What students say about sports-and-recreation

I think the support is great. The course is good however I personally do not enjoy the lectures in third year. I feel the atmosphere is great and the library is a lovely place to study. My only complaint is that parking is quite limited as you have to arrive 1-2hours before just make sure you have time to find a space.

What students say about sports-and-recreation

Best aspects: The university provides a supportive learning environment with helpful lecturers and good academic resources. The campus is generally welcoming, and there are plenty of opportunities to develop skills both academically and personally. Worst aspects / Improvements: One issue that needs improvement is the heating and hot water system, as it does not always work properly. At times, students only have access to cold water, which can be uncomfortable and difficult, especially for students who are sensitive or have health issues related to cold temperatures. Ensuring reliable heating and hot water would greatly improve student comfort and wellbeing.

What students say about sports-and-recreation

It’s a great place to study because the campus and the convenience of the student accommodations/ houses near campus is good. It is also good teaching wise as most of the professors are top tier. What could be improved is that the support is horrible. When students are stressed we don’t know where to go especially the team of law is not supportive, even the professors are more supportive. It’s hard to be understood by them or to get some clarity. I wish they’d be more helpful

The uni is always striving for improvement. There are always activities going on for students. HOWEVER: the ubiquity of could do more for student security/safety and also the hygiene. There are currently rats in the library and also rats in the main building.

UCLan is a great place to study because of its friendly staff, diverse student community, and excellent facilities like the library and sports centre. It provides strong academic and personal support. One area for improvement could be creating more study spaces during exam periods and adding more campus events to bring students together.

The best aspects are the student union and the facilities available. I think it could be improved if we had more books generally available at the library without requiring click and collect, since right now the library feels like a study space but not a real library.

What students say about sports-and-recreation

University of Salford is a great place to study because it offers strong industry connections, modern facilities, and practical learning opportunities that prepare students for real careers. Its location near Manchester provides access to a vibrant city, diverse culture, and many professional networks, while the campus itself offers supportive learning spaces, libraries, and collaborative environments. The university also emphasizes employability through placements, industry-led projects, and partnerships with businesses. However, it could be improved by expanding student support services, increasing study and social spaces during busy periods, and providing more affordable accommodation options to better support students’ wellbeing and academic success.

Bolton public library is amazing. Easy access to student services, fun events, and the library and campus is great, open after hours. I’ve personally found my course isn’t the most organised, but otherwise I am loving it.
