I reckon the lecturers are the heart of the university. I am actually more happy of coming here day by day however everything should be organised a little bit better. The knowledge that the lecturers have is not transferable just because of the fact that it's not organised well. I am enjoying myself a lot though, and I think it's great here. Also I think Bower Ashton should do more after uni activities, it should be a place for societies too not just Frenchay.

UWE is a great university and in an amazing city, you should take advantage of being in Bristol by living nearer the centre as opposed to nearer Frenchay campus, if you're based there. I can't comment on accommodation, since I have found my own places, but I know Frenchay campus accommodation is good, a little pricey, but good if you want the typical fresher experience living in a "bubble" on campus. Clubs and societies are ok, but being in bristol, your uni life and experience is definitely what you make it.

Bristol, UWE

Environmental Science - BSc (Hons)

University rating (4)
Tell us about your overall university experience so far.

The course modules are good a majority taught very well. Some however lack lecturer motivation and charisma leading to 3 years of watching them read off a power point. The campus accommodation is really good but a little pricey. The city is the best by are for everything from nights out to shopping.

University of Cumbria

Primary Education with Advanced Specialism (inclusion and special educational needs) BA (Hons)

University rating (3)
Tell us about your overall university experience so far.

The course is good, it is useful for future careers. It is not very inclusive for students with disabilities as most of the buildings are inaccessible. Again, the accommodation is not great for students with disabilities as there are only 2 accessible flats. The lift in the library breaks regularly and it is taking months to fix it. This means I am unable to access books, computers and other resources whilst trying to complete my dissertation.

University of Cumbria

Primary Education with Qualified Teacher Status BA (Hons)

University rating (5)
Tell us about your overall university experience so far.

The university is set in a beautiful area which reminded me of home, which is only a walk away from town. The course i'm doing is exactly what I wanted if not more! The lecturers are very supportive and helpful and are there to lead and help you onto the right path. There are many good groups and clubs to join, the dance and body conditioning is very beneficial and is lots of good fun! The gateway building is fab for people living on campus and there are lots to choose from, even healthy options!The accommodation is fairly good, however can be noisy and a little untidy!

The University of Cumbria is an 'OK' uni. I don't think the courses are very well set out though out the years and it is very easy to get lost with all the modules, particularly on the teaching courses.I felt like when i had a issue with the university, it wasn't the most helpful to sort things out. However some staff were great and really worked hard to help whereas others just plain did not.

My course is very interesting and fun. The lecturers are easy to talk to if you have a problem. My accommodation is very nice, it is slightly out the way of the university and clubs which means I need to use the university transport system. This is very good and enables you to get around the city easily. The night life is good, there is a large range of different clubs.

The university itself is overall decent. I've come across a few rude members of staff and the students union and the club side of it all is sparse but I've mostly enjoyed my time here.

University of Portsmouth

International Business BA (Hons)

Tell us about your overall university experience so far.

Teaching is good, lecturers are approachable. I came from London so the night life isnt as good, however, there is still a lot to do. I have joined the 5 a side football league which has enabled me to meet a lot of people. The accommodation is livable, however the bathrooms are very small and everything looks slightly old. The upside is that I live about 2 minutes from everything, including a high street with many shops.

University of Exeter

Business and Management with Industrial Experience - BSc (Hons)

University rating (3)
Tell us about your overall university experience so far.

Exeter is an okay university. It's a nice enough place and the sport and the clubs and socieites are good. However, the size of the lectures and seminars is ridiculous. There is also a distinct lack of variety of students on campus, seeing wellies being worn in lectures was downright bemusing.In one lecture there was 400 people and the tutorials for this was 100 people, so there was no chance to ask questions or gain help.There was no way of gaining help and the lack of care of anything apart from squeezing people into lectures with people sitting on the floors seemed bad.The accommodation was alright, the food was amazing in the catered halls but I'd recommend self catered as you get better facilities and you don't get put into a twin room that really doesn't have enough space. There is also a lack of things in common between room-mates they don't consider who there putting together.The sport was good, with a wide range of choices and ability to join in with what ever you wanted.The student union is good a good laugh even if the floor becomes extremely sticky, I even lost a shoe! The student life is good not fantastic but then its not a massive place.

It is a good university with a modern academic staff, which is quite adequate for the department I chose.
