University is great in Northampton, I get along with literally everyone and you come to realise that everyone is in the same boat.

Not enough information given in regards to exams. Timetable published a bit late and can be subject to change quite often

Entered as nature ages student. I feel like ive been mugged. I came to learn not to buy a meaningless qualification. if you want understanding and knowledge I would suggest you do not come here

Great Campus, nice halls, decent student town and brilliant social life. However the course/lecturing on my course (Agriculutral Business Managment) was very poor value. The lecturers were very out of date as was their materail. I graduated 6 months ago with a 2:1 and still can't get a graduate job. So in summary I would recomend the uni but look carefully at the course you choose!

I am a little dissapointed with University but then at the same time , I knew that Northampton Uni was not the highest ranked so I suppose I have to make it what I want it to be.

It's not bad but wish it was better. Things seem to be improving atm but as a second year I feel that my first year alot of the facilities were not available.

Academically, University of Northampton hasn't dissapointed me at all. The lecturers are heaving with knowledge and I have considerable experience in the field of Journalism and Creative writing. Socially, Northampton is ok. Abit like a little warm bath, it's not bad but could be better.

Yes, been fun and enjoyable. Lecturers are helpful and high interactivity. Feedback is useful and good for improvement.

Overall Its an OK University, I did a foundation degree to begin with and left with a Masters degree, and i did enjoy my 5 years here. Some of the lecturers were unbelievably helpful and went over and above what i was expecting. However, saying that, there were some that didnt even want to be there......... I was based on the Stafford campus and it is a nice building, on the edge of Stafford, not too far away from things, but nightlife wise there is one club and a spoons and thats about it. The SU at Stafford is awful too. My courses (i got 3 degrees while there) were good and i got some fantastic experience from them, which has helped so much in getting me my graduate job in the end. There is nothing wrong with Staffordshire Uni, its great, but its not a top uni for a reason, and looking back i perhaps would have had a better time somewhere else, and for that i can not recommend Staffs

What attracted me about Durham was the flexibility in their courses - you can study 'Natural Sciences' and still take up to half of your modules in arts or social sciences, or study 'Combined Arts' but take half of your modules in Maths and Physics. For someone who isn't sure what they want yet, it's ideal, and if you're careful about what modules you choose, you can still transfer to a single honours programme at the start of second year. As for accommodation be very careful in which college you pick. People tell you that you love your college wherever you go but it's not always true at all. The rivalry between bailey colleges and hill colleges is certainly rife, and there's more places at non-traditional colleges than traditional ones, so don't count on having an Oxbridge type experience here. Be slightly cunning - it's much easier to get a place at traditional Hild Bede if you're a science student, because of distance to the science site, whereas an arts student has a good chance of getting a place at St Mary's, still only 10 minutes to Elvet Riverside. Science students probably have a better chance of getting a place at a Bailey college than Mary's, where you'll usually be pooled to a further hill college. Being here it's easy to feel looked down on as a hill college student. At Van Mildert, some of the rooms are fantastic and for normal University halls it would be enviable, but as a college you'll find people turning their nose up at you. It's easy to feel cut off and trapped in the Durham bubble, and the hills are exhausting. Student houses are expensive unless you want to live miles away, and the popular student area, Viaduct, is still too far from the science site compared to colleges!
