The university offers a lot of support in terms of academic and student wellbeing and what to do if you’re struggling which makes it a positive experience. I haven’t had a negative experience at university other than adjusting to the work load which is quite different from a levels.

The course has been interesting and has all been through in class teaching which I think makes it easier to concentrate, and lecturers offer support in their offices during their work hours. However for some of the modules it feels like the lecturers are just reading off the PowerPoints which we have already access to and due to the large amount of people in my course it’s hard to get help in the lectures if you are struggling with something.

The rooms are reasonably spacious with storage space and the kitchen comes with most essential amenities. The things I like the least is the bathrooms are quite cramped and the heating in the rooms doesn’t stay on for long unless you move around which means the rooms get very cold at night in winter.

I have enjoyed my 3 years at university and the variety of module content within the course. There is an extensive amount of support from the university and staff willing to push you but help. The campus in some aspects is a bit old but it’s a part of the Portsmouth look. The library gets very busy but all university building offer computer and open space to do work. There is a lot to choose from in terms of the slight variation in courses. Here I would recommend to do more in-depth research of as some don’t say exactly what make them so different. I will be looking at hopefully doing my masters at the university at Portsmouth and potentially making the city my new home in the future years to come.

Some of the teaching is very vage where lectures read word for word of slides. I really enjoy the in class teaching and feel engaged with the content being taught. Some lectures hours can be long ensign between 2-3hr which can be mentally draining and in some I find I loose the concentration quicker but then I use the opportunity to do other uni work if needed.

I hope to one day make Portsmouth my future home location. I’ve become very settled and love the variety. I do feel safe walking around just careful at night but will always be in a city and from my childhood background. Wide option of shops, transport, it’s easily do able to walk about from one location to the other.

Student halls will be student halls. I was fortunate enough to stay in Catherine which is modern and well kept. It is expensive and I think personally the coast could go down slightly. However it’s one of the best halls I’ve seen out of all universities that’s modern and spacious. However they don’t provide a kettle or toaster which is odd to me….
