The best thing about the university is the environment. All staff and fellow students are super friendly and welcoming. The facilities at the uni are also amazing, having councillors and student advice
The university has a very nice feel to it since it is smaller, this makes it alot more comfortable feel more personal than a larger university. There really isn't much to criticise about the university, it has very nice staff, good facilities and a very independent and helpful student union. Though maybe one small area is that sometimes there isn't much to do in the day on campus.
The tutors are amazing and really helpful even with non uni related issues
BGU is a great place to study as it is a small university therefore your seminars have around 15 people in them which means the lectures know your name, you make friends really easily and you have continuous support as you will spend the next 3 years with these people. The facilities are great and unlike most universities, BGU has a building dedicated to supporting students, whether that is how to create a presentation or checking the grammar on your assignment work. The only thing that could be improved at BGU is the student union, it is small so opening the space up and adding another bar would be beneficial.
I love the small and close knit feel of campus and how kind and supportive the members of the students union are. I love the facilities on campus and feel that these make campus feel homely. The lecturers and support staff work hard to ensure you are having a good uni experience and are there to support you when you need with your best interests at heart. The library has everything you could need and staff are kind and helpful. Sometimes lecturers can be hard to reach via email dependent on what subject you take however overall this has not caused too many problems.
I like the family feel of the university and how you are always able to get help if you need it. The thing I would say that could be improved is communication between lecturers in some departments.
the best part is my actual course- the lecturers and people on my course are amazing and we all help eachotjer due to the classes being small so the support and friendships made are amazing the worst part for me and possibly for others is the finance - because we’re not in the centre, transport does add up and just the finance of accommodation, but i know that’s different for everyone just in person experience that’s the worst part so i have to work alongside my course to earn enough to be able to keep me going
Bg is such a supportive environment. I have received so much help during my years of study here from CELT, student advice, bg futures, my primary Ed tutors and my society I am apart off!
Large sports facilities 24 hour library Quiet places to work Friendly staff
The university has a welcoming and community feel where there is always someone to help. Being in Lincoln is a very friendly city and it has exciting student life
The University life in Lincoln is exciting and fulfilling. The university itself is inclusive and diverse, allowing students expression and giving support,
The CELT is absolutely amazing! Massively supportive to students and offer skills like IT, writing support and a warm place to study. The uni is however slightly rundown and could do with some modernisations to improve accessibility for disabled students.
The community within the university is incredible. There aren’t many things I would suggest in order to improve the university.
The campus is small and open so the community are allowed in
The people are friendly, and the amount of support offered is incredible
The uni is really good at helping all the students feel safe and welcome! They have helped with any academic questions I have had really fast thanks to CELT and the course program leaders. Its been a really nice transition from sixthform to uni life.
I chose this university as I preferred it to the Lincoln university, this is because it seemed more like a community and the campus felt more welcoming. An improvement to make for the university would be for them to improve the university gym.
Best aspects - Small university so you feel the teaching is specialised. Feels like everyone cares about you and supports you. Worst aspects - Not much student life due to location.
4.4
The support you receive from staff around the university goes above and beyond! The education part of this university is far better than I ever anticipated it to be, it more the student life/ facilities on offer while not studying. There is very little going on in the evenings, other than a few events at the union every so often, however the turn out isn’t very great so it doesn’t really sell itself. However, unis more than I could’ve ever dreamed and it’s thanks to bishop why so far I’ve had the most wonderful experience.
All aspects of the course so far has been taught in person. In the larger groups the seminars have been split to allow more tailored teaching which is the best! The lectures are always available to speak to whether online , over email or in person they will do their very best to offer and support with anything or direct you to the right people.
Although this accommodation may appear to be on the more basic side it has everything that you need in it! Having an en-suite is so worth paying the extra money for so that you have your own space for everything. Having the communal kitchen/ living area is great for getting to know and socialising with your flatmates. The space is big enough for us to spend time together as a flag of six, even to allow us all to have meals together. It definitely encourages you to get out of your room and have some downtime with your flatmates who you can now consider your friends because of the amount of time spent together.
