Gorgeous campus buildings. Amazing surrounding area for hiking, walks, or just site seeing. Accommodation is very good with cleaners and security and laundry rooms. Friendly lecturers. Many societies, sports clubs, volunteering and campus life opportunities.

Taught in class. Some days have many hours of class time and some have little to none. My course does not have a regular class schedule. Lecturers are friendly. Haven't contacted them directly online so unsure of timings. Sometimes take a while to grade work.

(Context: I live in an 8 person flat but we only have 6 residents) Rooms are laid out lovely. Kitchen is decent size with two stoves and sinks so good for shared flat. Fridges decent size. Very far to walk to most shops though. Shower heads are weird and have one big hole and not many small ones, sometimes shower curtain can stick to you due to small, triangular shower layout.

The best thing about my university is the location - you cannot compete with it anywhere within the UK. If you like walking, there are innumerable mountain and lowland walks to go on and frankly, if you haven't had a great day, just being able to stare at the mountains from your accommodation tends to make you feel better - especially when they are covered in snow! For my degree, there aren't that many lectures, which is great as it allows me to pursue plenty of work experience opportunities as well as allowing me plenty of time to explore this beautiful place. In terms of improvement, lots of the clubs have limited spaces as they are so popular, so you end up struggling to get to go sometimes which is a shame. Also, some of the lectures when we've been in larger classes have been quite pointless and I haven't gained anything attending them.

The positives of my course: - They take us on lots of fieldtrips which is really interesting and it's nice to get away from theory work at points - We only have in-class lectures - We don't have too many lectures, so we have plenty of time to pursue other interests (such as gaining work experience) - It is very hands-on with the practicals, we always go out into the field to collect our data - The assignments are nicely spread out to give us time to work through them The negatives of my course: - As we can be in quite big classes a lot of the time, you don't get that one-to-one contact with your lecturers all that much and I miss having that a bit, although I think this can apply to most university degrees - At the beginning they barely taught us how to do references and just gave us a bibliography assignment and expected us to figure it out - Some of the lectures are pointless and a waste of my time

I like that we all have an ensuite and that I have a lovely view from my window and the bedrooms are spacious. Also, if you have any maintenance issues, they are always right out to fix it. Furthermore, the accommodation village has lots of trees and is quiet and away from the rest of the city. What I don't like is that the drains in the shower get blocked very easily, that some kitchens only have one very small window and it can end up feeling very claustrophobic. Also, the storage space is inadequate both in the kitchen and bedroom and some of the kitchens have very little workspace, we had one workspace to share with 7 other people.
