University of Nottingham

Philosophy BA (Hons)

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

The University's main attraction for me was the campus, and I still love it to this day. Being surrounded by greenary and beautiful buildings is so much more calming than a busy main road, and I think it's a great area to study in. I love going on campus, especially when the weather's good - it's so important to have a calming background so you can focus on what really matters. However, I also love how outside of the campus walls is a busy city with all the shops I want, and an incredible nightlife. There's a reason Nottingham's voted highly for the clubs, as they're huge and in so much verity. With 1 in 10 people in Nottingham being students, you really feel at home going out, as everyone around you is in the same position. Going out clubbing is a large part of the 'student experience' and I'm glad I've got an amazing experience of it in this time of my life.The other thing that attracted me to Nottingham was the societies and how active they are. I found my main friendship group through my society and have done things that I never thought myself capable of doing. Societies are full of like-minded people so they're an amazing place to make friends for life.Finally, I love my course (Philosophy). I feel the lectures could be a bit better, but not every person likes every lecturer, so any uni is bound to have the same thing. I still love the ability to chose your own direction in the course, and if I'm not grasping or enjoying something enough to study it, I feel very supported in my studies by my tutors and lectures. I love the skills I've learned and the fact the course gives me time on the side to grow in other areas of life. I think I'll come out of Philosophy an incredibly rounded person with secure views, and the ability to really make my own decisions.

University of Lancashire

Nursing (Adult, Pre-registration) BSc (Hons)

University rating (1)
Tell us about your overall university experience so far.

This polytechnic university is a risky university, they take on student nurses who have not got a clue on the job description . This causes extremely high risk factors for forthcoming nurses and puts patients at extreme risks . They do a lot of under cover documents to terminate students they take a dislike to . Any problems then you are shown the door . They do information gathering approaches to terminate students, even though they have not done anything wrong .

Anglia Ruskin University

Fine Art - BA (Hons)

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

I can only vouch for the Cambridge School of Art, within the university even though the whole university is vibrant and exciting. The atmosphere in the Ruskin building of the Art School is like a family of like-minded people rather than a teaching environment. Everyone encourages others and all disciplines cross over - Fine Art, Photography, Graphic Design, Printmaking, Fashion, Film, postgrads and undergrads. It's the the major visual arts faculty in Cambridge and has links throughout the city with that other university and it museums and galleries and the Cambridge Union Society. A much needed beacon of pure art and design within a city of boffins and academics. Cherished by the city and the region, you get a sense you are in a place that is very special with people that are inspiring.

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

Having been at another university for three years prior to this I am really impressed with the facilities on offer at Leeds. There is a wide range of course, each with access to the appropriate labs, technology or resources. Lots of the lecturers are leading the field in their research areas. THe social side is amazing, there is a huge number of societies to get involved in and the student union is awesome. Like really awesome.

University of Winchester

Creative Writing and English Literature - BA (Hons)

Tell us about your overall university experience so far.

I actually was very unimpressed here, having gone to various open days here I thought it was a lovely university, however, I actually felt when I got here the reality was much different. The student helpers were no where near as friendly and the atmosphere was completely different. It was very very dis- organised! And there appeared to be serious communications issues between departments, and generally speaking people were very unhelpful. Also the nightlife is awful, to be honest I felt it was almost non-existent. Which made for a much more isolating experience. The 'freshers' I had was such a mess, the system for tickets etc was again disorganized and somewhat unfair as a lot of the 2nd and the 3rd years seemed to steal all the tickets and this seemed to be a vicious cycle. And the uni seemed to be aware but had done nothing about it. Also you were unable to buy any of the main events online and instead had to wake up at the crack of dawn if you wanted a chance of getting any. The events that I did attend weren't exactly 'wild' nights either just very average. I felt it was maybe more appealing/catered to

London School of Economics and Political Science, University of London

International Relations - BSc (Hons)

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

From the first day you enter LSE you'll know that everyone means business - it's all about getting jobs in the City. The plus side to that is that the university has one of the best job prospects around, and the negative point is that at least half of the students are really boring.

Northeastern University London

Philosophy (BA) Hons & NCH Diploma with Politics & Economics (NCH PPE Programme)

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

There is no better place for a university than the heart of the ever dynamic city of London and no better college to be at there than the New College of the Humanities! Studying with a cup of tea in one of the soft leather chairs in the Thinkery (Philosophy room) in our beautiful Georgian town house generates an intellectual, studious and family like atmosphere that is difficult to find anywhere else in the country. Our student union is responsive and buzzing with crazy ideas like a bus party in central London or a Breaking Bad Halloween Party, providing a perfect balance to all the academic challenges. It's a hard life, but someone has to do it!

University rating (5)

LSE is a very unique place, it's more like an international school (High School) than what you would expect from a traditional British University. If you love campus life, then this is not the place for you. But if you are independent, self-motivated and loves the dynamic life-style in the city (as well as many many many foreign students), then this is definitely the place for you.

Law (LLB) Hons & NCH Diploma with English

NCH is an incredible institution. The lecturers are amazing, and being able to learn from them at a 1-1 level makes the education provided even more stimulating. We also study a wider range of subjects, to corroborate our degree subjects. This liberal arts approach to education makes students more well rounded, and makes us enjoy the uni experience even more.Being in the heart of London is great too. The clubs and pubs are great-of course they are!-but London is a real culture capital. Cheap theatre (with loads of discounts for NCH students), concerts, football, museums and loads more, it is the place to be for Uni.
