University Centre Colchester at Colchester Institute

BA (Hons) in Art and Design: Fashion and Textiles

University rating (5)
Tell us about your overall college experience so far.

A really great course, I learnt so much! Very good opportunities for gaining work experience and placements. Whilst on the course, students are given the opportunity to work on live projects with companies within the fashion and textile industry and encoraged to enter competitions- a great way build contacts and get yourself noticed in such a competitive industry. I won two competitions whilst I was at Colchester School of Art, winning £1,000 and getting my designs put into production for the George label.

Tell us about your overall university experience so far.

Leicester uni is a nice place to study and the stuff are well trained. In my course there is a good choice and variety and lecturers are enthusiastic about their subject. The accommodation is mainly modern. Unfortunately, I haven'e had the opportunity to really experience the city life. With the uni facilities , I always find what I need. There is something for everyone in the clubs and societies. The student's union has everything I need. I am enjoying my course and I've made friends and I like the accommodation.

Tell us about your overall university experience so far.

I really like the uni and I think it's good. For my course the majority of topics are interesting, but some have been boring. I live in Beaumount Halls and it's really social and friendly. The city is pretty and nice. But the library get busy, although it is really good. I am part of the Quid-ditch society and it's really fun! Everyone is friends. The SU is really spacious, but there could be more seating areas. Basically, I am enjoying my experience. Before you apply to this uni make sure it feels right.

The accommodation gets a five because there is a good service and the private landlords are helpful. The uni facilities are very good and the student's union stands up to competition. Overall the uni is good, but I am not sure if the religious needs of students are met. It is difficult to arrange meeting in my course, but the teachers are excellent. There are cheap drinks in the city and buses for students. There is a range of music styles for the diversity of students. Make sure you have a good personal statement and strong grammar.

University of Leicester

Chemical Research (Biological Chemistry) MSc

University rating (4)
Tell us about your overall university experience so far.

This uni is good for a number of reasons. I study in two departments and in Biology the department is very helpful.Study material is also really good and the instruments in the lab are good. People are friendly and the uni is multicultural. This is something that is good because you don't feel alone. Leicester is a good city and I think it's quite big. Some clubs and societies send you messages, and there is good communication between clubs and students. The students's union is better than good.When I have problems people are helpful and they will stand with you against anything. The main campus looks fine, but the language area is isolated. As an international student, I think that it is useful to know about the job prospects, which the uni caters to quite well. They tell you about specific positions. I am enjoying my uni experience, and it's been something new for me. I have more independence and it has enriched my self confidence. It's also good and nice if you interact with native speakers.

City life gets a 5 because it's great for shopping. In terms of facilities, that uni has everything you need. Clubs and societies also get a 5 because there is something for everyone. The uni is reputable and there is lots of help from careers. I like my course and I think that it is really enjoyable. Overall, my experience has been good because of the combination of everything (e,g,: uni and the city). I you want to get a place make sure you pass your exams and get the grades.

Law (general) LLM

University rating (5)
Tell us about your overall university experience so far.

The uni is really good, but it's also really expensive. There's lots of independence. The lecturers are really nice and they are available when you need them. They are open minded and they listen to you. I think that the accommodation is not bad, but Mary Gee is too far. It's also to expensive and we have even had a robbery. City life is really nice. I like the people in Leicester and I'm really enjoying my experience at the moment. The facilities are good and you can go there any time. There is a wide team of helpers who are really nice. The uni gives you plenty of choice in terms of clubs and societies. People are open minded. I think that it is good to talk to others and ask questions; don't be afraid to ask questions when you need something.

Tell us about your overall university experience so far.

I'm enjoying my uni experience. I've met many people and since there is a good mix of people, there is an opportunity to mingle .It's defiantly worth checking out. Although I like the uni , there are some downsides: the library is small, and some of the facilities are old. I think they need an update. Also, there are too many students and not enough facilities. But on the upside, the accommodations look nice, lecturers are helpful and the city is vibrant. Also , you get to mix with other uni's when societies go on socials.

The uni tries to integrate people and there are lots of extra activities. The lecturers give good support and they are very easy to talk to. Personally I don't like the student accommodation, but the city life is not bad. There are lots of decent places where you can go and eat. The gym and Library are very good- I can't complain about that. I'm part of the Maths Society and they are god at getting people involved in activities. The SU has everything you need. I really think that Leicester is good. Now that I'm in my 4th year, student life has changed. Work is defiantly getting more serious. It is a good idea to be consistent in your work and to plan things in advance. But it's also important to be social and to study hard because uni is a unique experience.
