What students say about biology-of-specific-environments

The support from university and staff has been amazing! Teaching is outstanding and great facilities. Only downfall is Aberdeens student life and location, the campuses aren’t very close together for people who rely on public transport . I find being a driver just as hard due to lack of parking and costs. £5.75+ per day to park adds up a lot for someone who doesn’t come from a wealthy family.

What students say about biology-of-specific-environments

The best parts of my experience are the academic support, and the societies. I appreciate when the uni provides good support for doing well in my assessments. The worst parts of my experience come from when the uni doesn't provide that assistance, for example when content of an exam is described poorly or not at all I'm advance, or when teaching materials are particularly difficult to understand.

What students say about biology-of-specific-environments

One of the things I love about my University is the accessibility of different resources and how you can get everything you need within a 10 to 20-minute walk. While it does rain quite often, I also love the climate and the landscape especially in my accommodation, which overlooks a cute little golf course. One of the things I am not very fond of, personally is the fact that the weather can make me feel low and depressed easily which has been a common occurrence, but that too is not so much a University thing as it is personal and geographical. To be frank, I do not have much to complain, if at all, about my time here in Bangor University.

What students say about biology-of-specific-environments

As an online student at the University of Portsmouth, I found the flexibility of the digital platform to be one of the biggest advantages. The ability to access lectures and resources on your own schedule made balancing studies with work and personal commitments much easier. The virtual learning environment was user-friendly, and the dedicated support staff helped resolve any technical issues promptly, contributing to a seamless learning experience. However, the online format also had its challenges. One of the most significant downsides was the reduced opportunity for face-to-face interaction, which made networking and building a community with peers a bit more difficult. Additionally, while the digital resources were comprehensive, there were occasional delays in receiving feedback or accessing certain materials compared to traditional classroom settings. Overall, my online experience at Portsmouth was highly rewarding, with the flexibility and accessibility being standout features. Addressing the challenges of community engagement and streamlining feedback processes could further enhance the online learning experience.

I've loved studying at the University of Plymouth so far! Staff are really friendly and have always been really happy to help. The SU is great for relaxing between lectures during the day as well as for clubbing on a Saturday night. I'm also really enjoying my course and Plymouth is in a great location to try out fieldwork in different habitats.

What students say about biology-of-specific-environments

Swansea is a really fine place to study. The campus is absolutely stunning, right by the sea, and it feels like you're constantly surrounded by nature. The lecturers are generally good, and I've liked my courses so far. However, the weather can be a bit grim sometimes! But overall, I've am having a fantastic time at Swansea.

The best aspects would be the wide range of societies for students to join! The worst I believe would be the lack on promotion on what there is to do and what is accessible for students, such as public lectures or different rooms that can be used by students that i’ve learnt recently.

What students say about biology-of-specific-environments

The campus is one of the best in the country. Very peaceful and relaxing atmosphere, friendly people, and great opportunities available. There’s something for everyone here! However, in my final year the new Student’s Union building was (and remains) incomplete, and some accommodation was delayed. Not entirely the fault of the University but they could have communicated/compensated better. Overall a fantastic experience. I’m glad I spent my ‘best years’ at Edge Hill!

Great place to study; staff is awesome and courses are engaging. As for improvement, better health services, especially for mental health. Some of the underlying things are not what they seem: i.e. lecturers have to strike every semester just to get paid and the school can be too focused on its reputation to see the individual and their needs.

I think the lecturers are great and there’s lots of good support for students with support plans. However, I think I would benefit from weekly (instead of fortnightly) seminars as I feel as if I do not get to properly engage in fortnightly seminars.
