I had a great time here, the course was great - although the facilities in the Adelphi Building could be better, but I was aware of this from the beginning. Manchester has an amazing student life.

Speaking purely based on experience of my course I had no problems with the course itself and found the lecturers to be very supportive. My campus is roughly 15 mins away from the city centre which makes travel and socialising easier and there are a lot of extracurricular actitivites available for those who wish to take advantage of that

The school is wonderful if you have lots of money to waste as a postgraduate. The undergraduate students have it better. If anyone plans on doing Environmental Management DO NOT do Integrated Waste and Polllution. The students from the previous year warned me but I am one to take risks. hahaha not wise at this school. overall I cant say the program itself is bad but seriously the teachers have no interest in students. they are into their research. remember I am talking about postgraduate

Durham University

General Engineering - MEng (Hons)

University rating (2)
Tell us about your overall university experience so far.

When applying to universities last year, I read many things, and seeked as much advice that I could about Durham University. What I generally heard was great things; the course will be good with great job opportunities, yes the nightlife is rubbish and yes its quite posh, but you get over that. I shall further illiterate about myself also as it will be important for the review. I am from a northern (non grammar) state school. This puts me in a striking minority of people at Durham straight away. Lets just get some things out the way straight away; 1) Nightlife. There's just no other way to describe it, it is awful. Just awful. "its so bad its good" or "you get over it eventually" or any of the other ridiculous excuses you will hear from most of the other Durham reviewers - they talk rubbish. What makes a good night out is the people - a point I will return to. 2) The SU - awful. 3) The accommodation. I regrettably chose to go to Grey college. All I can say, is that if you look at a strict boarding school and think to yourself "I like the sound of that!" then Grey college, and many of the other colleges at Durham is the place for you. In my first term, I received a total of 7 hours of community service. I know. Community service, at university. This is a list of ridiculous rules the college implements. a) No alcohol outside of your room. No other drink, just alcohol must be consumed in your own room. b)No more than 6 inside a room. A rule which makes enjoying a drinking pre-session v.difficult. c) No noise - essentially, there is no loud noises past 10 o'clock. Basically no loud talking and no music -making it difficult to enjoy a pre-session. Try implement this at any normal university and you'd be giving out so many fines, students would need a new loan

Uni is good although I feel that the internal communication is rather limited. For instance those on Park campus have no links or connections with Avenue and vice versa.

My course is great and really competitive. The university as a whole is rather small in comparison to others but I prefer it this way as it feels more like a community rather than being anti-social.

Last year I was ill and so I graduate this year rather than last. I thought this would be hard but everyone is friendly and supportive, at Northampton Uni it is so easy to fit in.
