What students say about economics

Best experience is the facilities, and the student centre. Worst experience? I have two: the accommodation office and the actual course. During summer break, I am having a lot of problems trying to find somewhere to stay until September 6th, and they have offered me an extension in the same building where I currently am - on the top floor, and I am disabled, which they know. They five hundred quid for me to stay there for just six weeks - disgusting. Second - the course. I was really enjoying it until the summer placement (Bone Boot Camp). The mornings were fine, as we were talking about the skeleton - I want to go into bioarchaeology and osteoarchaeology when - or if - I graduate. There were too much emphasis on social media, or a 'Social Media Takeover' as it's called. ! And I thought archaeology and anthropology were sciences, not to be taken lightly, but this makes it seem like a joke, and a bad one, at that. It's clear this course is engineered to appeal to much younger students, and not someone nearly 50, as I am. I am good with technology, but I don't think social media should be part of this course, or career. If I wanted to be an influencer, I would be putting dumb videos on YouTube or TikTok. I just can't take it seriously anymore, and all this stress of what's happening right now? I am really thinking about dropping out, because it's not worth the aggravation. I gave up my home, and my job to do this, and it was obviously a sacrifice that I shouldn't have made. UCLAN is great if you're under 35. If not, you're screwed

What students say about economics

It’s a great place to study because the campus and the convenience of the student accommodations/ houses near campus is good. It is also good teaching wise as most of the professors are top tier. What could be improved is that the support is horrible. When students are stressed we don’t know where to go especially the team of law is not supportive, even the professors are more supportive. It’s hard to be understood by them or to get some clarity. I wish they’d be more helpful

Best aspects: The university provides a supportive learning environment with helpful lecturers and good academic resources. The campus is generally welcoming, and there are plenty of opportunities to develop skills both academically and personally. Worst aspects / Improvements: One issue that needs improvement is the heating and hot water system, as it does not always work properly. At times, students only have access to cold water, which can be uncomfortable and difficult, especially for students who are sensitive or have health issues related to cold temperatures. Ensuring reliable heating and hot water would greatly improve student comfort and wellbeing.

The best aspect of the uni experience would be the campus. There are many things to do here, as long as you actually head over to the Hope Park campus. I didn’t do this for the first two years but did in the final year and it was life changing!

The best part of my university experience is how helpful my lecturers/academic advisors are. I also like how friendly students are on my campus. I don't have anything to say for "worst" aspect of university since I enjoy my time here.

The best aspects are the student union and the facilities available. I think it could be improved if we had more books generally available at the library without requiring click and collect, since right now the library feels like a study space but not a real library.

Northumbria's sports facilities are fantastic, I love sports central. As a sport lover it is a great place to go, super encouraging at getting students to be involved in sports whether through participating or watching. The psychology department is brilliant, nice big rooms and social spaces for independent study or group chats. Habita is cosy and big, always showing sports, fun music and cheap food and drinks.

The student report is great and really accessible for all different types of issues and problems you may need. Some of the buildings look quite dull, I would like if the lecture rooms had more windows.
