It has a great library and classrooms are great and everything is so accessible but it lacks a student life feel and there is little involvement unless you live directly on campus.

I have never felt more supported both in terms of academics and in terms of my mental health needs. The university campus is so small and friendly and it’s so easy to navigate, not to mention beautiful. It’s also such a beautiful abs accessible location. I couldn’t be prouder to be a student here. Fantastic university!
Its friendly and helpful letting you reach your full potential
Best - library / staff Improvements - placement schools are not local enough
BGU is an extremely friendly university which is set in a safe and green location. The support from the lecturers is amazing, they also go above and beyond to help you with anything you need. Lots of societies and free events which means you’ll have an easy time making friends here. I really recommend this university as a great place to both live and study.
What makes BGU such a great place to study is how close and friendly everyone is, you aren't just another face in the crowd. When I lost my hearing during first year, I was bordering on dropping out of my course; BG instead put measures in place to support me and brought me my first set of hearing aids.

Safe environment. Issues with teacher-student communications regarding timetabling
I love BGU because it is so small and has such a community feel. You are a person that everyone knows not just a number. There is so much support and social events that are not based around drinking and the bar as well.

Great learning experience at Bishop Grosseteste University.
It's a small uni so helping is way easier to reach and more direct.

Great social aspect, student bar is inviting and a great place to hang out with friends. Teachers are friendly and welcoming Only downside is the location in order to get the night life or anything like that you have to go down the hill which is a half hr walk
Alot of the course content is taught face to face which is helpful, however we are travelling in from an hr away and some of the lectures/seminars can only last an hr or so meaning it sometimes seems pointless The use of guests and things like that is useful
The fact it is placed right at the top of steep hill is not so good cause all the night life etc is down the hill there are only really some supermarkets up the hill everything else is down
