the only thing that really needs improving is the student union as it is not in line with the rest of the university and is especially boring to attend on freshers week. great variety of courses though
the university is great with various lectures and other events that are planned to help future development however the freshers week is the same every year just with a different theme so needs updating badly
would happily recommend this university to everyone great employability skills learned during the degrees and great flexiblilty in module selection in second and final year
optomery course is amazing, very informative and loads of opportunities to practice what you learn. accommodation is lovely too and the atmosphere is like that of a family
loads to see and do in birmingham and with aston being central to the city you get to experience big city living. the university itself is great, very welcoming and everyone wants to helps everyone
lovely place to spend a few years of your life, the city is brill and loads of things to keep you busy. the university is great, looks a little outdated on the outside but is nice and modern on the inside
lovely university all the staff iv worked with or been taught by have been extremely helpful and will help as much as they can. great support offered by the university if you are having any difficulties during your time there
good university tho lecturers really good do with improving many just there obviously for the money and not for the students. all other aspects of the uni are great tho and the city is always offering something new
the university is small so is like a family rather than a scary institution and campus is always changing with new gym facitlies, new accommodation buildings and great scenery with the beautiful lake
great place to be, dont hear many people having negative views on the university. some lecturers can be a bit pompous but i think they do have your interests at heart. lovely campus atmosphere too

loved my time at aston, graduated with a job and have met some amazing people who are now my friends for life. great variety with courses and lecturers try their best to keep everyone happy
always something going on to keep students busy, work load is high and sometimes difficult but each person will manage this differently - also great to live so close to a great city and not have to worry about public transport
aston is such an amazing place to be, fantastic staff and students and background staff such as placement teams and kitchen and coffee shop staff who all add to the amazing atmosphere here
