FIRST YEAR

University of Essex

Criminology with Criminal Law (Including Placement Year) - BA (Hons)

University rating (5)

The amount of nature around the campus creates such a calming atmosphere, it really makes me want to spend my entire time on campus, studying, socializing or just chilling. Moreover the stuff and lecturers actually enjoy and know what they are doing! I was very convinced about sociological imagination at first, but after my first lecture my opinion has changed, and now it’s such a fascinating subject and topic! The amount of activities, societies, and possibilities overall around the campus are amazing, I am able to join anything I like, want to do, interested in trying, to be a part of! Honestly there’s so much I could talk about nonstop, I never had even thought I would be so proud to say that I am studying at University of Essex. I love it!!!

University of Leeds

Physics - BSc (Hons)

University rating (5)

I love being a student at the University of Leeds as I feel it has such a great balance of all of the aspects that make a good university experience. The city is great for events, food, socialising and more. The student housing is relatively cheap, the university has hundreds of societies, the courses all allow for a year in industry or abroad if desired. The campus facilities are excellent.

University of Leeds

Medical Engineering - MEng (Hons)

University rating (5)

Everything is so close. Campus is nicely arranged which makes everything a short walk without feeling cramped. Town is not far from campus. Student living areas are homely. Issue with how many road works are constantly happening. Could be more study spaces as they are always so full.

University of Essex

Accounting and Finance - BSc (Hons)

University rating (5)

I think the best aspect of my university is the sports facilities and gym, very useful for student Athletes. The only thing I would say needs improvement is navigation, it's very hard, as a first year to locate where your lectures are being held at.

University of Leeds

English Literature with Creative Writing - BA (Hons)

University rating (4)

I love the location of the campus in the city and that you can reach everything on foot. The city is super diverse and is rich in cultural events. As an English Student, there is always something to do and get involved in, and there are plenty of support systems and opportunities to gain valuable experience. I love that there is such a strong student community and so many societies where you can have fun and be a passionate member of a project. I do wish there were better transportation in the city. I also wish there was better advertisement for the many opportunities in the cultural industries that you can get involved with and that the unis would work closer with companies to offer hands-on experience while you do your degree.

University of Leeds

Data Science - BSc (Hons)

University rating (5)

Best parts aspects of the university have to be the campus. It's very spacious, green and pleasant to walk around. The campus is very close to the city centre and Leeds in general is very student friendly. The lectures, programme leaders, tutors and staff are very supportive and encouraging when it comes to academic progress, general concerns and help find solutions to make the lives of students easier. The university union runs many programmes to support students and make them feel welcome. The union building itself is a very safe and friendly environment to be in with affordable food, a co-op shop, table-tennis area, cafe, quiet rooms and more. There isn't much I could say about improvements. I think overall it's an amazing university to study at.
