I would recommend my course to prospective students but I wouldn't recommend other parts of my experience.City life in London is expensive.

The uni has everything you could need... great lecturers and strong courses, incredible campus, great accommodation, a wide variety of people and a fantastic city that caters for everything. I cannot fault it except for 1 lecturer I have for finance. There are easy bus and transport links into the city centre (Birmingham is the only university with its own train station) although I usually walk it, as it takes 25 minutes. The night life is amazing, such a variety from your standard night out on broad street, to big house and dupstep events in the Digbeth area and more casual social events in the Jewellery quarter. The accommodation here is great, I lived in Tennis Court, which is popular for a reason. The halls are spacious and the kitchens great for socialising. I would say though that as flats of 5, the people you live with are very important, and I was very lucky to have such a great group. Before I came to Birmingham I didn't have a particularly positive view of the city. But I actually love it here. Sure there are unattractive areas, it used to be a very industrialised city, but the development that has occurred is amazing. The canal that leads from the University into the city shows truly the best aspects. The centre of the city is really beautiful, and the more horrible bits such as new street station is currently under massive redevelopment work. The city is buzzing and vibrant, great shops and restaurants and every time I've been to the city theres some sort of music or performance act on the streets! The university itself is based in the beautiful Edgbaston, which is an extremely nice area of Birmingham. The campus is beautiful and leafy. I can't praise it enough.

Am studying medicine and Leeds, love the medsoc society and hockey society, both have so many socials and so many opportunities to meet a lot of people all round. Very nice, clean, fun accommodation which is super central. Don't enjoy my lectures, but its fine cause I just miss them!

Student Union is so great. A lots of events are conducted every day and there are many shops inside the building.

University of Leeds is really good for people who want to be living in the heart of a thriving city, as well having a university with all its facilities in one big campus. The union and societies are also particularly good in providing so many different opportunities and things to get involved in.

The first term has almost come to an end and its been an amazing time as a fresher. The time has just flown by and every moment has been worth it. It is practically not possible for anyone here to not enjoy this place. The beach has a very beautiful effect on the city. The clubs and societies are very active and constantly unto something fun. Its not just studying here. I think I have had more fun here than studying. It is not like I have done bad in my tests or failed to submit any assignment, managed everything together. The tutor and the course staff is very helpful and flexible towards student. The rooms are also perfect for students but the wardrobes are small. Swansea is totally the best university.

I am very much impressed with swansea. The courses essential for a particular area are very specific and organised. The lectures are perfectly scheduled and the lecturers start the courses from the very basic. This is very helpful for those who are new to the topics and also helps some students revise. The university has an amazing trip advisor which organises cheap and exiting holidays to different cities including paris, Amsterdam or more like the whole of Europe. The JCs bar on campus is a very cool place. Playing pool with a drink here is the best time pass for me and my mates.

If anyone is planning to start their academic year at swansea I would suggest them to take their accommodation at uplands. The houses are amazing and the rooms are massive compared to the ones on campus. The party is always on campus but apart from that the houses in uplands are perfect. Uplands is just a small 10 min walk from the campus and in between the city centre and campus. The staff in the university have a very systematic approach to the student and know what is best for every course. Overall this is a totally different experience for me and I think swansea is totally the place for a student.

Swansea is a very good university academically but the city is pretty bland and boring. There are some awesome clubs around but one cannot go there every weekend. There are some tourist spots which are alright in a way. But the same scenery is all around swansea. The campus is also boring sometimes. There is nothing unique or different about this place so I am a bit disappointed. The city is also set back and happy in their own way. The worst part is the city centre is hell of a walk from the campus and the only shop on campus shuts at 10. The accommodation is good and thats the best part.

Swansea is a very festive city. Every festival here is celebrated withe no different passion and excitement. Having so many different nationalities here and their respective societies, there are many festivals celebrated. It is too much fun to blend in and try different things in swansea. The lectures held are also very productive and non-boring. The lab sessions are very interesting and the university has all the state of the art technology used. The university takes every possible measure to keep the students happy and satisfied. Being in this university has changed everything about me and probably for the better. Thank you swansea.
