I study Digital Film Production and my lecturers are perfect. They are very passionate about what they teach and always work extra hours if needed and if you want them to put on an extra class about something you don't understand, they are willing to do that. They are absolutely brilliant =) In terms of facilities the media department are pretty decent but I do wish they had more high quality equipment, however I do understand that they have limited budgets.Job opportunities are quite good as we have a careers adviser who has worked in the industry and has the contacts, same with the lecturer's who have worked in the industry and have the contacts. Only thing that might limit us is the fact that most of the filming work is in Manchester and London, whereas there is little work in the North East for filming. If the North East had a large film network then the university would be perfect in terms of Work Experience. I also need to mention that it is amazing that the university get industry connections in to do a masterclass for students. It's great to hear from the people who have industry influence.For accommodation in first year I lived in Panns Bank which was great. I love the layout of it, it was really nice and only 15 minutes walk to campus. Sunderland itself is quite decent. It has restaurants, bowling, cinema (a very cheap cinema for students I have to say. I love how cheap it is) a brilliant shopping centre, and several free museums. I haven't mentioned clubs or pubs as that is not my kind of thing so I can't really comment on that. Accommodation is quite cheap if you decide to rent a flat/house, what I pay now is £65 a week and that includes all bills and internet. It's great =)

University so far has been really good, ive found all of my lecturers really helpful, the city itself is great lots of shops and a really varied (and cheap!) nightlife. Overall i would definitely recommend University of Leeds to anyone as its a thriving city with a really good and highly respected university

I have been really impressed with the way the university has approached the moving in of new students and the different events they have organised.

The actual university is very nice. Accommodation is very nice and there is a nice community feel to it. The lecturers are funny and interesting at the same time and my course has been good so far. The University is near to Brighton which is good for nightlife with many bars and clubs.

University of Sunderland is certainly impressive, with their fantastic staff, academic courses and the use of facilities. I applause this University for the warm reception to the freshers and reassuring them that they always here to help with ANYTHING, even if it is a silly question or two. My Criminology course, in particular, has been brilliant in the past seven weeks. It was overwhelming at the start, but you will adapt quickly because the academic lecturers are ready to help and guide you through subjects you are not sure about. It is normal to come out of lectures thinking 'I haven't got a clue what the lecture was about', that's what the seminars is for! Also, the use of facilities are great. 24 hour Murray library access on the books and computers next to the city campus. Most of the campus is a short walk from town. The buildings are placed in short distance from each other, which is great. Accommodation doesn't apply to me, but I've heard that most of the students are satisfied with their living standards.

From the perspective of someone studying Psychology, the course content and lecturer quality is what sets the degree at Bristol apart from other unis - its a science. Hence the high job prospect score. Accommodation varies due to which hall you're in but facilities are great. Some lookers too

Night life is especially good, lots of options for everyday. There are clubs for every sport and the gym is adequate.

Great facilities e.g. sports pitches and gym. Amazing variety of social activities from bowling to a range of nights out, and well run societies

Leeds is a great city to live in, with plenty to do day or night. The campus is pretty good and everythings really close by

Whilst the institution itself is welcoming and the course I take (English language and literature) is okay with the lecturers all being friendly and approachable, I still can't 'love' Sunderland university. The area is bleak, the accommodation (precinct) is prison-like with a very poor support team who hardly support us at all, and the nightlife leaves a lot to be desired. As a fan of heavy metal and rock music I still haven't found anywhere I can bear to drink, not even anywhere that plays anything other than remixes and clubland style rave music (forget passion rocks, rubbish). I'm heavily biased as I miss home and was never too excited about moving to sunderland anyway, but my main advice is GO TO A UNI SOMEWHERE YOU WANT TO LIVE AND FORGET HOW WELL SCORING THE UNI IS. I mean, it's all fine and dandy if the uni IS great, but don't let that be all you consider. Another point to consider generally, I still haven't seen anyone I'd consider attractive, yet plenty of people are very 'forward' around this area which can be intimidating if you're from a smaller area or one where this never happens.
