The best part of coming to the University of Chichester is that the lectures are genuinely interesting and I feel happy to go in every day. The university is very supportive and cares for the well-being of all of its students. The university is also incredibly diverse and accepting of everyone.

I love my lecturers, they explain the course in an incredibly detailed and easy to learn way. The course work is also manageable and even if it wasn't i would feel comfortable to reach out to my tutors. The course hours are great as it leaves a lot of time for assignments, work and just relaxing.

I live in Stockbridge halls. Most aspects of the halls is great, it was easy to meet my flatmates, the room is a reasonable size and so is the cupboard space. My only issue is the wifi is genuinely awful, it disconnects a lot, and even when it is connected it barely works, with all of my flatmates as well, it makes it incredibly difficult to have a normal conversation with my partner and family. I have to try and reconnect it about every half an hour because it just stops working.

Going into my final year, I think the Uni has overall offered me a positive experience. As a benefit of it being a smaller university, lecturers are very keen to keep up to date with students and will prompt one on one sessions to keep in the loop with your progress. They will also often email if you don't show up to class to check in. Classes are usually quite small, and are often mixed with different courses. One negative that particularly bothered me is due to how small some classes are, second and third year module choices were at the very least for me, removed, and meant that we just got whatever modules the uni chose, rather than being given the option to choose as advertised via UCAS. Facilities are good, there's multiple group booths in the library and loads of computers for access so you can always grab one if you need it. The Bishop Otter Campus does have a smaller library than the Bognor campus but both have a great amount of resources. There is parking fees, but it's only £1.35 a day and University of Chichester buses are free. There's a huge range of different social clubs and the student union hosts a range of events, including a club every (I think) Wednesday night. However, if you're after the drinking uni experience, Chichester is very much an old person 'city' (it's just a small town) and there's only like 2 places you can go to party, one of which being a spoons. There's a variety of support for different issues with the wellbeing team, academic advisors and career advisors and there's also a large amount of gender neutral toilets which is super progressive and I can imagine helps a lot of students feel more comfortable. I think it was a good experience. For me as a quieter individual, I think I would've preferred to blend in a bit more at a larger uni and I don't think I've made any friends but I don't regret my experience here.

The first year, half our content was online, and from what I'm aware myself and other students basically ignored all online content. However after this there wasn't really a transition coming out of COVID and all content was suddenly in person. It makes it very difficult when it comes to assessments due the lack of ability to recap properly. Some teachers will just read off a PowerPoint presentation, and some are really great and helpful and actually know how to do their job. It's very much a mix of good and bad.

Due to the large population of older generations, it's not really a student location. The town centre is great for part time jobs as well as Goodwood being a good temporary option. Transport is great if you live in the centre of town but outside of that good luck. Safety I would argue is okay, but there have been a few reported incidents to the police of sexual assaults on students coming back to dorms after a night out which is concerning.
