The best is the food and facilities. I personally don’t have anything bad to say. I don’t think anything needs improving.

Nursing (Dual Award in Adult and Mental Health) - MSci

University rating (4)

The best aspect of the uni is the support for students. This is the first time I’ve experienced being surrounded by supportive staffs and students. The worst is the fact that I have to walk up and down the hills to get around campus

Amazing student Union, occasionally tricky to find where to get help for other issues through normal uni channels. Also à shame we’ve lost so many good staff.

Everyone is helpful and understanding, and there is a lot of facilitation for socialising and making new friends. As for improvements, i am comparing in a bit of a vaccum - this is my first time on a campus. So far i am having fun though.
