the school is good academically, morally and enviromentally friendly and the lecturers and module leaders try to give their best and organise extra classes for students in other to understand the course work in details, from my own point of view the school is un to standard, the town is a quite place i love and peaceful for study and lovely culture and welcoming people.

Facilities are all there and modern - lots of computers etc. Accommodation is excellent, if not slightly over-priced however. 5 and half thousand pounds for not even a year and living outside city centre? There are not enough lectures and tutorials - lack of contact time, only in 2/3 days a-week is this enough?

I am a second year business and management student at Edge Hill University and I couldn't be more unfortunate that i'm paying 9 grand a year to undertake such an appalling course. I am writing this review so that people are not fooled by the opening days because they most definitely cover up what it is really like. Lecturers - Either abroad or unable to attend, results in you having cover lecturers for most of the year. Out of last year and this year so far, I think out of about 8 lecturers 2 have been fantastic, the rest you may aswell teach yourself at home. Course - I picked this course because I thought it would be a fantastic degree to leave University with and I have a great interest in the subject. However, I can not even stress enough how much you do not learn!!! Your 9 grand, is paid for the act that is put on, on the opening days. University - When I first arrived here, I was over the moon! I was lucky enough to get in all 5 Universities so I had a choice. I absolutely loved this University thought they were extremely helpful and all the statistics I was told reassured me this was a good University. However, months later I was shown just how much EdgeHill do not respond to your opinion/problems/complaints. If you have any problems regarding your course or the University, all you have to know is that EdgeHill are always right and you are wrong. Halls - First year I lived in halls and these I can not slate, I was in en-suite ones and extremely happy, probably the only good thing about the University. Second Year Accommodation - Another massive problem, all I will say to this is do not go with NSW Properties and also this is again where EdgeHill had nothing to say about my complaint. Location - Small, perfect..

It's brilliant living in Bristol, it's a great student city with lots of difference venues, ranging from nightclubs to pubs with music to cafes where you can chill out. It's also got loads of restaurants with amazing food. UWE itself has an extremely friendly atmosphere, and during freshers week you'll find lots of the student union and student ambassadors around to help you if you're a bit lost or just looking for something to do. The University has lots of top class facilities, from the Centre for Sport and adjacent state of the art hockey pitch, to interactive lecture theatres. Overall, UWE has been a fantastic experience.

I think it's great here especially the social side. The only difficult thing is keeping up motivation to do core work when there are so many societies to get involved with as well. The Union was great before but the refurbishment has definitely given it an edge over others. I understand how important it is for the first year accommodation to be secure however it restricts other flats getting to know each other sometimes because of all the locks/hard to access.

Overall i like my uni, There are bits and pieces that i dont agree with, like now we have merged we are changing to do things the way Glamorgan do things which i think is unfair but apart from that i enjoy myself here get along with my lecturers and peers.

I love our uni, The lecturers are so encouraging and really try to bring out the inner you. They help in any way possible but also advise you on how to improve and learn how to do things on your own.

Its a good uni, My friend who goes to Majon speaks about how amazing her's is so i dont know whether that one is better, i suppose it depends what course your doing and whats for you.

I'm currently doing an Art Foundation at Brookes, and I have to say, I am not enjoying it! I might recommend this course for anyone who want this to specifically get onto a universtiy, but for someone like me who already has a university place and wants to use it to gain more skills, be sure about the choice they've made, have a year out to earn money etc please, consider something else. This course is specifically geared for students who need help putting together a porfolio or don't know what type of art career they want to go in to, but for everyone else its usless and annoying. You get 6 weeks to decide which discipline you want to go into with stressful one week projects in the five areas (you choose which) and then after that you have to decide. We haven't yet been taught any skills like print making, letter press or book binding apart from mono printing and a small foray into glass, even though there are the facilities. There is no indication that there will be any formal training for essential things like photoshop. Every week there are lectures from artists and universities, however instead of the artists telling us about how to get into the industry and tips they've only ever talked about themselves and their work, which is ultimatly quite boring and makes it impossible to finish any of the projects to a high standard for the tight deadlines, meaning that everything in your porfolio is rushed and a bit rubbish. Sometimes I get the feeling like we're treated like idiots, we have weekly 'learning support' lectures, where they teach us how to research and skim read, which I find extremely unhelpful, of course I know to go to the library and skim read! Materials are very expensive, you have to buy them for yourselves

The accommodation in lancaster is among the best in the UK. Also, the close-campus environment is another attractive point that you can focus on your study rather than being distracted by the city life!
