As a student that commutes the timetabling could be better as some sessions are in very awkward timeslots for students who live more than 10 minutes away.
It’s a great place to study because we have a lot of teachers that help and support us. It’s also an amazing environment for students. The food is affordable and delicious.
It is surrounded by so much it makes student life really interesting. I feel as though for the amount of students it doesn't have enough private study spaces
Best would be the facilities and the support provided however the worst would be not enough facilities around for everyone. It’s too packed everywhere in the university so nobody can find space to do their work in piece.
It feels like there is very little support and communications for apprentices. Since my 1st year that has been confusion with modules, different lecture's not passing on the correct information. I haven't heard anything from my tutor since June to say that my tripartite meeting was cancelled, I'm not sure if he has left or not? Hence the no communication. Again in my second year already, there has been a mix up with the work that is required. The timetable doesn't work well, being in only 1 day a week, it feels disorganised that we have the seminar before the lecture, therefore we have a week gap from the relating lecture to the seminar. Personally I feel like this already isn't working, as each time we have been in the work does not corelate. Since Robert Waters is no longer here, it feels like the only bit of support we did have has now gone, There has been no commination with who his replacement is.

The library is a great resource to use for studying both online and in person. This includes technology available for students. To improve Seacole could have extended library hours like town campus.

The best is the support available for student that are struggling and needed support. the food is amazing and the diveersity of the uni makes it welcoming for everyone.
Its a really lively and engaging university there is always something going on. They have great student support services. Especially for learning disabilities like ADHD. Great environment looks to see and do. For anyone in psychology this is a great university to study at.
As a part time student the central location is great as it provides easy access from many public transport routes. The buildings are aesthetic and modern and overall it is a nice place to be. I cant comment on general student life as I'm not there full time, similarly with the student union as I am not that involved.
The environment provided and the facilities such as the three buildings and two floor libraries provide a lot of space and plenty of resources. However it could be improved by providing a bursary for individuals to help buy books on the curriculum, that are not in the library as some of these can be quite expensive and as a student money isn’t always easy. It’s also convenient as it’s not too far from the train station and the city centre.
Needs more dining spaces. Always issues with timetabling. Too busy big cues for drinks and lunch Harbourne road.
The campus is easy to find and accessible via the local tram. The staff are very supportive and willing to answer any questions via the moodle message board. Some of the rooms are not very spacious. There are no plugs for charging laptops, which is very annoying when you have 6 hours of lectures in one day.

Best: lessons, group work, support and activities Worst: timetable keep changing

- student union should be advertised more, as I haven’t heard much about it - student life could be a bit better if there was more social activities - advertisement of social activities should be done more - the best thing about university is that there is lots of help over career choices, meetings, discussions and future always is spoken about, the curriculum is always set and worked well with, students get loads of support through mental health which is really good, support across all sorts of things is looked at which is great
The best parts are the selection of food and drink, generally nice staff, and location to the station and the bullying. To improve I would suggest more events, more clubs, and more seating to accommodate the large number of students. The university can get very crowded at times.
The campus is really spacious and feels super welcoming! I would recommend to anyone and love the support I receive .
