Best: lecturers are amazing, very supportive and care about the subject and teaching. They are very supportive and accessible in their office hours. Sometimes on core modules teaching is not engaging. Worst: Not a lot of contact hours which means that sometimes lecture content can be abit base level.

I was in one of the houses at dev which was amazing as it was very quiet, and there were washing machines in our house so we didn’t have to pay for circuit go. However, most students at dev don’t get the same treatment. Also in our house people were paying different amounts for the same facilities- this was never explained. Largely though Devonshire hall was great as it was very beautiful and add great facilities like the snooker room, common rooms and formal dinners!

One of the best aspects of my Curating course is that the classes are engaging and allow me to develop a deeper understanding of artworks. I particularly enjoy analysing different artworks, paintings and photographs, as well as exploring their meanings, the artists’ intentions and their historical contexts. The lecturers are also approachable and supportive, and they always encourage students to ask questions whenever they need help. This creates a positive learning environment where I feel comfortable asking for clarification when I do not understand something. Another aspect I find particularly helpful is the reading list provided before each class. It allows me to prepare in advance and become familiar with the topics before attending lectures. As an international student, this is especially valuable because it helps me follow the lectures more effectively. The readings also allow me to review important concepts and revisit topics that I may not have fully understood during class. Furthermore, the “Listen Again” feature is very useful, as it allows me to listen to recorded lectures again and review parts that I found difficult to understand. One thing that could make my course even better is providing a list of key terms with short explanations before each class. As an international student, I sometimes find it difficult to understand new academic words, especially when studying unfamiliar topics. Having this list would help me prepare for lectures in advance and understand the main ideas more easily. It could also help me feel more confident when following lectures and learning new topics. I believe this would be a useful addition to the existing reading lists and could benefit other students as well.

One of the things I like most about living in South Courts is the peaceful environment. The view from my window is beautiful, and fresh air and warm sunlight make my room feel comfortable. Seeing the trees, green grass, squirrels and rabbits around the accommodation is also very relaxing and helps me feel refreshed. I also really like the size of the room. It is spacious and has a radiator that keeps the room warm, especially during colder weather. The large desk is convenient for studying, and there is plenty of storage space, including a wardrobe, shelves and drawers. The kitchen is also clean and well equipped, with a large fridge and freezer, an oven and an induction hob. These facilities make everyday life much more convenient. One thing that could be improved is the light above the desk. Its orange colour makes it less suitable for studying, so a brighter, more neutral or white light would be better for reading and working. Overall, I really enjoy living in South Courts because it provides a comfortable living space and a peaceful environment.

I love how many resources are available for students to use and how open the lecturers are to communication and interaction.

My room and bathroom at the Uni Quays is deffinitely spacious and well kept and I love how accessible the location is to home bargains/tesco/train station, however, the spinny bridge can be quite tiring and tedious, especially for walking back late at night.

Professors are always very serious when teaching.

no

Great contact hours and balance with pre recorded lectures

Great location

it is truly an amazing experience

I enjoy the course content and knowledgeable lecturers. More practical examples, interactive teaching, and clearer assignment guidance would make the course more engaging and help students improve their understanding.

I like the convenient location and the opportunity to meet other students. However, rent can be expensive, and shared facilities can sometimes be inconvenient. Better maintenance and more affordable accommodation would improve the experience.

Best - very hands on from the beginning, get a lot of experience with patients Worst - a bit unorganised and last minute at times

Like most - feels safe, very close to campus Like least - can be loud sometimes

There isn’t as many contact hours with seminar leaders as I would like but the seminars and lectures are good when I do have them

It was sociable however has gone up in price and now quite expensive for what it is
