Really enjoying it so far as the collegiate system is really helpful. Get involved in as much as you can, have fun but also work hard!

Having a great time. Make sure you look into the Colleges to pick the right one as all are very different and are scattered around the City. Also I love being in a smaller town even if it isn't for everyone.

The university is a nice one, if you're interested in practical sports or teaching (or both) then this is definitely a place to go. Unfortunately I didn't sign up to either of those and didn't really feel like I got what I had signed up for. If you prefer smaller universities with a decent atmosphere then again consider Marjon. All members of staff are generally happy to bend over backwards to help you, which is a really nice thing. The only real problem with the university itself is being three miles from the city centre and although there are decent bus service, it costs to get around. Because the university is mainly interested in teaching and sports, if you don't do a course in those realms then you won't feel like you fit in to Marjon as you'll be in a minority. (Even sports journalism makes you seem like you're hidden away). Because of this, most of the students are 'jock' types and very much the non-academic type. The facilities in the university are great, the sports centre is fantastic and the newly refurbished library and media centre are also great new assets. One not so great asset is the student union. The Sub bar is normally empty and if you're not interested in playing sport, drama, drinking or the Christian Union, there is nothing going on for students. The student union is a big advocate of playing sports and drinking, very little else. The city of Plymouth is a really nice one and a city I would recommend staying in to study.

Sussex has some excellent courses available and some great lecturers and tutors to teach them. Having members of staff that are actively researching the topics about which they are teaching makes for very interesting and informative lectures and seminars. Brighton as a university town is superb, there is always a lot going on: every night of the week there are a number of good clubs to go to; there are plethora of restaurants and bars all with handy student deals; shopping is good fun, and there's a beach! On the flip side, if you like sport do not come to Sussex. Organisation of sport is poor here, the quantity and quality of sport available is not particularly high and the union has very little money so, whilst I believe they try their best, it's very hard to advance with clubs which are in development. Facilities are good here, but not outstanding.

Highest ratings - city life! Wonderful city, so much to do - whatever you enjoy really is on offer, whether it be nightlife, societies/clubs, eat out, etc etc!Lowest ratings - student union! Currently being rebuilt - has been closed from around new year and won't be open until May 2014! Substitute student union is small and pokey.. once the new one is built, will be fantastic!

Wifed range of Courses within the Arts, from Digital media, Film to costume, fashion, Fine Art and Architecture. While tutors/lecturers may be practiced in their field, it does not necessarily mean they are competent at teaching in a lecture hall, and it is often a struggle to get your hands on equipment given some of the courses seem to be massively over subscribed.

Nottingham uni is great, the campus is beautiful, the halls I lived in in first year were amazing, there is lots of grass, great student bars and social atmosphere, and lovely people.Lecturers and classes are mostly top notch, I study hispanic studies and I love it.Nottingham as a city is lovely. It has a great nightlife and the lacemarket has all the vintage shops and little side streets you could need.In my biased opinion it is one of the best.

UWE is great if you choose the right place to live. I made the mistake of living in Fishponds at the Glenside campus in first year which is very far out of the city centre (where all the cool stuff is going down). Now I am in my 2nd year I can appreciate Bristol a lot more as I live more central. My Journalism course is situated at Bower Ashton campus, this campus is in a beautiful location and is accessible by walking from Clifton (parts), Hotwells and Bedminster. The teaching on my course is brilliant as the staff/lecturers really care about how well you do and whether or not you take anything useful away from the class you have been to. They are all interesting people and are very experienced in their teaching field. I don't visit Frenchay much but the student union there is good for a cheap and easy night especially if you live there or near to it, they have regular events and serve reasonably priced food! Bristol in general is a fantastic city for students, a place like no other. The variation of things to do here is just incredible, from the graffitied hippyness of Stokes Croft to the posh continental looking streets of Clifton. Here is a great blog to look at for a real feel of Bristol and what it has to offer. http://themajestyofsmallness.wordpress.com/2013/07/05/bristol-give-me-a-signal/

Course left a lot to be desired, and the psychology department is rammed with inept morons. Other than that I had a good time.

The courses are usually taught by people who are leading in the relative field and the access to reading material is amazing. The atmosphere around the university is always good and its so central. There are a lot of different opportunities to do extra curricular stuff within your department as well as trying something completely different. The university halls vary from one to another so its worth researching them or asking people you know before applying. Having said all that, its not a campus so if you're looking for that campus-y vibe, its probably not the place for you.
