Overall I have thoroughly enjoyed my first year at this university. For those thinking about enrolling you will enjoy it im sure. I currently study history and love the course.
Facilities
How good are your university's facilities?
The facilities are very good. The gym is great but make sure that you will go regularly before you commit otherwise its a waste of 60-180 quid. Library is excellent and it has a shop on campus at reasonable prices.
Student support
How good is the support offered by the uni? Think both academic (tutors/feedback) and personal (counselling, etc).
Great student support. And very quick process of matriculation.
Students' union
What do you think of your Students' Union in terms of student representation and facilities?
The bouncers are arrogant, unfair and judgemental. Other than that its a brilliant experience particularly in freshers week. Make sure you have ID though or it wont be fun. I also recommend a freshers band, you get better treatment.
Local life
Is your university in a good location in terms of distance to accommodation and local amenities?
The underground a great. High entrt fee though...for a student.
Societies and Sports
How would you rate the variety of societies/sports?
Having only joined the basketball club I can only comment on that. Its great. Costs 55 quid for the year but if you dont have a sports gym membership it will cost you 3 quid per session.
Lecturers and teaching quality
What do you like most and least about the way your course(s) are taught?
Lecturer clearly have a passion for the subject and this is evident throughout. Dr Storrs always makes lectures and tutorials interesting.
Career prospects
How does your uni make efforts to increase your employability (careers department, work placements, transferable skills)?
Above 80% of graduates go into employment after the first 6 months of graduating.
University halls
What do you think about the safety, condition, location and cost of your accommodation?
I live in belmont flats. The rent is far too high in my opinion. Its 610 pounds a month for a smallish room with an ensuite. Average facilitiea really. Bring some things to decorate it or it will feel like a prison. You get a single bed (its ok) a large desk (good) and large wardrobe. The wifi is horrific and cuts out frequently in the rooms furthest away. 1 and 4. You get ethernet though and thats fine.
