Students union is better and more supportive than other universities (anecdotally) Student support from the course leaders/lecturers could be improved
The lecturers are so good at what they do and make you feel passionate about your course.
There is a variety of amendments both on and off campus that are great for studying in, for example the university Library of the various cafes around the town. The university is close to the high street yet also feels like it’s not that close so you don’t get all the foot traffic. The location itself is in a great place with a variety of supermarkets and other stores close by. The only thing I would change is the WiFi and the attendance. Sometimes the attendance codes don’t work and it’s a hassle to sort them out with lectures, as well as the WiFi being very hit and miss and sometimes not working.
The best part of my university experience has been the opportunity to challenge myself academically and grow independently, learning to manage my time and priorities while exploring subjects I’m genuinely interested in. The worst aspect has been occasional poor communication from the university, particularly around administrative matters, and the stress of balancing deadlines and assessments, which sometimes made the experience feel overwhelming.
The city is great, its a bit small but its walkable and affordable with a good range of nightlife. The campus is easy to navigate but in some places is very stairs heavy, when lifts break they are replaced quickly, however these are often busy so it may be harder for someone with limited mobility to get places on time.
Most of the issues I've had so far haven't been to do with the Uni or institution itself. For instance, travelling and socialisation.
Good
Very good location friendly people. Always happy to help.


I've really enjoyed developing myself as a performer and with my understanding of musical theatre. I personally find the general creative arts units that are shared less engaging BT still useful
I like the amount of tutor accessibility
