Veterinary Medicine foundation degrees in All England

WIFI is absolutely awful and there are many dead zones around campus. How can a top-level engineering university provide such poor internet connection, especially when all of our assignments are internet based and due online? I am constantly searching for places around campus with any useable connection and the VPN speeds when you're off campus are just unusable. It's the year 2024. How have we not figured this out yet? It's absolutely unaccusable. You have the money to build an entire new campus, but can't fix the internet at your main campus? Awful.

Campus is situated within the South Downs National Park providing beautiful views and lots of walks in nature. However, with campus being situated where it is, unless you can drive it can be difficult to get out and about. There is a bus service that goes to Lewes and Haywards Heath but these buses are not regular (every 2.5 hours) and would regularly be late/not show up. If living in the on-site accommodation they provide a weekly minibus service to Asda for you to do a food shop and will sometimes put on trips to the cinema, bowling, glowballs etc but numbers are limited for these and run on a first come first served basis. Onsite accommodation can be difficult if you are more of a quite person and prefer an early night as you are living with other over 18s who are new to university life and they are not yet dealing with the stress of final year dissertations. However, if the noise gets too loud the wardens will occasionally step in and tell the students to quiet down. Residential hosts parties throughout the year for all residents and these were enjoyable and planned well. Support received from Plumpton has been amazing! I attended with my guide dog and felt very welcome there with her attending classes and living in residential with me. Everything was arranged before we moved in and any access needs I had were listened to and implemented. My programme manager ensured we felt welcome from before we even began the course and invited us to view the campus again on a quieter day during the summer to do some preparation training which really helped ease any anxiety I had about attending in September. The HE team is also incredibly supportive and always there if you need anything. I became a student ambassador whilst at uni, which allowed for me to work at open days/evenings, as well as attending other events to promote Plumpton College. I would definitely recommend doing this as a way to enhance your CV and get some spending money whilst at uni in such a remote location. We had some comments about the course content however, these have been listened to and the course will be receiving a refresh over the next year with our input to make it what it needs to be! Overall I enjoyed my course at Plumpton College and would recommend attending an open day to get a feel for campus before committing to anything but the view of the south downs is what did it for me originally!

I'm currently studying BSc animal behaviour and welfare at Myerscough, the campus is lovely and the lecturers are all really understanding and helpful. The only downfalls are that the location isn't close to the town centre so it can be difficult to get to shops if you don't drive (there are buses though).
