My university experience so far has been amazing. The uni is very supportive, my family lives overseas so the support from university with this has been amazing, i feel as though there are loads of facilities I can access. The focus on students and mental health is evident at the uni, with loads of support and access to facilities. Anything we have concerns on during the course we can speak to our course rep, to see if any changes will be made. I constantly take the bus, which has deals with the university for discount tickets. As I use the bus regularly it’s really useful. There is no direct regular bus route from where I live to uni, so I have to walk 10/15 minutes from the bus stop through town. For my course there are loads of amazing facilities for our crime scene module including a house, car and green area. Using these facilities every 3/4 weeks for practicals. My course currently for exams, is assignment and practical based. Which is really good for me personally as I get anxiety around sitting exams.

The course is really enjoyable, anything that could be a sensitive topic lecturers do give trigger warnings and all lecture topics are posted on moodle. The course is mainly taught in person, with practicals and seminars every few weeks. Currently we have one online lecture due to the lecturer being overseas. We have lectures 4 days a week, each week any reading is posted with the lecture powerpoint. So it’s specified to the lecture.

Night life could be better. I love how helpful my lecturers are.

Most lecturers are very helpful, however some are dismissive. And could be more interactive with us.

Amazing rooms. Expensive laundry
