very enjoyable placement, some lectures feel irrelevant, good resources for course and easy to access resources

many people in 1 house, hard to keep clean

We do not have much tutor time, i would have appreciated more support if it was available. the lectures and seminars vary depending on the teacher but for the most part are good. at some points the content can be quite daunting , especially having to study a few books a week

I liked taly north, the room was nice and its great that it has an ensuite. The location was not ideal, quite a long walk to lectures espeially if they are further in town.

Some lecturers are better than others but overall the course provides all of the resources to learn and excel.

The great accommodation provides a base for making amazing memories to last a lifetime. Staying at Talybont Gate made the transition into university easy and enjoyable.

Sometimes hard to understand lecturers due to them going too fast or not understanding what they are saying

They are tiny and feels like a prison but other than that are manageable

Studying English Literature and Creative Writing has been very eye-opening. This semester I have been studying Screenwriting which I have very much enjoyed. Whilst the limited contact hours can occasionally feel rather rushed, the content for my Literature modules have also been extremely interesting.

Staying in Colum Hall in first year definitely created some life-long memories. The location itself, being directly on Colum Road, can lead to loud noises and sleepless nights however.

Good number of contact hours,.

The structure of my course is amazing, I feel I really have learnt quite a lot so far, even when remote learning was a greater focus. It feels as though the workload is quite heavy, but it is manageable. The only slightly disappointing programme is personal tutoring, I expected them to be more of a help than they currently are!

Every thing was so great about Tally Court, the perfect university halls for me, I was most grateful for the large workspace that was available in that room!

I think my third year has been the best year and I really feel like my lecturers this year truly care about my future and want me to succeed. In previous years, however, this has not been the case so universally over all the modules I took.

The location was awful, I broke my leg first year and couldn’t walk to lectures so had to get Ubers everyday. The best part about where I lived were the people I lived with.

My lecturers for second year were not satisfactory. I did have a few excellent ones but on the whole, I was disappointed. Thankfully, through the help of my peers, I was able to process the information sprayed our way and pass the year. I have not seen or heard from my tutor since halfway through first year but I don't think this is terribly important. I think having tutor meetings was more to help us settle in.

I loved my first year accommodation. I stayed in Cartwright Court. It was a considerable distance from my lecture halls, resulting in a 30 minute walk every morning. However, it was a very tight-knit community due to the relatively small number of resident students. The Wi-Fi was not great, it would occasionally stop working for a couple of hours and certain security restrictions imposed by the public network prevented me from accessing certain services such as particular online video games.

Good
