Lincoln is a city where you can feel safe and welcome. The students are friendly and the courses are fulfilling, and the proximity of everything you'll need is really great. And it's always sunny on Sundays

Would firstly like to appoint the fantastic lecturers as they are very welcoming and friendly. This made it very easy to feel right at home within the first couple of weeks. However the accommodation on the other hand is not so great. I mean its liveable of course but I find the security not very friendly nor helpful, its university and i feel like i have my parents watching over me still? For an example we put a inflatable sofa bed outside our friends room for 2 minutes until he had arrived from his friends to take it back in his room as a friend borrowed it (which i point out was only down the corridor.) Then security feel need to get "aggy" and start asking us to remove it immediately, without our explanation. In my opinion and maybe most of the accommodation opinion we feel that they are power happy. This is never good. I doubt anyone reads this anyway but thank you for your time. Much appreciated

University of Exeter

International Relations - BA (Hons)

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

I am a first year student and currently do a degree in BA International Relations. When i came here to study this degree i could not even imagine how hard it will be to adapt to the required reading of specific literature. Back in Russia, i used to participate in all in-class debates and elaborate good level of communicative skills. Simply saying, i used to be one among the best students. I have been studying English properly for two years and when i came to Exeter i realised that the level of English was far from being advanced. This fact has been influencing me and made me feel uncomfortably because i simply could not participate in discussions on the same level as native speakers could. For thousands times i have been locked in my room along with reading for seminars and for essays. Even, taking into account the time that i have been spending on reading, i still feel lack of communicative skills. I feel myself a stranger in class among all native speakers. But you know what? I said "speak out", everyone here understands that you do extra work. Once i came to my tutor, crying, but she said to me that i have to be proud that i am putting a lot of efforts in studying. Foreign students have to participate in seminars and feel free to speak out, without being embarrassed. The University of Exeter builds your confidence. Students build friendly relationships with each other and academic stuff always here to support you. They believe in you, so should you believe in yourself.

Yeah good considering the grades you need to get entry. I dont know how good it would be if I didnt enjoy my course so much though. The accommodation was annoying in first year and over priced but Bristol city is really good.

Nightlife is really good as it covers many peoples tastes in music. The University is far from the City Centre which is inconvenient at time: with a lot of time spent on the buses going to and from uni. The SU used to have pound a pint night which was awesome but since they cut it the SU seems a bit dead. Overall enthusiastic lecturers.

Its averagely good. I enjoy my course but probably wouldnt enjoy UWE that much if I didnt. The city of Bristol is one of the best features of UWE. The lecturers are mostly very good.

Bristol, UWE

Diagnostic Imaging BSc (Hons)

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

I think that UWE is a good over-all Uni. I am based on one of the smaller campuses so there isn't as many facilities as there is on the main campus but it is still sufficiant. . The accommodation was good, I was in a flat of 8 and loved it.One draw back about the accommodation was that there were no ensuites on my campus. There is also no ATM on my campus which was very annoying. My course is quite good, most lecturers are good and we get external lecturers alot. They also said within 6 months 950of us will be employed. They give us 500of the course on placement too. The SU isn't great at night as it closes early so nobody really goes but the one on the main campus is good. Theres plenty of sports and societies but for some , theyre not on uni campus so thats annoying.The location of the uni is 10mins drive from the centre but the bus takes like 25mins , and are really unreliable. Bristol, in my opinion is a great city to be student in and the night life is really good as theres alot of clubs and bars.Overall I am happy with UWE and glad I chose to come here.

The campus is nice and small with friendly staff , although sometime unorganised. A lot of people seem to go home most weekends, so a lot of people can be 'loners' at weekends.There are relavent courses put on at the sports centre to help and enhance your CV.

UWE is a good university with lot of opportunities offered whether it's academically or socially. The sports facilities are pretty good, theres just so much to do, everyone can find something that they enjoy.Lecturers are okay, some good ones and some who a intelligent people but not that great lecturers and my timetable is reasonably good. Good atmosphere at the university and lot's of diverse people to get along with.
