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.
I’m really disappointed with the Students Union for not providing us with a Graduate Ball while every previous year has got one. Since our first year of uni was in lockdown we had no access to SU facilities, it seems unfair to not give us a graduate ball as well for our cohort to celebrate together.
University is very local and has good rating for teaching.
The best part is that progressing through each year for me was very smooth and easy. Difficult problems though stressful at times do eventually get sorted out. Everything is in one area easy to navigate. Hardest part is that you have to be very proactive at uni lectures don’t find you, departments don’t necessarily find you. You have to be aware of what’s going on and figure out who you need to speak to in order to not miss things and get matters sorted.
Library services offer laptops that can be borrowed free of charge for hours with easy access, and provides a timer to show how much time is left until it needs to be returned and you can then borrow another laptop to repeat the process. The worst experience is the hot water in the toilets to wash hands as it can cause burning and itchy feeling which can damage the skin, should provide warm water sinks or have hot and cold taps.
Best aspect is it vast alumni and student support to connect and network with. Nothing seems to be worst, but area is little busy and noisy where university is situated. Again depends on personal preferences. Some may feel it perfect. Looking at education quality and other aspects, its is just as fine.
Students union and available facilities are great, library is convenient and there are lots of areas to study on campus. Also close to the city centre so you'll never get bored. Bad: lecture rooms could be better and safety in the surrounding areas is questionable
I enjoyed meeting new people and exploring what the city of Birmingham has to offer. My worst experience have to come from how expensive life is. Finding a job is nearly impossible
One of the best things about our university in my opinion is how pleasant the campus is and how great the on site accommodation is, It makes me feel really at home when im staying in my accommodation. Birmingham itself is a bit of a mixed bag though, i think its cool being in the city but there are a lot of homeless people around and i also don’t think the city is as exciting as a lot of other places, like there doesn’t really seem much to do around here really and there are a lot of rough areas. I also think astons student union could be a little better, the building itself and everything is amazing but there doesn't seem to be as much clubs and stuff as a lot of other unis I've seen, though to be honest i haven't really looked into it that much. Overall though i really like it here and im happy with my course, i feel like what im learning is relevant and that there is a lot of support available with work, we also have a lot of great facilities too like a really nice library.
On campus I feel very safe and I like the extra security with the accommodation and the fobs
Best is the new experience and meeting new people however the worst is the sudden workload
