What students say about film-studies

I love the campus and the atmosphere we have. its a beautiful place to study and i have enjoyed my time here. All the staff are wonderful, I have a brilliant supervisors and enjoy my course. I have learnt a lot whilst at Lancaster However, i find that the student union is broken, it does not uphold its own beliefs. The societies may work but the actual student union body is useless. it needs and overhall, and needs attention brought to the actions of the staff and how people follow their regulations.

What students say about film-studies

Studying at Raindance completely changed my career. When I joined I was a one-person filmmaker and had already made more than 100 short films, but not much visibility to others. My masters project short film was awarded 45 wins in festivals around the world. This success was due to the insightful mentoring from Raindance tutors, listening and working creatively with others, valuing research and feedback and deeply reflecting on my voice and goals. It was a pleasure to work this such a brilliant and diverse team on a film that was so meaningful to me. I feel that I have taken big step in my filmmaking career. I learnt a lot from active listening and learning from people who are more experienced than me. I will continue to do so and will be actively involved in developing the Raindance community.

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.

The environment and atmosphere of the campus is very enjoyable and pleasant. There are many learning areas to do work and chill with friends. In my opinion, although the library is well equipped, it lacks aesthetic appeal. There could be more affordable shops to get quick snacks from.

Student safety and community feel is very strong. Lots of history surrounding the university and the town is beautiful. To improve I would have better transport for student to move between town and the nearest cities (like Edinburgh), better nightlife for the students and more accomodation.

What students say about film-studies

I would say that the city is amazing, the nightlife and the people and places to go and experience the proper Liverpool culture are great. The uni campus is very nice with lots of places to sit, surrounded by nice architecture. I would say some of the educational buildings seem a bit outdated and sometimes the toilet facilities are a bit of a walk but other than that lectures are scheduled within proximity so that there is not too much walking around. The union is amazing with so many great societies and the bar and guild events are spot on!

What students say about film-studies

Getting used to living at university, I have found this last month absolutely crazy, and I can honestly say that the life of Sussex uni, with the societies and art and the flurry of creative events that are always running, has been massively inspiring in terms of really wanting to become integrated in the culture. I came to Brighton and Sussex for the art scene, the LGBTQ+ vibes, the seaside town, the access to nature and to London as a hub... so many reasons - but now living here in practise, I've found myself even more supported and reassured than expected. The buzz, nightlife and openness of all of the clubs and societies has been a significant part of the Uni, and I've found myself motivated to go and explore as much as humanely possible. There have of course been harder parts: settling in is a big deal, and a very new and sometimes overwhelming experience. I'd been having trouble with my room for a while, which has a consistent drone noise, and despite trying to get it sorted by emailing various teams of people, it hasn't been resolved, and that's been very frustrating for me. I just want to sleep. But it terms of most other things, everyone has also been very helpful and friendly, and so figuring out all the elements of uni life has been made very easy and accessible, which I appreciate.
