While things have been difficult undertaking our clinical year during covid the staff have been very accommodating and have worked hard to still deliver as good of an experience as possible, so I am very grateful. I can imagine that when things return to normal it will be a first class experience.

Clinical teach facilities fantastic. Biggest and arguable best small animal hospital in Europe. Expansion of teaching faculty too.

Plenty of support offered whenever I’ve needed it.

Great in person teaching. Sometimes online learning could be more balanced ... a mixture of interactive tasks as well reading, videos and individual tasks.

Careers fair is well run and revive plenty of emails about opportunities. But careers service are not always very good at replying to emails.

Overall it has been a bit of a shock to the system both good and bad. It took time to adjust and find a good rhythm but I have loved seeing how much I have grown and learned from this experience which if I think about has been within a relatively short time frame. I look forward to the future and seeing how I will change over the next coming years, who I will meet, what I will learn and just generally what this crazy new university life has to offer. It has been tough but I feel so privileged and proud to be given such an opportunity of education.

They are satisfactory. However, the library is very small and the gym doesn’t have sufficient equipment.

Tutors don’t really offer any support and I’d say feedback is minimal. Counselling is there if you need it.

I think we have a good system whereby we have students who ask for our feedback in order to make improvements however perhaps there could be an area where people can leave feedback as opposed to questionnaires being sent as only some individuals respond to this.

The university is at a fairly good distance. I would say perhaps the information given originally was a little misleading as it takes 30mins when walking slowly and 20-25 of walking at a fast pace. All in all though yes I would say so.

There is a vast array of societies and sports to suite a wide range of different individuals. However, I think price is the main issue as I have met many individuals who cannot afford to do the things they love so perhaps there could be a way of making some societies more accessible.

I like how echo allows us to review lectures and go over bits we missed. I think it would be useful if perhaps we had access to a summary sheet of info for lectures and a quiz after each topic which focuses on the learning objectives that we could take as many times as we needed to help us see if we are on track.
