Swansea University

Criminology and Social Policy - BSc (Hons)

University rating (3)

I am not liking this university. Starting from academics to accommodation. Nothing has its order. The classes keep cancelling. If not cancelled they keep shifting the classrooms and are impossible to find. I can hardly hear the lecturer when she is talking because there are around 90 students in the class. The assignments are expected to be perfect. Coming down to accommodation, it is no great. Hardly you can move in the rooms. You can feel the buildings vibrate if anyone walks around and its a task to sleep when someone else is awake and are making noise. Some good things like people, scenery, history, food etc are good things about swansea. But i feel swansea should be someones second option.

I am in love with this place. The city, university, beach everything.! I have the classes perfectly timed and have set a good routine to my life. Also the teachers take an extra step to help you understand things if you happen to miss out on some. It can be a task to find some classes at first, but then you get used to it. The worst part about this uni is the accommodation. They do ask about your needs and preferences but allocate the rooms according to their own wish. Also if you wish to grab a bite after 10 (all the shops and cafe close) it can be a task. Transportation is not an issue at all as there is a bus stand on the campus. The bus takes you pretty much everywhere. Another amazing part is the sports village which swansea has. its walking distance away and offers one of the best olympic size swimming pools.

The main attraction of this university is the beach. Honestly its not that good. The beach is pretty dead and has no one on it. rarely there are some events held on the beach. Apart from that the staff is pretty much good. They don't take any efforts to inform you things, just upload it on a website and expect you to figure it out. The lectures are pretty decent. The students union is also not that great and has a small club. The accommodations are pretty standard. To short it all it is a average universities with nothing much special.

Tell us about your overall university experience so far.

I have joined this uni for the sports culture which follows it. I am a great rugby fan and I love playing rugby. The first thing i did was join the team. Also the football team is making its way up. Apart from sports this university is really making it to top 10 universities for engineering. The labs and facilities for engineering are great. No classes are boring and long. Assignments and projects have a long deadline. I am living in the student village and i love it here. i am surrounded by students and its a mad feeling. Every time somethings going around me. I actually never feel alone or sad. The only bad part is the university is far from the student village and there is no free bus option available.

Geography - BSc (Hons)

This is one of the best uni’s in whales. probably the best! the best part of this uni is the vibe which it gives you during your term here. The teaching staff is wonderful and is ready to help you whenever required. they make sure that everything is done and presented in an order. Mostly all of us are interested in the party life and this place lives up to it.! the parties are crazy. If you are on-campus then you sure do have a ball. Managing your studies and social life is very simple here. Also whenever you are tired of things, there is a wonderful beach to chill on. This uni is totally worth every single effort i had to put in.

Overall, the course I studied wasn't what I expected and I don't think it prepared me well enough for my future career. A bigger variety of placements and longer placements would have been beneficial. The campus and location is really nice, but there are a lack of facilities, for example, enough computers that work in the library, or enough books at times of high demand. Furthermore, I didn't feel that there was enough choice at the students union for clubs and societies. The nightlife is good, but not like other universities such as Manchester or Liverpool, as there is a lot less choice.

University of Exeter

Business and Management - BSc (Hons)

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

Personally, I am satisfied with the quality of teaching, facilities and social life in the University of Exeter. Teachers are always happy to help if you have any questions. Lectures are interesting and teachers provide you only with useful information. The premises have all the facilities possible, for example, I enjoy studying in the Forum library very much. As for teachers' feedback, it is quite helpful but the tutorials are rather short and sometimes there is not enough time to ask questions. Accommodation is clean and pleasant, there is a takeaway shop and laundrette, which is convenient. Moreover, there is a bus stop nearby, so it is easy to get either to the city centre or to the university. However, fire alarms happen fairly often, which is annoying, especially in the morning. On the whole, I would say that I enjoy my time studying here and try to obtain all experience possible.

University of Exeter is probably one of the best place to study in UK. It has a really nice and beautiful campus with high varieties of uni facilities. The lectures are amazing, you feel that you're studding something that gonna be useful and all staff are really helpful. The location is good for uni, coz the city is not that big to disturb you from the studies, but it has everything that you need clubs shops and etc. I will highly recommend that uni

Business Economics - BSc (Hons)

Tell us about your overall university experience so far.

The University of Exeter is a really good place to study. There are a lot of opportunities offered in the University like language courses, career advice services and many different societies. The University is not very old and it takes full advantage of it being in the process of continuous development investing in the infrastructure (the new buildings built recently: Forum area and Sports Park), everything's fully equipped with modern and sophisticated equipment. The University staff is also of high level. And the programmes structure is very student-friendly. It also offers a wide range of programmes to choose from, some of which are very flexible.
