My best piece of advice for new students is to always start your coursework early! I have learnt that the hard way. I can not really say about uni accomodation because i have never used it or societies and clubs but the rest is pretty good.

I think Salford’s a great place to study because it’s really focused on helping students prepare for real jobs. The uni has strong links with different industries, so you’re not just learning theory, you actually get to see how it applies in the real world. The campus has some really good facilities too, especially the SEE Building and MediaCity — they give you a sense of working in a professional environment. And the people here are friendly. The lecturers are easy to talk to and actually care about how you’re doing.

Best: The course is really practical and links well to real construction work. Lecturers are supportive and use real examples, which makes learning easier. Worst: Sometimes communication about timetables or deadlines could be clearer, and a few more group sessions before assessments would help.
