a young family. Nevertheless, I believe that the student experience and facilities continue to meet my needs, even as they differ from those I had during my undergraduate studies. Across all campuses, the staff are exceptionally friendly and welcoming. The environment is clean and well-maintained, fostering a strong sense of pride among both students and staff. Overall, the university feels safe and inclusive. I wouldn't say there is a worst aspect of my university experience, as I feel it meets my expectations at this stage in my career and life.

My time here in the two-year course has been quite good overall. When COVID-19 started everything went up the left and the college wasn't able to cope very well, though I feel they are very slowly improving their services and cooperation with students. However, just recently they disabled OneDrive syncing to personal devices so that has made a lot of student's work routines more difficult.

I really wanted to study Health and Social Care further to enable me to have in depth knowledge and be prepared to potentially study a nursing degree. One major problem I was facing was not wanting to leave home just yet UCNL providing me that very option. The staff within Uni are supportive and friendly and accommodating. They always try and push you to reach your full potential.

Best - The food is Very good, The behaviour of Staff is decent, The students are sometimes a pain in the backside but most of them are nice, the outside area is pretty good, the location could be a little bit better but it's good, the courses in college are also good, I would personally say that Blackburn College is a good college to go to, however It has some disadvantages such as the way and the behaviour of some staff towards students and students behavior towards staff. Another disadvantage Could be the wait for your food as there is too many students trying to get a drink / food (I would recommend that 1st years, 2nd years and etc get a different break as this would decrease the wait time) the Atmosphere of college is good, The health and Safety in Blackburn is also good but it could improve a little bit by the security of the gates for students and staff since some people (that don't have a lanyard) they may enter the college area whilst be able to have full access to the area that is off limits to people that aren't students / staff I would recommend that, some students can make their own group (no bad ones, just kind ones) as maybe this option may let students to be more creative and to have a chance for becoming a powerful person.
