It is a small campus which makes students not feel overwhelmed. Also allows staff to be able to help everyone who needs support and not leave anyone else. Lecturers are very helpful if you need help.
Everything is tight knit there’s such a nice vibe on the campus
Bishop Grosseteste university has been so welcoming to me and all my foundation year friends. The lecturers are so supportive and deliver great lectures. The student support is fantastic. As a mature student i was very apprehensive about returning to education but after being here for only a few months i feel completely at ease and excited for my learning journey. The best aspect of my uni experience so far is the real community feel here, all the staff i have met so far have been so friendly and helpful, they are all really good at their jobs too. I havent got a worst aspect, i love my uni.
It is a great place to study for students especially those who struggle with their studies and the help is right on their doorstep and available at all times. The teachers are willing to help and push you to turn your passion into your dreams. It is a small university however it is located in the heart of Lincoln. The facilities are okay but it would be nice to have a bigger variety of clubs and also for people who live far away, many of the clubs they do have, start in the evening which is sadly unfortunate, it would be nice to have them earlier as it’s nice to meet other people even though you have to make the drive to get there. The course I am studying which is history, is really good and the lectures are great.
I recently started the Foundation Year course at Bishop Grosseteste University, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. The course provides an excellent introduction to university-level study, bridging the gap between previous education and a full degree program.
It’s just really chilled out and the small groups are nice
The support from all staff in the University is extremely comforting. Every tutor knows their students by name which isn’t ofren found in bigger universities. Due to the smaller size, it feels more welcoming and belonging. Student Union is often small when popular events are held. Freshers week events often end up with people sat on floors etc. Some rooms could do with a freshen up to give a cleaner more professional feel when learning. Some classrooms have older style radiators and during the winter months, classrooms and lecture theatre can become extremely cold.
The university is a small campus which is great. Easy to find your way round and a lovely smaller community. The library is amazing and being able to access most online aswell makes studying really easy. Student support has been amazing used by myself and peers nothing is too much. Tutors are always there to help and happy to help as much as they can. Only thing I would say that would need improving would be consideration for students with children and expected workload. It can become very overwhelming.

The support received from lecturers, not just about the work, is amazing.
The best aspect about studying here is the closeness to the shops, as well as the support of the staff, the availability of a 24 hour security at our university accomodation. In addition, meeting new people has been really exciting and being away from home has really made me go outside of my comfort zone, which I'm very grateful for. The course is incredibly interesting, and the support from my Private Tutor has begun to let me see the potential career I could be headed for if I work hard. I don't think there is really much that could be improved, except perhaps the short-notice timetable changes, which can be a bit tricky to get used to at first.
I have found that my univeristy is very supportive with both my academic needs and mental health needs. It is a very welcoming and friendly environment with a great community spitit. All staff on my course are really supportive and know alot about the subject they are teaching. The library has an huge range of materials and is an amazing academic environment. As its a small campus, it is easy to get around quickly and know where everything is!
Small university had really welcoming feeling. Staff are really supportive. Student life not great- quite a walk from the city centre and the uni itself doesn’t do much in terms of nightlife
Small knit campus but could sometimes lack modernity despite its history being important
The best aspect of my uni is definitely how small of a cohort my programme is. Everyone has built bonds and friendships and we have these close relationships with our three lecturers too. The support we get is more than we could ever ask for. The worst aspect is for me and my best friend, is the location. If we could drive there would probably be no complaints. It can just be a nightmare and struggle getting in due to trains + buses. Additionally, sounds silly but the fact we're only in twice a week, we find we work better at uni rather than at home so hard to be motivated at home but also financially costs quite a bit to just be able to travel to use the facilities like the library.

Bishop Grosseteste is a great place to study as there are smaller class sizes meaning that you get one on one sessions with your personal tutor to see how you are getting on. You also have a student union that puts on great evening events for you and other students to enjoy after a day of lectures.
The university is small and friendly the facilities provide students with an engaging comfortable atmosphere to study. Although I personally love the old historical feel of the university I feel as though some buildings could use some modernising as some equipment in older areas of the university is outdated making it difficult to use a range of sources effectively.

Small friendly supportive University, great student support especially the Chaplaincy. SU could cater for mature students better, the President of the SU didn't even believe I was a student when handing out goodybags and wouldn't give me one without following them on Insta, despite advising I wasn't on that particular platform

Great place as I get great support and it’s a beautiful campus. I would have to say however I am unhappy with the name change as I feel thag money can go towards more resources such as books and equipment.
Great loving the course at the moment.
