I like the medieval stuff in the city but the SU's pretty

Great campus - terrible food.

The best part of my university experience has been the people I met and the opportunities to grow both academically and personally. The supportive learning environment, diverse student community, and opportunities to get involved beyond the classroom made my experience truly rewarding. I especially appreciated having access to staff who were approachable and willing to support students. The main challenge was sometimes the administrative side of university life, particularly communication and response times, which could be improved to make the student experience smoother. Overall, though, my university experience has been incredibly valuable and has helped me become more confident, independent, and prepared for my future career.

Everything is amazing, worst part is due to everything being so great, everything sells our really quick

I love the freedom in my course. I’m able to choose all of my modules and specialise in exactly what I am interested in. I’m also able to choose modules from other schools. For example 2 of my 6 modules this year are with the school of languages and communication studies because I’m taking A2+ and B1 Spanish alongside my history modules. I love the amount of greenery and the lake. It gives the university an ethereal feeling. It’s close to Norwich City Centre with really good bus services. However, there is a lot of building work on the campus which can make manoeuvring around difficult and some schools, like history, have been disrupted and displaced. There is also a lot of traffic around Norwich which can make commuting hard and getting into the city centre difficult. The food options on campus aren’t the best.

As an international student, campus support is very helpful and never made me feel out of place. The same can be said for the student body, everyone has been gracious and open-minded when interacting with me. The campus offers many things that can benefit new students, such as the Shop, SIZ, and many other third space areas.

The clubs and societies are amazing as is my course I would like maybe a few more better facilities though

I chose Aberdeen because it offers a strong academic and research environment that aligns closely with my professional background and future goals. I also value Aberdeen's supportive student environment, its strong health research community and the opportunity to develop skills that I can eventually apply to public health challenges in Malawi and internationally. I think Aberdeen already provides a very supportive environment for students, so I would not identify major gaps in the basic student experience.

The campus is gorgeous, cosy, and full of nature all at the same time. Incredible facilities — 24/7 library and art gallery on site being favourites, with the lake being a highlight. Easy to get around by bike, foot, and bus. Loads of societies and clubs, events to be a part of. Really great student support and services, too. Sometimes feels a little out of the city but that also has its perks so on the whole really love it here!

UEA seems like a great place to study because it combines strong academics — it's consistently ranked among the UK's top 25 universities and its research is highly regarded — with a really nice integrated campus in Norwich and student satisfaction that's clearly on the rise. That said, I think it could be improved by sorting out its financial troubles, since the job cuts and low staff morale can't be good for the overall student experience, and by making assessment and admissions processes clearer and more consistent.
