I have studied here twice now and both experiences haven't been that great. The town in general isn't that nice and some of the students attending the college can be quite rude. The college has been refurbished and looks a lot better and has good classrooms for learning in. The tutors and lecturers are good but i think it mostly depends on who is teaching, some can be awful but others can be interested in teaching you the subject and getting the best grades from you. However, if you wish for the college to complete any type of form from you then don't guarantee that they can be bothered to do it straight away..it took about 4 months until they decided they could be bothered to send my ucas off, though I had asked them numerous times. Westons nightlife has been described sometimes as violent which doesn't come to a surprise really. It's a good place to study if you are willing to put the time in and to chase up tutors/staff to help you in any way.

I have spent a half a year at the Aberdeen Uni and so far it has been great , apart from it not being as good a city as my home city of Glasgow , there is plenty to do lots of shops bars and clubs along with the clubs that are run by the student union and if there is not a club you fancy its easy enough to set up your own , Aberdeen as a city has two unis and a collage so there is plenty of students , however the city only has one student union bar which is RGu union which i believe is soon to close , however lacking a union Aberdeen makes up with its cheap drink prices most bars/clubs mid week offering vodka mix for 65p-75p and jagerbombs for 90p which you cant argue with , academically Aberdeen is a strong uni i am lead to believe it is in the top 150 in the world , i study chem eng and all facilities are of a high standard compared to what i have seen at universities in Glasgow pointing no elbows (strathclyde and GCu) , Aberdeen also hosts place to a brand new library which they claim is in the top 20 in the world or the uk (i wasnt really listening when they where spewing all their facts) it is a nice library to be fair nice and modern and plenty of space to get work done , along with the library Aberdeen uni is only 5 minutes walk from the Aberdeen sports village which was just finished in time for the 2012 olympics with the swimming pool being finished in january 2014 , i am led to believe the fee to use these is very fair however i cant say i have used them as i barely leave halls meaning i am getting a bit out of shape however why would you leave the wonderful place that is named hill head halls of residence . No more space to write anything , basically its a good uni, halls are great , location a bit poor but the rest makes up for it, if you come youll enjoy it

Did my electronic engineering MSc and PhD here, it really has been a life changing experience... Some of the best research labs in the world, led by the best people in the business. The lectures during MSc were great, really needed to use my knowledge to the extreme and create new solutions... I would recommend to anyone considering similar degrees.

Located in a city with bits and pieces of history here and there, not to mention the recent discovery of King Richard III, University of Leicester is an institution with a positive reputation worth mentioning. In my opinion, coming to this university is a good decision i made. Firstly, in terms of location, being in the Midlands makes it relatively close to a number of cities. Secondly, for those into sports and workouts, the sports centre and societies are on point. I also like the fact that the city centre is a walk-able distance from uni (although buses are still available). Most importantly, with regards to studies (that's the main reason we come to uni right? :)). the library offers a lot of help with research and just general studying..Generally, my experience has been quite good. Oh, I forgot the mention, the Student Union building is the place to chill and take a break from school work...

The good thing about the met is that they give you the tools you need to be able to work independently; and like in the industry- your progression and learning experience will depend on you, your motivation and passion. In each course there is a significant number of international students which I thought was great socially and professionally because I got to learn from my friends about how films are being made around the world. I took the cinematography route where I feel like I gained not only technical skills, but also developed creative thinking is different roles in the camera department. The tutors are industry professionals which -because of the school's resources - will teach you how to use industry standard equipment. A nice extra was we learned how to work on 16/35mm film cameras which I personally really enjoyed! Since we were 15 people in our group, the tutors were able to personally respond to each student's needs according to his level of progress. Although I was in the cinematography class, I took other courses during the BA that I was interested in like TV production, documentary filmmaking, short film production... The school has a family feel to it and I felt tutors and staff are very approachable, and since the school is quite new, they care about your feedback and will give space for new initiatives. I recently finished my course and I'm still in touch with the Met through Met-Go which links graduates to work opportunities and offers interesting paid projects.

I genuinely like University of Leicester. I think it is a conducive place for learning. I am a second year law student and I believe that the support that is around is great. Personally, I would not change a thing about my lecturers and friends.

Being at the Uni of Leicester has been the most amazing 2 and a half years of my life. The city is big enough to run around in but small enough to not get lost in (unless you end up on the wrong bus and end up in another neighboring town - awkward). The Library is light, bright and airy and the cafe downstairs serves the best cakes XD I've had a lot of dun in town in the many many restaurants in and around town and on some popular streets.

The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama is totally negative in supporting students. In particular several music departments are totally biased with favourtism in marks and have an incredibly negative atmosphere. I was part of one of these departments and I feel I now need a break to decide what path to take in a career. This is due to having virtually no career advice whilst being at college. I would recommned going to any other music college than RWCMD and I wish I had taken a different offer. I am not the only one to feel like this. Furthermore I think what is most evident at college is the amount of students on anti depressants which in my department is very high. This is not a good place to study.

This uni offers some great courses and has really good facilities! Leeds is also an amazing place to live, especially the night life.

In each course there is a significant number of international students which I thought was great socially and professionally because I got to learn from my friends about how films are being made around the world. I took the BA in Cinematography and feel like I gained not only technical skills, but also developed creative thinking as a DOP when approaching different projects/scripts with different moods. The tutors are industry professionals which - due to the school's resources - will teach you how to use industry standard equipment. I think it's the only course in the UK that teaches how to work on 16/35mm film cameras which I personally enjoyed greatly.
