Hi there, I'm Luna.
I'm a bit like an AI, except instead of making pictures of people with 16 fingers, I can help you find the perfect course and uni.
Would you like some help in your search?
Our collection of real, honest student reviews of unis and courses is the largest in the UK, and helps you make well-informed decisions about your future. Student reviews also form the basis of our annual Whatuni Student Choice Awards (WUSCAs), which highlight great work carried out by institutions for their students.
I'm loving my time at UEA, especially all the activities and societies
Dreadful for student support for PhD students. This university is only for undergrads.
There is loads of support for students with both personal life and academic life. I've found everyone to be very friendly and welcoming and have enjoyed my first year so far.
Everything student is really practically accessible, shop, restaurant, bar and active nightclub in campus, but when trying to go to the city centre for variety and cheaper prices, the bus is so long, so unreliable. If there was a direct bus from the Uni to Town Centre, even if only once per hour, it would improve quality of life by ten fold
UEA is lively, vibrant and deeply cultural. With a active night life, beautiful classic architecture and lots to see. Its the perfect place for me. I didn't have hot water for a week in accoms though.
Best - Friendly peeps as everyone in the same boat Worst- Odd time lecture - hate getting 2 buses for an hour in the afternoon
Some of the best aspects is the large campus. The university library has so many floors and even smaller study or group study rooms. There are also so many beautiful walks to do on campus making it such a peaceful place to both live and study at. Sociably, the amount of societies and sports clubs is exponential and there’s a space for every single person from any background to fit into. They also regularly host club nights at their on-Campus venue allowing for even more socialising outside the uni timetable. To improve, they could host more accessible events for people who commute to University as sometimes the timings of these events are slightly awkward.
The sense of community at UEA is great, and you can create such a diverse friend group through societies, classes, housing, and general students activities. Accessibility is incredibly important to every department at UEA, and they work hard to make sure every student can thrive in whatever way that looks like for each individual. However, it is clear that funding is directed heavily more towards certain departments, and it would be nice to see a more even and fair split of the funds across the university
I think it's a nice place to study because of the community and location. There is always something going on and the city is amazing. The staff is also really nice and you have so much support. The river is also really nice so the atmosphere is incredible. One thing to improve I think would be the visuals... More colour would be amazing on buildings so it's less cold. Especially if people are far away from home, it can seem a bit daunting and sad!
There is no worst part of it regarding the University, Currently I can only judge by comparing with my previous Experience - Back Home in Tanzania. Overall, I am having the best experience, and I am doing my best to catch up with it! - The location, Facilities, Support and easy to get what I want for Studies and general life experience, this is something I would totally say - I have always wanted!

Other students also liked these unis - you might too!
It is a good university with a modern academic staff, which is quite adequate for the department I chose.
PROS - The university has been absolutely stellar at providing opportunities to those who put in that extra effort. - Support, particularly the maths gym provided by the uni for ...
