The university is a beautiful place to study at, I have made many friends from different courses here. I believe that if I had gone to another university I would have only made friends from my own course. But due to the way I was housed in my foundation year I found it much easier to make a variety of friends from different courses. The campus is truly breathtaking and i really enjoy walking around with a cup of coffee. Me and my friends always find it more productive to study in the student centre, with its big windows, this means that we get alot of sun throughout the winter months. It is warm and cosy and there is a cafe downstairs if you get peckish or need a pick me up. I think this is my favourite place in the whole campus. My University course is something that has brought pride into my life, I waited for a few years after college to choose what I wanted to do at university, I feel like I am on the perfect path for me and UCLan has helped me transition smoothly from my full time job to full time study. I feel supported by my lecturers and fellow students to be the best that I can be. My studies have consisted of me studying abroad and at home and i believe this has helped me grow into a better, well rounded person, I have more understanding for other cultures and I have developed a deep appriciation for studying with this uni. However, I do believe that the societies do not seem to be as active as I would have assumed when first coming here. There are a few active societies for example sports, however the other societies dont seem to do much at all. I believe that if they could be more active my experience would go from great to fantastic. Although, I do believe that the activeness of the societies is not the uni's problem but the city and the students. Other than this I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience at UCLan and am excited for my future years here.

We only have one online class and this is on a monday so it is really nice to be able to roll out of bed and go to class with out leaving your room. The majority of the teachers are amazing and I feel so proud to be in their classes and to be taught by them. However I do think that there are a few lecturers who do not work hard enough to help the students as much as they possibly could be. These lectures don't deliver the content as well as other teachers that I have had. Although, this is only a minority of tutors. We usually are in classes every day but not wednesdays, and the classes are usually just the right length with breaks to grab coffee or fresh air throughout.

I couldn't be happier with my accomodation. I was allocated a room last year and have stayed in the same room this year. I will probably be staying here for the majority of my course. The staff are friendly and are always up for a chat, I have never missed a parcel since moving here :) My roommates are nice and I have an ensuit bathroom so I dont need to worry about other peoples bathroom messiness. I love my own space so this accomodation was the perfect place for me. There is a shop down stairs that has everything that you might need if you dont want to go to a supermarket, and the staff are super friendly and will remember your face. I have had the best time staying here and i think it has made my uni life so much easier and much more comfortable. The wifi is fast, the kitchen appliences all work perfectly and the staff are always around if you need help or just want to chat. There is also an onsite gym that i found really useful when I don't want to leave the accomodation or have too much to do and can't go too far.

The UCLan is a great place to study as it ensures a heart-warming welcome to all students from different parts of the world. It's a well organized university with staff readily available to answer whatever questions or clarifications you may have and help point you in the right direction. Whilst studying at the UCLan, you can be rest assured that you will be well supported throughout your studies!

My course is research-based with some few weeks of in-class learnings, and a time table that is convenient and allows for involvement in other activities.
