Location is great. Good mix of practical (in labs and field) and lecture sessions Student support from tutors and other faculty is wonderful Great careers and employability support

The area has a very town-ish feel, not too busy with a very homely feel to it. Lecturers are very quick to respond to queries and always provide extremely helpful advice and explain things very well. One slight improvement would be the advertisements of all the societies we have at bangor, as I can’t seem to find the full list of things I can get involved in whilst here

The modules are great and super informative, definitely happy I came here. Struggle a lot with my adhd and having the test available at a VERY discounted price was awesome

great experience, tutors are lovely, environment is lovely

The worst aspects of my uni experience is actually just the lack of Halal things the city of Exeter and the University itself has, it’s really inconvenient for myself and many other Muslims, aside from that, nothing really comes to mind when thinking of anything negative. The best aspects are the student recourses and the beauty of Streatham campus, it blew me away the first time I saw it and I love to just take in how nature surrounds the university itself.

Commented on negatives as the positives mentioned in other reviews The course: The professors are engaging and know their topics well. The modules are taught well and mostly organised with clear feedback provided for each assessment. There is not much choice available for optional modules with the most popular going quickly for the politics course taken on Penryn campus. Some of the modules are too theoretical and not grounded enough in real life. There are not enough facilities available by comparison to the main Streatham campus and opportunities that are available to students in Penryn are poorly advertised. Location: Rural location close to some really pretty beaches - lots of natural beauty. Easy to get public transport onto campus and they have student bundles for cheap bus transport. It is far away from other parts of the UK so could feel isolating if used to living in a city - depends what you want in the area you are at for uni. The location is one of the biggest pros. Housing: Really expensive in student halls (£180 weekly at cheapest unless in a shared room). In private accomodation, housing is cheaper but still overpriced and there is not enough housing available.

The diversity and inclusion it can sometimes feels lonely

My favourite part about the university is the sporting atmosphere we see around campus. I'm lucky enough to represent university for the tennis team and everyone's incredibly supportive of one another. The coaches are really good and facilities are top notch. My least favourite thing about university is the slight confusion around the student union. I know where it is and who to ask, but confused about certain events that go on. And because of the confusion I don't attend much. But it's not a huge issue as I often go out with friends in my accomodation or friends from tennis.

The Best and Worst Aspects of My University Experience One of the best aspects of my time at Marjon has been the incredible support and dedication from the lecturers. They are not only experts in their fields but also kind and approachable, always willing to go the extra mile to help students succeed. Whether it’s through detailed feedback, extra office hours, or even just their willingness to listen, they’ve created an environment where learning feels both challenging and rewarding. The campus facilities are another highlight. The swimming pool and gym are state-of-the-art, providing a perfect outlet for staying active and managing stress. The on-campus shop is incredibly convenient for picking up essentials, and the nap room is a unique and thoughtful addition, offering students a space to recharge during a busy day. These amenities make campus life enjoyable and contribute to a well-rounded experience. However, there are several aspects that have been disappointing. One of the most notable issues is the lack of student events and a vibrant atmosphere in the Student Union. For a university community to thrive, it’s important to create opportunities for students to connect and build a sense of belonging, but this is sorely lacking. For students like me, who are on placements Monday to Friday as part of the PGCE program, it’s nearly impossible to join societies or engage in what little social life is available. This makes it difficult to feel part of the university community, and student life can feel isolating as a result. Additionally, accessing help with financial aid and well-being services has been a challenge. While these resources exist, they are not always easy to navigate, and the process can be frustrating and time-consuming, especially during moments of need. Overall, while Marjon shines in its academic support and excellent facilities, the lack of community-building events and the difficulty in accessing support services leave room for significant improvement. For postgraduate students with demanding schedules, these gaps are especially evident, and addressing them would greatly enhance the student experience.

The university feels like a community. Your lecturers know you by first name and know your hobbies/interests. The majority of campus know eachother/know of eachother. It is like a village. Everyone is so supportive, both peers, lecturers, and other members of faculty. It is in a beautiful city, with so many places to explore, whilst also not being too big of a city for those who were worried about this when choosing whether or not to go to university. The facilities at Marjon are unmatched, with accredited labs, high standard pitches. I love being able to use the equipment during lectures, which I know isn't possible at other universities that my friends from home go to that are on the same course. The worst part of my university experience has been going from 1 to 2 to 3 modules at once within the space of a month or so. It has been a lot to adjust to, but it is expected and I am getting there, and my lecturers have been very supportive.
