One of the best things about our university in my opinion is how pleasant the campus is and how great the on site accommodation is, It makes me feel really at home when im staying in my accommodation. Birmingham itself is a bit of a mixed bag though, i think its cool being in the city but there are a lot of homeless people around and i also don’t think the city is as exciting as a lot of other places, like there doesn’t really seem much to do around here really and there are a lot of rough areas. I also think astons student union could be a little better, the building itself and everything is amazing but there doesn't seem to be as much clubs and stuff as a lot of other unis I've seen, though to be honest i haven't really looked into it that much. Overall though i really like it here and im happy with my course, i feel like what im learning is relevant and that there is a lot of support available with work, we also have a lot of great facilities too like a really nice library.

Overall im pretty satisfied with my course, the way they teach here leans a lot into self study which means im only in for about 2-3 hours on most days, which is great because i feel free to study whenever i want and like i have time for other stuff such as a job. At the same time though there is a lot of support such as the ability to book one on one appointments with lectures if you need more help for example. I study computer science and for our degree they also give us laptops that we do our work from, this is one of my favourite things about this university because the laptops they give us are actually pretty good and the fact you bring your own laptop to labs and stuff instead of using a desktop given to you just makes working easier.

I love the fact that our accommodation is actually on campus, like the main building is right next door, and the actual campus its self is really nice too. I also love that the rooms are all ensuite as standard and how each room seems to have more plug sockets than anyone would ever reasonably need. Also if you ever need help with anything like maintenance related for example, it’s easy to get help and from my experience the people in reception are really friendly and helpful. The only problem i have really is that sometimes they dont seem to pay much attention to things like the common area, like when i first moved in our kitchen and shared space seemed a little dirty, the common room also has a vending machine with drinks but i don't think I've ever actually seen them in stock. It would also be cool if the laundry machines were a little cheaper to use. Overall though i think our accommodation and campus are fantastic.

There should be study areas for people who don't like to be in crowded areas

There should be more lectures in person
