There are so many best aspects of Bucks New University, such as the facilities, like the library and the textiles/costume workshops, teaching, support of students especially those in difficult circumstances and communal/food spaces. The only aspect of uni experience at Bucks New University that could be better is transportation to/from uni.
Some of the building is quite old and outdated with thin hallways which can be difficult to navigate when during busy periods, it would also be nice if there was more access routes to places so it doesnt become so conjested / hard to access classes as a disabled person, and we also rely on wifi alot to log into/register into our classes which can be quite hard to do/unable to do because of the poor wifi signal but all the teachers and staff are nice
All the free trips and events offered by the Student Union’s ‘Big Deal’ is phenomenal. The town has enough going on, however the transport links into London and Oxford make the days and nights out endless. Lots of help is available to students, and the High Wycombe campus is very nice, lovely cafes and places to relax.
The best aspect of being at this university is just the overall atmosphere and support for student wellbeing and social activities. The freshers events are always so much fun and they help students give a separation from studies and social life. There is no worse aspect about the uni but the only think that lacks is the availability for transport from uni events on all days , not just Wednesdays for the SHH bus

The facilities such as libraries, labs and computer classes,the student support such as counselling , mental health support , academic advices. It is ranked number one for student union. They provide financial aid that's why BNU such a great place. Further improvement I want to see is we international students are teached separately but not with the students here if we are teached together with them I think we might be better in English talking with the native speakers which will be easier.
It's a great place to study because not only are the courses well structured but also the life outside of the university such as societies are amazing
Everyone is very helpful and very nice to talk too
Ok
Best, theres a lot of support in regards of welfare. worse, theres a lot of drama that occurs
It is a remote university so facilities and student life etc are not relevant. Student support however, is also practically none existant.
Educational support is fantastic

Buckinghamshire New University is the best when it comes to fairness, specially dealing with the international students. As an international student studying law at BNU i believe every person needs to be treated equally regardless of their background, race, religion and what not, and i can firmly say that BNU never disappointed me.
I feel like the new spaces which have opened up at the university is refreshing for students to go and do their work or just to even relax. However, for students who are doing more essay-based/coursework related courses, I feel as though the lecturers' should be willing to do more interesting modules (related to you course) by making it more engaging. I know that students have to learn the content of the modules, but it would be nice if this could be done in a more engaging way. Following on from this, I know students need to learn referencing and critical analysis - but we don't get really shown how to do this. I think that there should be in depth classes to show students how to do this in essays/assignments/projects.
