What students say about occupational-therapy

Northampton university is amazing when it comes to inclusiveness. I feel like I am being supported in the ways I need to be. This is complemented by how amazing the lecturers are and how they make every class fun and interesting. However there are several flaws. The lack of student study spaces that are quite and actually available is hard to come by there is also tbe issue of not having wifi that reaches all the classrooms. Most of the week I am out of wifi range so am unable to use the resources I need to study on campus.

What students say about occupational-therapy

I attended this university for my undergraduate degree over a decade ago, and I cherished my experience then just as much as I do now. Currently, I find myself in a different phase of life as a mature student with a young family. Nevertheless, I believe that the student experience and facilities continue to meet my needs, even as they differ from those I had during my undergraduate studies. Across all campuses, the staff are exceptionally friendly and welcoming. The environment is clean and well-maintained, fostering a strong sense of pride among both students and staff. Overall, the university feels safe and inclusive. I wouldn't say there is a worst aspect of my university experience, as I feel it meets my expectations at this stage in my career and life.

What students say about occupational-therapy

The University of Hertfordshire has great facilities, but there are quite a few unnecessary procedures that could be streamlined, such as booking appointments for even the smallest matters. My experience so far has been disappointing from an academic perspective. I was expecting better quality education, but instead, most of the lectures consist of simply reading from PowerPoint slides, and the practical sessions have been far from engaging. While I understand that self-study is important, not all students, especially international ones like myself, have prior industrial experience or expertise. It's crucial that the university recognizes this and provides clearer, more detailed information about the curriculum, how exams work, and what is expected in terms of assessments. Relying solely on self-study and putting too much responsibility on the students isn’t fair, especially when we're paying for a quality education.

From my opinion I would say ARU is praised for its supportive staff, modern facilities, diverse community, and strong career services. However, areas for improvement include communication responsiveness, consistency in course delivery, better promotion of extracurricular activities, and some accommodation and facility concerns. Overall, it offers a positive student experience with room for enhancement in certain aspects.

What students say about occupational-therapy

Reflecting on my academic year so far, I can confidently say that university has been a great experience. I have thoroughly enjoyed my studies, and the overall atmosphere of learning has been both stimulating and engaging. One of the best aspects of university life for me has been the opportunity to socialize and form meaningful connections. The friendships I have made and the sense of belonging I feel have greatly enhanced my overall experience. Furthermore, I feel genuinely cared for by my lecturers. Their dedication and willingness to support students are evident, and it makes a significant difference in fostering a positive learning environment. From an academic standpoint, I have found it relatively easy to navigate and familiarize myself with the various systems and structures in place. The organization of resources and accessibility of academic materials have helped ensure that I stay on top of my coursework. Classes have been engaging, and I appreciate the depth of knowledge I am gaining. However, there are a few challenges that I have encountered, which I believe could be addressed to further enhance the student experience. One of the main drawbacks for me has been the food. While this may seem minor compared to academic concerns, the quality and variety of food options available could be improved. Proper nutrition is vital for maintaining energy and focus, and I feel that better options would contribute positively to student well-being. Another challenge I have faced is the academic pressure that comes with a demanding course. While I understand and accept that rigorous coursework is part of the journey, there are times when I feel emotionally overwhelmed. The guidance provided is valuable, but I sometimes struggle with approaching staff for help, as I worry that seeking assistance might result in receiving additional information that could add to my stress. This has led to moments where I feel like I am falling behind, even though I work hard to stay on track. Although the academic systems in place are helpful, they can also be quite complicated, making it difficult to always stay fully updated. A possible solution that could greatly benefit students would be the introduction of motivational talks or workshops. These could focus on success stories, opportunities available after graduation, and ways to maintain a balanced and positive outlook on university life. Having such sessions could help inspire students and create a more emotionally supportive environment where individuals feel encouraged to express their struggles and aspirations with their peers. Despite the challenges, I genuinely love my academic course. It is fulfilling and aligns with my interests and goals. However, there are times when I feel exhausted, as though I am constantly fighting hard but not always seeing immediate success. This can be discouraging, but it does not take away from my overall happiness and satisfaction with university life. One concern I have is that if I were to express feelings of stress or emotional fatigue, there is a chance that the response might be overly cautious, with staff prioritizing safeguarding measures. While it is essential to ensure students' well-being, sometimes all we need is a supportive conversation rather than intervention. Additionally, I believe there should be more structured systems that promote organization, guidance, and stronger friendship dynamics to help students navigate university life more effectively. In conclusion, my academic year has been a mix of fantastic experiences and inevitable challenges. While I appreciate the quality of education, the social aspects, and the support from lecturers, I believe that small improvements in student support systems, emotional well-being initiatives, and community-building activities could further enhance the university experience for all students.

What students say about occupational-therapy

I think that the best part of the university is the availability of software and equipment, especially for my course since a lot of software and equipment are needed that could range from a price on hundreds to thousands. However, this could be improved because there are still some software and equipment that aren’t available yet or that aren’t the latest versions/models which could help on improving my coursework performance.
