Very communal
The best aspects are the staff as they are really friendly and helpful and there is a lot of seating and support.
Friends and people from around the world
How welcoming the environment is and i have nothing bad to say
Good
I really enjoy going here, I love the location and the overall welcomeness and support of this University. I just wish that there were more facilities, such as a student bar and for more areas to seem more updated especially the Coslet building.
Would like better study areas (areas that are more comfortable, that are nicer to sit in for independent study).
Its been nice, but I would like to see more football events.
It’s nice
I think some parts of the campus look quite outdated and may need and updated look (eg. Film studio and coslett as a whole aren’t particularly nice looking) and I feel the campus is missing some key features from other unis such as a student bar.
Not gassy enough.
Facilities are pretty outdated. Staff are mostly nice, supportive and passionate.
Good
I like my course and my friends, and I've done well so far.
Teaching can be improved much more at ARU. More time needs to be devoted by lecturers in explaining topics and concepts to students especially in science degrees. In the name of self learning, it’s pretty evident that lecturers just get away with that. Good experienced staffs should be hired and not new people in the field of teaching. This cannot be applicable to everyone , there are amazing staffs as well. Overall lectures should do justice for what they are in university for. In addition, would like to stress on the fact that the university should definitely work on their habit of checking and updating their records on the student administration side of things. They have this habit of sending out threatening emails to students on outstanding fee payment or else the would withdraw them from the course when the student has already paid the fees. University should develop the habit of checking their records and updating them before sending out threatening emails to students. Very poor performance by the university in this regard.
It’s a great place to study!


Overall its a good experience.. Need to improve student support and focus on students mental and social struggles
