No work experience, but blended learning works well, lecturers are enthusiastic and willing to answer questions, regular meetings are scheduled, and course hours are very reasonable.

Easy access to Stirling, which boasts a major shopping area and a variety of businesses. THe campus has scenic views, and a nearby train station connects it to the rail network.

The campus location is very pretty but it is too far from town so there isn't a lot to do. The unilink bus runs from campus to town every 8 minutes but for students aged 22 or over like me, the service isnt free so the cost adds up quite a bit in the long run. So I think it could be improved by making the unilink free of charge for all students that are enrolled at Stirling regardless of their age.

Some of my modules have lab classes where we are expected to show up having listened to recorded lectures online - I would prefer it if it were the other way around where we have in-person lectures after which we could do the lab exercises in our own time.

What do you think about the safety, condition, location and cost of your accommodation?
There's no reception desk in my building so it feels a bit unsafe in that regard. Also, when I moved in the whole place was covered in cobwebs and quite dirty - with the amount of money I pay weekly I expected to move into a clean flat at the very least but it was extremely dirty. The carpets stained, couches scratched and the bathroom full of spiders.
The location is very convenient as it is super close to my classes. The wifi works smoothly most of the times.
