What students say about criminology

For someone who has to live for the first time away from their family, that too in a new country. Bangor really welcomed me with open arms. From International Student Staff to the fraternity, everyone is so sweet and helpful. I love that they make you feel at home. Even if you’ve the slightest doubt , they are there to help you with it. I’m happy that I’m surrounded by such great people.

What students say about criminology

The best version of this university that every teacher is always ready to help the students in every circumstances even lectures were delivered very well. The entrie environment is cool in campus even we I experienced different culture, vibes and languages. There is nothing as such worst in the campus, however I as international student I feel sometimes confused because of language barriers or digital method of students. As it can be improved if every single step will be clear to students means time to time guidance is required here. As per my conviction, everything is looking new and I am on exuberant stage because I was eagerly waiting to come in this university to learn about business skills hope I will be on track after completing master's.

What students say about criminology

The campus is easily accessible by bus and also offers a car park, getting to campus is so easy and convenient and the area is a lot quieter as it’s not central, they offer an app where you can earn points when you buy from the food places in the uni the points turn into money which u can then spend, the thing I found the hardest was getting around I would’ve enjoyed a tour on my first day it would’ve made me feel less nervous but the people at reception are happy to help the support from my lectures especially my personal tutor has been amazing I couldn’t have picked a uni more convenient for me.

What students say about criminology

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.

What students say about criminology

The SU and student life were probably the weakest parts of my university experience, but this is likely in part due to the small size of Aberystwyth. There were a range of societies but many stopped and restarted at various points. The campus has a great atmosphere and is just the right size!

What students say about criminology

It’s a great uni for social life. The finance team I found was a bit tight. On my campus, there is no microwave or kettle or canteen, just a vending machine. Sometimes, I find the course confusing with the lack of guidance.

What students say about criminology

There is great support for students and facilities, especially for photography. I have been able to create high-quality prints and experiment with various cameras and lighting. As well as knowing that my lecturers are there to support me. The building is situated well in the centre of Cardiff, with it being very accessible to various student accommodations, shops, places to go out and transport links. However, the student union could host more events to bring students together even more.
