What students say about children-and-youth-social-work

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 children-and-youth-social-work

I feel that I have still learned a lot, but many of the assessments have been changed from practice assessments to essays or tests. I just can’t wait to be on campus because I know it will be so much better. I can’t give a proper opinion until I see what everything is like for myself

What students say about children-and-youth-social-work

I love the city in general. The University's libraries are good. with proper facilities that I can use, such as discussion rooms, computers, printers, even 3D printer! Some buildings look so old but in positive ways, make them look classic and cultured. However, in my own experience, some classrooms are a little bit aged. i mean, like some chairs are feel old, they are sometimes kind of wobbly, and some of them do not have enough leg room. Main library can be crowded when exam days come, but I think that is something that can not be avoided. i think it is good to add some space for classrooms or some like study hubs.
