What students say about human-geography

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 human-geography

My Course: really good law course with good lecturers, however seminar teaching and small group teaching can be very varied in quality, and often there is not much time for 1/1 support and feedback, especially in assessments. The School of Law and Social Justice put on really interesting career events every single week in the event space to meet employers, and there are lots of opportunities to develop employability such as volunteering at the law clinic. University in general: I love the University campus despite there being a few roads that run though it, it is a nice place to be and there is a community feel when you walk around campus, everyone feels welcome and there is always something going on. Student support is not the best, it takes ages to get an appointment, if you even get one, but once you have reasonable adjustments in place then things are generally okay. The Guild of Students: The guild feels like a second home at Uni, it is a very welcoming space that you can go to for whatever occasion, and there is always something going on there as well.

Worst is library computers, they have to include usbc for computer extension. I like the organisation I wish they had more international student support considering we’re paying 3x more for the same thing
