The University of Leeds is a massive university with great societies and facilities. It is based right in the middle of Leeds which makes it easy to get to from all areas of Leeds. One of Leeds biggest plus points are its student areas which are hyde park and Headingley which are both buzzing student communities which really make Leeds feel like your home. The biggest downfall Leeds had for me were the halls I stayed in, in my first year. I stayed in Leodis Halls which are a short walk from the campus and are very close to the city centre, although the facilities in the halls were good, it was very expensive and not very social at all. Having spent a lot of time in Boddington I found this a much better place to enjoy your first year of Uni as they have a lot of socials, events and a great sense of community. Overall Leeds is a great place to study and is a very friendly city with a cracking nightlife. I would never put any one off studying at Leeds.

The student life and the general environment of the uni was brilliant! It was like being in your own little bubble. It felt like being in a little family community, and even after having left university if I meet someone who studied at Brunel it instantly feels like there is a bond.There is a lot to do in terms of extracurricular activities - join clubs and societies and get involved! That is one part of my university life I regret - not getting as involved as I could have in the first 2 years. When my final 2 years came I was too busy with my workload to get involved!In terms of the course itself, I studied Business and Management (Marketing). Overall I wasn't too happy purely because I didn't quite realise before I started how much would consist of independent learning - only 6 hours a week on ave. of lectures wasn't enough in my opinion. Also I didn't quite realise that the course involved a lot of independent learning. From this a word of advice would be to ensure you double check the no. of tutor hours or the number of students per lecturer.Despite not being too happy with the teaching for my degree, I think it pushed me harder and it definitely paid off as I ended up with a 1st Class degree :).I also did a sandwich degree (my 3rd year was a placement year in industry), and that is definitely something I would recommend! It's a brilliant opportunity to get hands on experience, a majority of placements are paid, it made me more determined to succeed in my final year, and it gave me a year of experience to add to my C.V - I secured a job only months after graduating!

I have had an incredible time at QMUL. My course has been well delivered with lots of modules to choose from each year, allowing me to specialise and focus on my own personal areas of interest. The campus is perfect for me; not too big, not too small. It feels safe and homely whilst still being right in the centre of the capital city. There's always something to do, whether it be on campus in the Students' Union, or off campus in the city - there's never a dull moment!

General atmosphere of campus and student accommodation is great and Brighton city is very welcoming and full of students.

Great place to be a student, there are thousands of us. Great nightlife, places to eat and shopping. University campus is friendly and welcoming, I wouldnt go anywhere else!

Sussex is not the radical uni it used to be. In line with most higher education institutions it is run more and more like a business. This means seminar hours have been cut to save money - which I do not think has students best interests at heart.

All in all a great uni experience. Huge variety of courses, great nights out, lovely area, excellent accommodation, excellent standard of teaching, plenty to do on campus.

Employability is the most important thing when looking at a University - and BPP University is top in that. When I went to interview saying I had a degree from BPP, the Partner interviewing me said he had one too and we instantly clicked - after that selling myself was the easy part.If you want to be taught by practitioners teaching practitioners - rather than researchers who don't care about you - then definitely choose BPP.

The thought of being by the sea and in Brighton and close to London seemed great! And basically that's all this uni has going for it. I found the set up very disorganised, the help they provided was very limited and the academics didn't seem confident in what they were teaching. Socially it's very poor, freshers week wasn't very good at all, there were no fancy dress nights or events to bring people together to help the bonding process at all. You're pretty much left to your devices and there's not a lot to do unless you want to venture out into Brighton and find things to do. And I should add, there is a lot to do in Brighton like theatres, restaurants, shops and events..but as for the uni it's pretty poor for what you're paying for. It's gone down 10 places in the complete university guide rankings from last year, which is really not good!

The university of Leeds is perfect because it is a campus that is only 5 minutes from the city centre which means you get the best of both worlds. There are a huge amount of clubs and societies on offer and the sport is one of the best I have experienced, with many modern facilities to accompany. Accommodation is a big part of uni life and Leeds has a wide variety of places to stay, I would recommend being on or near campus because then you get a great feel for uni life whilst still being close to the city. The nightlife and shopping in Leeds is excellent and I will guarantee you will never be bored at Leeds uni.
