The staff and students around the campus are always so welcoming and friendly. It really makes me enjoy where I’m studying. I think something that could be improved is the university’s response to student based issues.

Best is the people and the quality of the education, worst has to deal with who runs UCL, administration has quite a few dirtbags. Facilitates aren't the greatest. I prefer more of a traditional campus feel and prefer KCL and LSE campus. Still considering coming back to UCL to apply for a LLM, alongside the other London unis, and maybe throw my shot at oxbridge.

Support Services are amazing. They go out of their way to support my peers and me. They are a credit to the university. - Lecturers are very supportive, especially with assignments University halls are in desperate need of refurbishing. Harry Law, Bateson and Rees are the main offenders. Generally, the university's estates need investment.

Many good aspects of the uni. Only main complaint is some of the lecture halls have really uncomfortable seating which makes it difficult go engage with the lecture itself. Aside from that, great lecturers, plentiful study areas, and pleasant community

The campus is easy access, even for someone who isn’t living in student accommodation on campus. Every member of staff and member of the student union that I’ve spoken to has been extremely helpful and has helped to clarify any issues that I’ve been having. The university of Leicester is a challenging, yet exciting institution to study at.

The 24 hour liabry does help a lot and this university is good when it comes to understanding external stressors and being mindful of them and it is a good uni for understanding learning disabilities, compared to others. Could be improved with telling all students what's available there a lot that is available but isn't to easy to find the information etc global citizens schemes.

I mostly study off campus so can't comment on student life. The support from my supervisors is amazing, so helpful and really really positive. Second supervisors also great. Support from wider team also amazing.

It provides an awesome environment and it is multicultural university which makes it unique. For residences, university should have more residences for PhD students so that students can take benefit from it.

The main thing I love about Uni of Manchester is that there is the campus feel that really makes you feel like a university student but also you are really close to the rest of a big city! I also have to mention the main library - shout out to purple obviously... an exceptional place to study. I will miss it so much when I've gone! UoM could be improved by making sure that courses are made more social! Apart from medicine, I don't know of any other course that makes an effort to mix the student populations of the course. In my undergrad, I knew about 5 people and that's it! There weren't really other opportunities for us to mix and to meet new people.

Great buildings and location with great transport links to major cities. Being taught by people who are the best in that field and being able to contribute to their research at an early time in your studies. The tutorial system with very few people in classes making learning much more interactive.
