What students say about humanities

I've loved studying at the University of Plymouth so far! Staff are really friendly and have always been really happy to help. The SU is great for relaxing between lectures during the day as well as for clubbing on a Saturday night. I'm also really enjoying my course and Plymouth is in a great location to try out fieldwork in different habitats.

What students say about humanities

As I am doing an apprenticeship, I don't live on campus, so I can't speak on student life or student unions, so I have marked them as neutral. For nurses, there is a good simulation sweet with mannequins that are hooked up to machines that can play out different situations. If you are doing an apprenticeship that goes over the summer, things like the café are closed for the holidays, but the shop remains open. The location is good for nursing as it is opposite Derriford. However, it is not close to the city center or Mutley, so it may be hard to get back to campus if you are thinking about nightlife. Parking is also expensive if you are not living on campus (I would assume you would get a permit if you live there, but I don't know for sure). The campus looks smart and is clean, with a nice open green space in the middle of the N,E,S, and W blocks. It's nice and open in communal spaces, and I haven't had an issue finding a place to sit; however, I am also only there one day a week. There is an excellent student support network, and this is for those with additional needs and those who just need a helping hand while at uni. Depending on what you need, they have different things on offer, from canceling sessions to support in the library with assignments and how to structure them. The university can also help fund assessments for things like dyslexia, which can open up some funding for the software you may need to help with writing essays. They also have dogs in the hub who are very cute. Overall, I would say that I like studying at this university and have been impressed with the support they have in place for students, but I don't live there, so I can't give an accurate review of the full experience.
