What students say about photography

I love being able to use the facilities and having access to all the tech required for my course specifically. The kit store is great, and having areas where I can go and study with everything I need is beneficial to my learning. I personally think the societies at Ravensbourne could be largely improved. It feels very much like an after thought, and the engagement with them don’t appear to exist. I think only a few societies are big, but compared to some other universities, I wish there was more hype and engagement for people to make societies, join them and connect. That’s my biggest flaw.

The lectures in my course are very helpful and always get back to you when you have questions. We have good weeks timetabling where we have online lessons and in person and we start at a nice time as well which gives people time to travel. Our lectures give us PowerPoints which we can also look at when at home for more revision. The university is big and is a couple bus stops from train stations which is helpful as well. There is lots of places to get food and they have a wide variety of things.

WIFI is absolutely awful and there are many dead zones around campus. How can a top-level engineering university provide such poor internet connection, especially when all of our assignments are internet based and due online? I am constantly searching for places around campus with any useable connection and the VPN speeds when you're off campus are just unusable. It's the year 2024. How have we not figured this out yet? It's absolutely unaccusable. You have the money to build an entire new campus, but can't fix the internet at your main campus? Awful.

What students say about photography

Worst is the limited contact time with professors. It feels really rushed which is unfortunate because there is so much to discover here and it becomes stressful when we feel like cattle who must be rushed in and out. The university itself is fantastic though. It’s incredibly inspiring to walk through the workshops, lecture halls, and library- it feels like you’re in the center of the world. Everything is state of the art and the staff is phenomenal. I just wish they cut less corners in terms of students’ ability to engage with it all.

What students say about photography

Overall, my uni experience has been really positive. It’s a pretty new university, which shows in the facilities, and there’s a lot of support available if you need it. The lectures are generally good and engaging, which makes a big difference. That said, there have been some frustrating moments, especially with miscommunication around things like timetables—it can get confusing and a bit stressful when information isn’t clear or changes last minute. The handling of the meningitis situation could also have been better, as we only got an email quite late after cases had already been reported, which didn’t feel very reassuring. Outside of uni, Canterbury is a nice place to live and has a great atmosphere, even if it can be a little boring at times.

What students say about photography

The best aspect of my university experience has been the community at Westminster and the confidence I have gained throughout my time here. The environment has encouraged me to become more independent, engage with different perspectives, and feel comfortable expressing my own ideas. The lecturers have been supportive and approachable, and I have particularly valued the opportunities to participate in discussions rather than simply learning from textbooks. Westminster’s central London location and diverse student community have also made the experience feel genuinely connected to the professional world. The worst aspect has probably been that, at times, balancing academic work with personal responsibilities could be challenging. I also think there could be more opportunities for students to build connections with employers and gain practical experience directly through the university. While there are careers events and opportunities available, expanding these further would help students feel even more prepared for life after graduation. Overall, Westminster has given me much more than an academic qualification. It has helped me become more confident, independent and ambitious, which is what I value most about my university experience.

Best is probably sports culture, I love the sports culture. The worst is probably campus not being like them American style campuses as I would have loved one of those with more greenery but that’s me being picky

i love the facilities at this uni, the library and the teaching is great. there are many places for all types of students ,quiet or not, to go and the nightlife in the city is prety decent. it is quite affordable compared to other universitys close by. the societies are fantastic aswell. the university could improve on certain teaching aspects in the first year to ease us into how very independant it all is

The actual university was fine. The new building has a lot of great facilities but some of them can only be used by people from that actual course. Sewing machines and work spaces can get really busy. Nice interior design and layout.
