Falmouth offers a great working environment. I love working within the design centre, it is a light and airy space with big glass windows. All the students who work within this space feed off each others creative energy and inspire one another. The uni has good printing facilities and a 24 hour library. The studio actually stays open late into the evening with security guarding the buildings. I find that Falmouth is a quiet and relaxed part of the country, but I don't mean this negatively. In fact, I like it that way it helps me to concentrate and its more intimate on a night out in bars and pubs rather than noisy clubs etc.

I am currently really enjoying my textiles course. I think the facilities that Falmouth has to offer are brilliant. I spend a lot of my degree in the studio space which stays open till 9pm, after that I can work in the library as late as I wish. It stays open 24 hours a day with a very wide range of books, dvds, art journals... The printing facilities are also very good. I have to print a lot of colour photographs and case studies etc for my sketchbooks. You can top up your print credit account and then the machine charges you between 5-60p for different colours/sizes of paper.

I am textile design at Falmouth, its being by the sea that attracted me here and now I don't ever want to leave!! I really embrace living in a creative environment that's so chilled and relaxed. I personally think my course is not as organised as others that my friends talk about, I think if it was more organised and structured then I would be much more motivated and driven to do the work set once it is given to me,. This is something that I need to overcome and push myself to do my best.

I study textile design at Falmouth university and I don't think I'd rather be anywhere else doing a degree. It is a really relaxed and creative environment to live in with lots of friendly welcoming people and a lovely beach and seaside atmosphere. One piece of advice is understand that there is not a big nightlife in Falmouth however the night out is what you make it! Student nights are cheap and fun on a Thursday, the club - CLUB I is renowned for a funny night out and I wouldn't let this stop you choosing Falmouth its just good to be aware its not a city party night like Leeds or Manchester etc..

The uni has a good structure and organisation. My lecturers arrive on time and they are approachable. They provide good lecture materials. But there should be more guidance on the selection of modules. Sometimes there is an overload of lecture notes which makes it difficult to focus. The accommodation office is not helpful at all. It is difficult to get a transfer and there was even confusion over my fees. Plus the residential advisers are not helpful. There is not much to do in the city, but it's a small city so I expected this. There are many things to occupy your time (e.g: the library and gym and SU). The rooms in the SU are really modern and convenient for students. There are lots of places to eat and the O2 is really good. The uni gives you lots of career workshops and lots of guidance on your CV. Generally, don't be afraid to approach lecturers.

I haven't been on the course very long as I have just started first year but I am amazed by what I have learnt already, the course is very fast paced and the tutors push you hard to succeed. I am really impressed by the teaching of computer skills. Every Thursday we have two hours learning the basics of photoshop, indesign and sketch up. This is important because we use digital programmes a lot as part of our outcomes for presentations and portfolio. I started the course with very little knowledge on these software programmes so I feel much more confident in them now with the help of the teachers.

I have always wanted to study interior design at uni, but now its actually happening its very exciting. If you had of asked me four months ago how I felt about this I was apprehensive but very excited. Now I feel like I have been here for over a year and feel well settled with good friends in both my flat and on the course. This is something I was quite worried about but I have learnt that you must take every opportunity your offered and don't be afraid of meeting new people. At first people might not be the sort of people you would usually be friends with but actually I've met some really interesting people I'm so glad to have given the chance.

I joined this university four months ago to start the first year of an interior design degree. So far its been really exciting and interesting but one massive learning curve. Not only do you have to adjust to live by yourself and cook, clean etc you have to learn a new subject that your not so familiar with. One of my favourite introductory projects was we had to work for three weeks with the second years. We worked on an architectural project and they showed us there skills and helped us to learn the basics of the project. This really helped me to understand better and improve my skills on photoshop..

I am in first year at Falmouth university doing an interior design degree. Having only been here a couple of months I am already certain this was the right decision for me and that I am loving it here. Don't be too excited for a big city nightlife because even though you will still have a really good night out with flat mates etc its not a big party scene. It is what you make it and more about the people you go out with, the bars and pubs are fun if that's more the scene you prefer.

Personally, I was struggling before I came to this uni, but I think that has a nice environment. Uni life can be challenging, but the staff are lovely and they offer academic and pastoral support. However, sometimes you have to solve your own problems and I find this difficult. The American Studies department is well organised and the quality of content is consistent. There are resources to facilitate engagement with the focus. But in some of mu seminars people didn't really talk and thought that uni students were supposed to be passionate. In my shared accommodation, the condition of the house could have been better, but it was hygienic. I really like the city. It's cosy and combat and there is enough to keep you going as a student. I really like the book shops and the independence of Queen's road. The uni facilities are pretty good. The food is really good, but it is out of my price range and there is not enough study space in the library. There is a good range of clubs and societies. I really like the physical space in the SU. I can revise well, but the things that facilities offer are not advertised well. Unless I research it myself, I would not find out about these offers. Student welfare needs to give more guidance.
