Best aspect is quality of information given. Satisfied!
There is always help & additional support regarding the individual student, which gives everyone the same chance in succeeding
The tutors on my course are friendly and helpful, and seem to have a good understanding of my needs. Many of the problems I encounter are self-inflicted through factors relating to my attitude to learning, however, I often struggle with communication which doesn't receive as much support outside of my course environment.
Really supportive staff
My experience throughout the whole year has been a good one. I don’t really have a bad one. The only thing they should approve on is transportation for student who isn’t driving to get to their destination on time
The campus is small and friendly and the staff are very supportive, you feel like an individual rather than just a number here.
I have had some amazing experiences with specific tutors and the support they offer, the guidance on the most part is very good, especially from Conan! And I also received small amounts of food vouchers when I was homeless, which helped me out a lot. There's options for financial support for students in exceptional circumstances, and support for those with learning difficulties, mental and physical health for the most part, however I have experienced a lot of issues as well specifically with the course leader and the student union. I have reported issues of classmates making jokes about my assault and rape to my face and behind my back, who are student reps, of which I was told this is acceptable behaviour for student representatives. My course leader has also been extremely dismissive and threatening towards my health despite my LSS, telling me if I leave class early to take my medication he will fail me.

the community is inclusive and diverse
Easy to seek support Good library system Improvements on academic feedback
Great facilities and equipment with some good shops Shops are a little expensive for students and some student support and lecturers are difficult to deal with
I love the university, I can't find a fault with it. Everyone is super supportive and helpful. I love what I'm learning and love being at the uni, feels like my second home. One of the only few places I feel comfortable and safe.

As a smaller university, you seem to create more of a close knit relationship amongst other students and lecturers which is very helpful, although I feel getting actual student support when you feel most vulnerable is rather difficult and long winded.
They are completely committed to LGBTQ inclusion. One of the Union Cafe’s is head to toe in pride flags and has a gender neutral bathroom, my friends and I appreciated that so much! The Staff are excellent across the board from the teachers to the maintenance crew. Security is good which makes me feel protected since you’ll run into security patrolling late at night, they are always friendly. A downside is the fact it is in Stoke which can’t be helped, although the campus is the nicest and safest part of the area. Overall, Staffs is really nice, I was talking to my friends and we realised that this is the first time where we are actually proud to be here compared to the dystopia of our earlier education, it’s a great place.
Great practical facilities. Could do with consistent academic support. More mental health trained lecturers.
Best aspects are the sports teams. The are really good for social bonding, making mates and keeping active whilst be able to travel and see other universities around the country to compete against. Staffordshire University is the situated in the Midlands you have more convenience to do. Worst aspect is not really having much else to do for fun except drink alcohol. Stoke is just pubs and clubs and doesn't offer any good entertainment for students.
I transferred from the London to Stoke campus and was glad to do so as since I've moved, I have received a lot more support regarding my academic studies. I was worried that the location would make it difficult to find things to do but there is a lot of on-campus events, such as karaoke and the vintage fair. There are a lot of places to study and have found studying in the beacon building or the catalyst helps a lot to get focused. I have had help from the student support during my time at the Stoke campus and they have been really helpful. I also like that my accommodation is a 10-15 minute walk away from campus. Think the improvements need to be made to the communication. One of our rooms was out of use due to the weather and we only found out 5 minutes before our class that we had to be relocated. Communication was worse in the past I found at the London campus but I would definitely say it's somewhat better at the Stoke campus.

Trying to organise myself on busy weeks and makeing sure i have food in my fridge as k get so busy i forget to eat and buy food
All the staff are very approachable and friendly. Always happy to help when they can.. With regards to the university facilities, all really good except could do with another hot drinks counter as you find at break times/lunchtime the queues are that long sometimes you just can't be bothered to wait.
