Great social life, good options for student societies, a lot of student support. A lot of professionals teaching on the course and it gave me exactly what I wanted for my career progression into genetics

What students say about town-and-country-planning

I love the new city campus. It looks great and has excellent facilities, but more green spaces would be nice. The library is well stocked and there are plenty of study spaces. The teaching staff are excellent.

What students say about town-and-country-planning

I really like my research lab and supervisor. They are very insightful, has very good intuition and research ideas. I'm also really grateful for the opportunity to work with leading researchers on very interesting projects exploring how deep learning can improve healthcare management. What I dislike is that very high rent of university-owned student accommodation. It's so counterintuitive and unexpected that private student accommodation in Sheffield is many times cheaper.

What students say about town-and-country-planning

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

What students say about town-and-country-planning

The best is the way its made me more confident in my art and made me embrace methods id previously rejected and made me consider more ways I can make a career in art than tattooing and allowed me to use resources id want to use after like risoprinting has become of particular interest. The worst is probably the vagueness of assignments sometimes and I tend to worry Im doing the wrong thing, but I have plenty of tutors I can talk to about this.

Worst is library computers, they have to include usbc for computer extension. I like the organisation I wish they had more international student support considering we’re paying 3x more for the same thing
