Very enjoyable and manageable. Looking forward to the rest of the course. Took a while before we were able to do any real work with animals, however it was quickly addressed which was really good in terms od responsiveness to feedback

Academic skills lessons are a good opportunity to get these skills. Also aware of help through the library which is really useful to know. The moodle page is a really good source

Most - ALL of the course tutors delivering subjects are very knowledgeable, friendly, and approachable. Least - ???

Toilets are always fresh and available. Lots of good food options on different locations. Parking is sometimes an issue as the carpark does get full, which means we have to resort to staff or visitor parking.

Lots of support offered in many ways- (email, moodle, library)

It's been OK. Most people are great, has a good community feel if you live-in. Wardens are all brilliant and SU very accommodating and friendly. It's the students and current SU that make this place.

Set modules each year to develop employability. Each year you are required to do 150h work placement. You have some practical modules, which provides you with transferrable skills.

Some lessons are just a tutor reading off of a powerpoint that they don't seem to understand. It can get very boring, very quickly. Extremely easy to become disengaged. Practicals, dissections, and hands-on activities are the best.

The heating isn't on in classrooms until November. It's absolutely freezing, and makes it hard for concentration. Maintenance team are pretty slow if there's anything wrong with a room; spent the past month in a room infested with wasps - that had been reported each week and not sorted! Accommodation is ridiculously priced for what it is. Heating dodgy in most, apart from small halls. The whole place just needs a face-lift.

Grades takes at least 2 weeks, which can be very frustrating. Feedback varies massively between tutors - some give a good amount, some give barely anything. It takes months to see a counsellor. As someone with known depression and anxiety, the support just isn't there. May as well be back at school; if you're not in a lesson you get texts from course manager. You have to explain where you are. Little empathy to individuals situations.
