What students say about social-studies

The uni has an abundance of bathrooms but they need to be cleaned more often as many students seem yo leave them in a horrific state. The campus is in a prime location where you are never far from anyplace you may need to go, especially for those staying on campus. I think the gym should be open later at night as some people are in from 9-5 and by the time they are done and hava had dinner and caught up in work there isn’t enough time for them to also have the opportunity to use the facilities.

What students say about social-studies

A lot of the courses aren't really standardised. Some use Moodle a lot, some don't. Though that might also be the lecturers trying to customise it to their teaching style. Lecturers are a mixed bag. Some read directly from slides, others actually try and engage with the class. Depends on what subject.

What students say about social-studies

I feel that I have still learned a lot, but many of the assessments have been changed from practice assessments to essays or tests. I just can’t wait to be on campus because I know it will be so much better. I can’t give a proper opinion until I see what everything is like for myself
