Good gym Lecturers are beyond helpful Course is excellent Student life is terrible , student union is appalling , with Wednesday nights being very disappointing . Very expensive and dj is awful . Town of Newport is shocking , no variation for students
The lecturers are amazing and very supportive. The chatting students during lectures is a massive let down and should be stopped even if this means asking them to leave as it’s very disrespectful and disruptive to the students willing to learn.
The lectures are always happy and wanting to help improve students.

The best thing is that they have a great student life as they have many party’s in the SU aswell as the theme nights . They also have an amazing student support team that you can easily contact . The worse part is the location as it’s pretty isolated and if you want to go anywhere you need to have a car . However they do have a campus shuttle bus which goes to Newport which is great . Also the price for the shuttle bus is also great as it’s very affordable
There is great student life opportunities however the su has recently been questioned about where their finances really go
It’s nice to have a stables on campus to allow us to treat and learn hands on. It’s also good that staff are able to bring in there own dogs for us to learn muscles off and practice techniques. The labs have good equipment and we are able to do lots of dissections. To improve the course topics need to be more defined as first year we learnt a lot about small animals which we wouldn’t be dealing with.
More one to one interactions with lecturers and student support is really good. The security on nights out aren’t the best when it comes to what they’re supposed to do and don’t always handle situations in the best way
Cheaper prices
Needs to have better student satisfaction. Bouncers are a huge issue, they don’t make men feel safe and more importantly they take the fun out of a night out. A lot of the university is run down. Price of events is ridiculous
I love the rural area of the campus, it feels like home away from home. The nightlife here is good and I know that being such a small uni that there is lots of support available in student services. Unfortunately the students union can be expensive to get into and doesn’t always cater for the majority of the student body
All staff both teaching and non are always willing to help. Excellent student team and careers advice. Although the SU could do with listening to the majority of students needs rather than just focusing on minority groups as it feels somethings there is somethings not as much support for traditional students from agricultural backgrounds and more focus on newer courses.
The campus, facilities and location of the university is fantastic. Some of the classrooms are a bit dated however and could do with a bit of a re-vamp. There are plenty of socials and societies to get involved in. The Students Union needs to focus more on students than meeting targets.
Remote. A home away from home.

The course is brilliant, the majority of the tutors are excellent and give excellent feedback when marking assignments etc. our timetables are well structured.
The university is a beautiful campus, it is in a rural area and the surrounding villages and towns are lovely. After first year if you cannot drive you will have to car share into the uni or other places, but most people do not find this a problem as everyone on the courses is friendly with one another.
I love how small and friendly the university is, you’re never alone. The location is a bit meh especially being from Scotland as o struggle to find stuff to do over the weekends.
The tutors are amazing, always checking up on you and student support available is great. From personal support to academic support there is always someone available to help. The campus and library is beautiful with some new facilities including labs and the veterinary education centre which improves quality of education provided here. However, this university is a better option for a more quiet experience considering there are only two clubs locally including the student union. Student union entry prices are inflated as are the drink prices and there could be more of a focus on the sports but rugby, hockey and netball are highlighted as most commonly played sports here. Society wise there are plenty to choose from: off roading, equestrian, rowing, brewers society and many more which are always a great experience- i find they are taken quite seriously here but they are definitely a bit of a laugh for a wednesday student night.
This uni is great if you love the countryside, it is based in the middle of nowhere and there aren't many clubs around but student make up for that with weekly clubs and society socials. The facilities are good, with a farm and a companion animal house on campus.

The staff are really lovely and the location is nice for people who enjoy the countryside. There’s a large amount of opportunities to get involved with clubs and optional farm sessions
The staff are lovely and there’s a mix of pre reading stuff online that you do before sessions and there’s lots of physics hands on time with the dogs and horses
The halls are very nice but can be noisy at times but it’s understandable as it is on days where there are events and such happening typically
