I went to the vet school at Bristol and it was truly the worst experience of my life. They increased the number of students to the point that there was not one lecture room that could accommodate my year and people had to sit on the floor during lectures. There is a culture of double standards between staff and students. By the final year I was expected to work 3 consecutive weeks without a day off. Whilst I was there, there were 25 student suicides. Lots of friends were kicked out. Students were reporting sexual harassment by placement providers. I had to report numerous incidents of verbal abuse by university hospital staff. Mental health and disabilities were not at all taken seriously. Student support facilities were very poor. When students asked for mental health support, they were advised to leave the university instead. It was an extremely unsafe and toxic environment and I could not wait to get out of there. I would not recommend!!

Aberystwyth is a great University for Computer Science. I was a career changer with no experience coding before coming here and the course taught me everything I needed to gain a placement with a AAA game studio. I wanted to write this review because I remember looking for Universitys when applying and wondering if Aber is good. I saw a review saying that the course didn't prepare them for the Industry at all. I strongly disagree. As someone who didn't come from an ICT background and didn't code at all before, I can tell you you will learn everything you need. Just go to your practicles! Truth is because it's Computer Science attendence is low, and students who don't do the un-assesed practices and coursework will have a hard time. If you want to go to a Uni though where lecturers care about you, take the time to talk to you and are invested in your success it's a great choice. Aberystwyth also has good ties to the industry and goes out of its' way to get students career ready. If you want to know where students end up just look up the Uni on linkedIn. Aberystwyth has gotten rewards for its' teaching repeatedly, and rightfully so. Yes, it's not a Russel Group University and prestige is not on the same level, but if you're engaged and want to learn the skills and have great lecturers and an active student life (because there is really nothing else to distract you from your studies in Aberystwyth) it's a great choice.

The Best: Any clarity on studies, student life, mental health, physical fitness was easily approachable and helpful. Professors are very kind and knowledgeable. When questioned correctly they are ready to help at any extent. Access to library and fitness is very useful and maintained promptly. Ambience and location of the university is perfectly held.

I study Business Computing BSc at University of the West of England and my experience has been very positive so far. The lecturers are friendly, supportive, and always willing to help students when needed. The campus facilities are good and there are plenty of places to study and work on assignments. Student life is enjoyable and the university has a welcoming atmosphere. Overall, I would recommend this university to future students

You can really experience the full university life here, and most of the lectures are engaging and interesting. The campus environment is welcoming and there are lots of opportunities to get involved. One thing that could be improved is the elevators in the Q building, as they can sometimes be inconvenient or slow during busy times.

UWE has such an amazing and welcoming atmosphere. The campus feels open and alive. My peers are so fun to meet and hang out with. My only negative experience here was with a poorly approved flatmate. UWE is amazing in many ways, but the lack of awareness when it comes to drug-related issues among students could be better. After witnessing a flatmate cause damage to the university property as well as verbal and physical abuse to others in an unsober state, the university accommodation services did an unsatisfactory job at ensuring consequences were met for this individual. But other than that, big ups UWE.

The best experience!

The best parts is that there is always something to do, working in the student union as well as being a customer you always have somewhere to support you too. The one thing I would say is that because I’m living on campus even during Christmas and Easter it’s hard to find something to do for 4 weeks

Best is the cheer and the societies and location. Worst is the events put on by the uni

It has great student supports both academically and placements wise. There is a large and welcoming community ready to help you at any point.
