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.
My experience at Ulster University has honestly been disappointing overall. While there are some good lecturers and opportunities available, student support often feels inconsistent and many aspects of the university experience feel more stressful than supportive. Communication can be unclear, assessment expectations are sometimes poorly aligned with teaching materials, and there is a strong feeling of being left to figure things out alone under a lot of pressure. The workload and academic standards are understandable for a law degree, but there is not always enough guidance or transparency to match that level of expectation. The university has a strong reputation on paper, but the actual student experience can feel isolating and overwhelming at times, particularly during assessment periods.
One of the best experiences was the welcoming festival at the beginning of the year. I was so happy to see all communities and clubs introducing themselves to the new coming students where they can start to know people and get to know a bit more about the university and Bristol. I don't have a "worst moment" to be honest because this year with its courses was to get students to get used to the university and that's exactly what I got out of it.
I think this university is such a great place to be at and it has a lot of great facilities and resources and the support of students is amazing. Although some aspects are lacking a bit like the location which cant really be helped and there need to be some improvements with the student union with its events and the social event that go on inside the university. overall i have really loved it here and being here is great.
Best part is loads of different places to study, interactive support. Worst is parking.
Cardiff Met is an amazing uni to go to! The science facilities are well maintained and it has lots of facilities for studying. The only downside I would say is that there are two campuses and some events are only at one, so you need to travel across the area.
The lectures here are really insightful and provide lots of information, the people here are really friendly and the activity’s and events that go on are good fun to
I like that there is a lot of space and nature, and almost my professors are extremely good at their jobs. That said, I don't think the experience is value for money (or anything near it) which is disappointing.
It's a nice place with lots of green areas and the staff are really supportive and friendly. I think their needs to be more student support for example more regular drop ins with student advisors especially over times we are in placment.
I think what I’d probably like about University of the West of England is that it feels really practical and career-focused, especially for biomedical science. The labs and facilities seem modern, and there are good opportunities connected to hospitals and the pharmaceutical field around Bristol. I’d also probably like how diverse the university is because it makes it easier to meet different people and settle in as an international student. One thing I might not like s much is that sometimes the transport around Bristol can be tiring or expensive, especially when commuting between places.

It is a good university with a modern academic staff, which is quite adequate for the department I chose.
