Go to Freemens if you have the money!

From entering University of Leicester on my first day I instantly felt welcomed by the lovely staff and environment, the buildings and facilities they have to offer are brilliant and easy to navigate. Another bonus is the location, only a 15 minute walk from town centre, and buses to and from accommodation regularly. My university experience has been unforgettable, and I’ve only been here for a short while. The only negative I’d have to say is common areas can become quite crowded, like the student union, so it would be ideal if we had maybe another space for doing work socially.

My course has lovely lecturers, however, I feel we do not see our personal tutor enough and there is a lack of guidance when it comes to assignments and what is expected from us as students.

The university halls, from my experience, have all been very well maintained and security are always consistent when there are any issues. My only complaint would be the location as it is half an hour on the bus from uni, and even further from town centre. Regardless of this though, I would recommend staying in the village to any first years because you get a lot of opportunities to meet others within your year and build connections while soothing into living alone.
