What students say about government-and-politics

University of Hull has a beautiful and serene environment suitable for learning and even relaxing. The lecturers are very warm and receptive. Things that could be improved: student union (I don’t really see what they do, I’m sorry); the university should make arrangements with more landlords in order to make students living easier; Timetable should be more flexible (we asked for a change in my department but nothing was done)

The best aspect has definitely been the people and the culture in Liverpool. A vibrant, friendly and diverse environment! The worst aspect has been the weather and limited opportunities for international students to work.

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!

Great social life, good options for student societies, a lot of student support. A lot of professionals teaching on the course and it gave me exactly what I wanted for my career progression into genetics

The most positive point is the student support, so many ways to reach out for help regarding your studies and future carrer plans! In terms of student life I feel that while the university has a strong international presence, its student body is less nationally diverse compared to other universities, where international enrolment is spread across a wider range of countries.

What students say about government-and-politics

I am a remote learning student. I think there isn't as many interactive online sessions as I would have expected and the sessions there isn't a lot of class collaboration between students. However, support at university has been second to none, whenever I have got in touch with a department I have received a response within a working day.

Everyone I have met has been friendly and helpful. There are plenty of societies to join and the student union bar is great for a bit of socialisation on the side. I wish there were more green spaces to sit and quiet areas like the library dotted around. Parking is a bit hit and miss but there's plenty of buses.

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.

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.
