Best experience is the number of activities and worst is the number of assignments
It’s great :)
More directions around campus
The student union bar closes quite early, especially on a Saturday

The free coffee and tea in the cafeteria is a nice gesture as it feels like recognition for the amount of money we pay while strikes and covid have affected our studies, however its not enough and the uni should consider more free things to help with cost of living crisis or more discounts on food drink or travel

Can do better
UWE has shown me that there is so much more to university life than just my degree. I have had the opportunity to go aboard with my course mates to study the architecture of Barcelona, play rugby matches in the BUCS premiership and learnt about how to implement sustainable method to create functional, beautiful , energy efficient buildings. All while living in the city of Bristol.
Best aspects are the friendly and approachable staff at the SU and library. Worst aspect is glenside UWE campus as its facilities are nowhere near as good as frenchay
U.W.E, when properly explored can be known to be a home away from home. It has a sense of community within its community which i find very favourable to me. It is one of the most diverse university i could find when i was searching for university in the U.K. As an international student who has left home, the facilities has given me the latest view on industry work and hopefully will be able to apply my skills in real world problems. I honestly feel that the societies could be greatly improved. The societies especially the past two years have not really been engaging. I understand its not the universities job but the people who run for it, but I feel U.W.E can do something regarding this.

Covid badly affected the university with online learning. Student support can be hard to recieve however when it is accessed the support is good.
I think UWE is a great environment to study in, whether it's the facilities, the programmes offered, the lecturers and staff, I've enjoyed my studies here and have made meaningful memories too! I'm also very grateful for the student support available, such as the Student's Union and Student Life team, the activities/ events/ initiatives they do to ensure that everyone has a great time whilst studying have made up much of my university highlights. The cost of living support by the Student's Union and almost daily social and/or engagement events held by both the Student's Union and Student Life are particularly worth mentioning as well. A shoutout to the campus accommodation, providing great support/ updates, as well as regular maintenance, allowing a comfortable and secure stay too!
