Really great place to be, interesting and rounded courses. The accommodation was a bit lax in terms of upkeep, but really nice. The courses are very interesting, the teachers are very nice, with only a few exceptions. Brighton as a city is incredible, and could not recommend it any more in terms of a place to live, albeit an expensive one

I was impressed when seeing their amazing facilities, ensemble rooms, practice booths, etc. However, I have to say, I am really really extremely gutted when I started my course here. It was a huge disappointment. First of all, offering no class in music theory and harmony is rather an odd thing. My first guitar workshop was held in the basement of a pub across the street?! And that workshop, for 1st year students, were to teach us how to recognise notes on the fretboards while they were expected to have at least grade 8 in their playing skill, but can't recognise what notes they're playing on the fretboard…!! I had 3 days of school per week, and only 3 hours out of those 20, I get to use my guitar at school. For the first couple of weeks, the task for the weekly band practice session was just to come up with random riffs which the supervisors don't even care how they sound like, and then go home without even remembering a bit of it. Tutors are rather inexperienced. One of the guys I had didn't seem to know much more than I do. 1-to-1 lessons are completely directionless with no specific curriculum. To make it short, I did not get what I expected, I did not get to learn any theory and harmony, I didn't get to improve my sight reading skill, I didn't get to practically learn to play the guitar, I didn't get to improve my aural

University of Dundee

Law (Scots and English) Dual Qualifying - LLB (Hons)

Dundee is a fab place! IIf you throw yourselves you'll have a blast at Dundee. There are so many societies and sports clubs so you never be bored. The union is amazing and always cheap... what ever student really wants! With a VIP you get free entry into the union on nights out and drinks are always at a bargain price. During the day the union is always offering deals on food.I think all of my tutorial leaders and lectures previously or still do work in law. The lectures aren't really the lecturer reading off a slide they are always informative and they try to make them entertaining. All the staff are really friendly and answer all your questions and have drop in sessions so you're never let to struggle alone. The first year I stayed in halls. I really enjoyed living in halls, and am now best friends with my flat mates! The rooms are actually quite big and my kitchen was massive. My flat was on ground floor but it was always safe (even when you went out with your windows left open).The support staff and maintained company are really helpful and are willing to give advice and assist with most problems. There are lots of events going on at the union where students who live in halls get free entry which is always a plus! The only downside to halls is the price, it's almost £5000 a year for un catered and you have to pay £2.80 to pay to use the washing machines.Everywhere in Dundee is really close so you never have to take a bus you can walk to where every you want to go. The town is surprisingly big. There are good transport links with the train station and bus station. Also I think you can find almost all the high street shops you could want. The eye candy is okay there are a lot of girls here! That doesn't mean the guys aren't good looking tho ;)

What a fantastic, immersive and vibrant place to live and learn. The student union building is by anybody's standard, abysmal. Bristol flavours and vibe are captured by its people; vivacious yokel folk who plough the fertile land of this great city. I would personally like to thank each and every Bristolian for welcoming me into their hearts, abodes and humble, happy lives. God bless, C.

Uni is great. I've made many friends although unsure about some of these individuals. Lectures have been good, although the lectures I do attend, I can barely understand what the lecturers are talking about. Overall though, I really like it here. Syndicate is great. Thanks. B.

Beautiful uni in a beautiful city. Bristol offers a high calibre of teaching, has excellent facilities and based in a vibrant city with something always going on. If you love going out then Bristols for you. If you have a wide taste in music and enjoy going to clubs and gigs then Bristols for you. If you love a friendly and community feel in an area then Bristol's for you. Don't think twice, its alright

Exeter Uni is probably the best uni on earth! The accommodation is lush and to such a high standard, the university and town are both stunning to look at, convenient and well stocked to meet all your needs! Everyone is so friendly and there is so much to do and be a part of, especially if you are in to sports!

really enjoy living in the city, theres always something to do and something special going on! The uni itself is great, a very good working atmosphere with both very modern and traditional buildings giving it a great feel. the union is currently under development so isn't really used at all, but i haven't found that disappointing as there is plenty of other places to go to socialise, work or go out.
