The university staff are really good at resolving any issues a student may have. The primary education course is fantastic and the Student Union is fantastic at supporting students.

I really enjoy the university of cumbria. The atmosphere itself is just so welcoming, the tutors are friendly (although not always helpful) and ive met some amazing people throughout the whole 4 years. The course I'm on is perfect for my future career needs and most subjects are relevant and engaging. The accomodation is okay unless you miss home, which then it feels like a bit of a cell. There are lots of clubs and societies to involve yourself in and plenty of social opportunities. Placement is a great aspect of my course although sometimes the placement is far away or late to be given. Overall I cant complain with the uni as a whole.

The university of Cumbria is a good university. It is a very supportive university. Their are several campuses. The Lancaster campus is a great campus. The lecturers always have time to see students (even when they don't necessarily have time to). I would recommend this university for those wanting to go to a city campus university but not a huge one.

Sometimes different lecturers for the same module pass on different information to students which gets confusing. You are likely to have lecturers a few times throughout the 4 year course which is good for getting to know them! The city of Lancaster isn't the craziest place but alright if not too bothered about the night life- a few nice pubs and restaurants. No SU bar! Lots of societies and clubs though. The gym at the uni is tiny and not worth going to.

Not enough guys, barely any diversity.Nightlife is truly, truly awful.It's unbelievably boring here. This is not a city, it is a town.People are annoyingly cliquey and generally boring - small town syndrome. People also seem to only like chart music.I hate it here so much - I hate the 'nightlife', I hate the people, I hate the mind-numbingly boring middle-classness of it all.The only good part was travelling abroad because I got to get away from here.

The uni is a decent place to be. Lovely location. however the Uni itself lacked direction. The course was billed with been one of the best however when it came down to it. it was found lacking in the promises it gave I.e. jobs once qualified, was said to be around 800and out of 17 of us 1 got a job. This being said Lancaster in its self is an awesome night out and superb town.

The uni has some great courses and modules which are all interested and related to our course and job interests. In fourth year we have covered leadership and job applications which has really helped us!The lecturers are great and give us a lot of support with our work and essays so we never feel along with work.

The surrounding area is nice to live in. However compared to the big city I come from its a very small town to live in with no that much to do! You can get sick of going out after a few years.The campus is really nice though with lots of friendships and support! I would recommend this univeristy to anyone!
