The University of Cumbria is a great place to go as it has such a homely feel. Because it is quite small it is easy to make friends, especially in your first week during freshers week where the university put on many great nights out so you can make friends with other people in the uni and not just on your course. Freshers faire is a great way to find out about societies and clubs in the university. The societies arenall run by students and they are so kuch fun as you again make friends with people who are not on your course but also from other years.

The placement opportunities that the university provide are an excellent experience and from talking to other teaching students from other universities not all universities offer the opportunity to apply their knowledge in a learning setting. The modules, university and tutors all support this learning and development.
