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.
The best are the people around they are so kind and helpful if i need support. Many facilities like the McClay library supports my study process. I have a problem with the accommodation where people are smoking and messy on the public areas, maybe security can be tightened for the better hygiene and safety.
The best are the teachers, all of them know what they are doing and teach us with passion. But some courses lack of facilities like labs and stuff. But overall the program and course is really great
I like how it’s very safe. But I don’t like how public spaces like the sharing kitchen is always dirty and many people smoke in my flat
The best aspects would be the people that I met so far, and the opportunities and skills I have gained. The worst would be that sometimes you feel lonely and homesick a lot.
The course is overall good, but sometimes the tutorials feel like a waste of time.
Very good uni, can’t fault it. Helped with all my accessibility needs
Every lecturer is approachable and available either via email or Discord
I love this uni. It’s great! What I love so much about it is how close your course is. With each year consisting of very few students you really become a family whereas, other universities you rarely even speak to people on the same course as you! The student life is good but it can be a bit dull due to the lack of student based businesses in Chichester and Bognor meaning that for anything ‘trendy’ you are expected to travel to Portsmouth or the surrounding areas. What I don’t love is the accommodation. The uni has two main off-site accomodations in Chichester and both are not nice places to live. Whilst Fishbourne has better facilities, it is a cold, dire place to live. Stockbridge on the other hand has stained carpets, showers in which you press a button for 30s of water at a time, and tiny kitchens. I am particularly disappointed in the accommodation manager, when I reported a flatmate for aggressive and threatening behaviour and asked not to be identified, he promptly told the flatmate about what I had said. This issue desperately needs to be sorted out. Overall, particularly in the Conservatoire, the uni has been dealing with some big budget cuts causing certain courses to become essentially obsolete and just made to keep funding up. This is really disappointing as it means students are being admitted to a course that wont utilise their talents therefore not preparing them for the industry that they are desperate to enter.
Triple Threat is an amazing course! It has wonderful lecturers with years of experience behind them, amazing support, and a very good amount of contact hours. The only change I wish for would be even more contact time. We already have a lot but that little bit more could push the course even further!
As I mentioned before, Fishbourne is a cold, dire place to live. It’s 35m walk away from the university and due to the uncertainty of the 707 bus I had to walk in freezing cold weather or pay extortionate amounts for an uber. The accommodation team are great yet the accommodation manager is awful. It was far too overpriced and whilst it had some good amenities the environment was very off putting.
Liverpool is not only a great place to live, but also to study. The university is centred at the heart of central Liverpool life, allowing for easy commutes for research purposes. The campus is homely and community-driven with places such as The Guild and Student Union for support, help, and fun! The standard of education is amazing, with lecturers pushing students to their full potential with fast marking, insightful help and almost immediate responses to queries via email, allowing a personal connection to be had between student and teacher. Improvements could be made to the safety. Of course, there is crime in every city but with student halls and houses in a place where crime rates are high and is the most dangerous area in all of Merseyside. With young people like myself, i feel that the university could do more to ensure the safety of its cohort. Despite the community feeling on campus, the danger of the city is minutes away from that, so I would like to see an increase in support services and security fot students
Lecturers are so responsive to students with their queries, and the opportunity to speak to them personally after lectures or in their office hours is extremely helpful when discussing course content and assignments. Even outside of these contact hours, lecturers respond quickly to questions regarding academic studies, which is something I especially appreciate, as it allows for a personal and professional connection between student and teacher. The facilities are great, and there are always opportunities provided by the university to do extracurricular events to gain experience and start putting things on my CV to help start a career. The only area of improvement I can think of is that some of the content, especially in semester one, was focused on A-level politics content. Whilst I understand that not everyone took the A- level and this is required to get all students on the same level of understanding, i feel there couldve been challenges and a stretch of knowledge for students who did take A- level politics (which was the majority) as at times going to lectures felt like a repeat of things in the A- level textbooks.
The value for money is great, the cleaner comes frequently, and the binmen come three times a week without fail. When issues arise, maintenance sorts it very quickly and the staff at the office are always helpful and friendly. They are great at helping with issues beyond maintenance and picking up parcels, and I feel as if I've gotten to know them on a personal level. My flat and I love living in Crown Place, the location is ideal for lectures and going into town and I've never had a personal problem. Even when others havent liked their flatmates, Crown is amazing at sorting that and offering advice and relocation for those. The sofas are not the most comfortable compared to other accommodations at Liverpool, but that's a minor issue. The only real issue there is, is the washing room. Washing machines are often out of order, which means at times there's only 10 washing machines available for the over 1000 students in Crown place. Queues for washing machines can be long.
Northumbria's sports facilities are fantastic, I love sports central. As a sport lover it is a great place to go, super encouraging at getting students to be involved in sports whether through participating or watching. The psychology department is brilliant, nice big rooms and social spaces for independent study or group chats. Habita is cosy and big, always showing sports, fun music and cheap food and drinks.
Best: Lecturers make every effort to make students feel comfortable while encouraging engagement during classes. Many lessons are a good blend of listening to the lecturers talk alongside workshop activities which help to solidify content. Worst: Some modules tell us about assignments very late on into the course or do not provide us with enough information or clarification at all.
It’s a great place to study because the academic environment is supportive, the teaching quality is strong, and there are plenty of opportunities to grow through projects, events, and collaboration with classmates. The campus community also makes it easy to feel included and motivated. It could be improved by streamlining administrative processes, offering clearer communication, and reducing unnecessary bureaucracy. More practical learning opportunities and better support during exam periods would also make a big difference.
Best aspects The course offered a good balance of theory and practical learning, and the blended teaching style made it flexible and easy to follow. The lecturers were approachable and supportive, and the regular contact hours helped me stay on track. Worst aspects Some modules felt a bit rushed, and communication about deadlines or changes could have been clearer. At times, online sessions lacked engagement, and the workload during certain periods was heavier than expected.
Cardiff itself is a lovely city and it has afforded me a great social life. However, the course at university has not been quite what I’ve been hoping for, as there have been heinous budget cuts which has immensely negatively affected the quality of the course and the subjects available for study

I did not enjoy my first year accommodation, my housemates where generally unruly (with a few exceptions), and whilst it was easy to get into town from where I was, I was completely cut off from the other university accommodations and so had limited access to other people, and I was too far away from where my lectures were taught
I really enjoy studying at the University of Chichester. The lecturers are supportive and approachable, which makes it easier to ask questions and feel confident in your learning. The campus has a friendly atmosphere and it’s quite easy to meet people through societies and different activities. The facilities and study spaces are good overall, and there are helpful support services if students need academic or wellbeing support. One thing that could be improved is communication about timetables and assignments, as it can sometimes feel a bit unclear or last minute. It would also be helpful to have more study spaces available during busy periods. Overall, it’s a welcoming university with great staff and a positive learning environment.
I am currently studying dance education and teaching at the university of Chichester, and my experience on the course has been incredibly positive. One of the best aspects is the number of contact hours we receive. Being in classes five days a week means we get consistent, hands-on training and support, which really helps develop both our practical dance skills and our understanding of teaching. The facilities are fantastic and make such a difference to the learning experience. We have access to four fully equipped dance studios as well as a yoga room, which gives us a great variety of spaces to train rehearse and explore different styles and techniques having these facilities available throughout the week allows us to make the most of our time on the course. The lecturers are also a huge highlight. They are incredibly knowledgeable, supportive and genuinely invested in our development. They help us grow not only impractical dance training but also in the theory and academic side of dance education. What really stands out Is that their support goes beyond just the course content - they are always willing to help with anything outside of the course as well whether that’s career advice placement or personal development. Overall the course provides a really well-rounded experience that prepares for a future in dance education. With regular contact hours excellent facilities and such supportive lecturers. It’s a fantastic environment to learn and grow as both a dancer and a teacher.
I currently live in Stockbridge Hall of residence and while there are some positives there are also a few down sides. The location is definitely one of the biggest advantages. It’s only about a half an hour walk to the university of Chichester campus and around a 10 minute walk into town, which makes it really convenient for both studying and socialising. There is also a leisure centre directly behind the building which is great if you’re easy access to gym and sports facilities. However, the main downside is the cost compared to what we are actually getting. The rooms are very small and feel quite boxed in which doesn’t really reflect the amount of money we are paying. I’ve also personally experienced several issues within my flat and I’ve had to call maintenance multiple times to get things fixed. Overall while the location is very good the size of the rooms and the number of maintenance issues make it difficult to justify the price. For what we are given paying around £7,000, doesn’t feel very reasonable.
It’s a great place to study because the campus and the convenience of the student accommodations/ houses near campus is good. It is also good teaching wise as most of the professors are top tier. What could be improved is that the support is horrible. When students are stressed we don’t know where to go especially the team of law is not supportive, even the professors are more supportive. It’s hard to be understood by them or to get some clarity. I wish they’d be more helpful
I love most of my courses they’re all in person but I think with a course like mine, it’s necessary to be in person and I do enjoy it. I haven’t really had much contact with lecturers outside of lectures so not too sure about how good/ easy it is to do so. Most professors are of a high calibre and it is quite easy to talk to them.

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 ...
