What students say about ancient-history

Best aspects would definitely be the people and the location. By the beach but with safe and lively night life, which in my opinion is important for most undergrad students, also the welsh are lovely and friendly. It depends on the area but overall the city feels extremely safe which was important for me. Some of the buildings on the old campus (singleton) look a bit run-down especially when the sun isn't out so it might be worth them revamping some buildings to make certain parts look less depressing. But again thats only a few, and the walk to campus is lovely especially as theres a massive park/green space right next to campus, with a 2 minute detour taking you right to the beach. Can't say too much on the students' union because it looks good but i havent really engaged with it. They always have some sort of event going on but honestly i havent been to many, so maybe the events could be more engaging so more people including myself would go.

What students say about ancient-history

Overall, it’s a fantastic place to study because of the quality of teaching, the welcoming community, and the range of opportunities available. One of the best aspects of my university experience has been the strong sense of community. The supportive environment among students and staff makes it a genuinely great place to study. Lecturers are approachable, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about their subjects, which makes learning engaging and motivating. The course structure is well-designed, balancing theory with practical application, and it prepares students effectively for future careers. Increasing access to wellbeing and academic support services during peak assessment periods would make a significant difference. Expanding quiet study spaces during exam season would also help accommodate the higher demand. With improved communication and slightly more student-focused flexibility in administrative processes, the experience could be even better.

The location is very well, the campus is good, but the toilets is not enough, specially, because we have a lot people inside and for some people need to wash feat to pray, the don't have the place. We need more toilets space.
