Brilliant
Amazing social events
The best part is the wellbeing and disability support.
The deadlines should not be 12 noon as that is when the students are in lesson, would be good if it was around 6pm as university day has ended
Best living closer and the students. Worst the timetable
I have loved being at the university of Huddersfield. It has a beautiful campus- built over a canal- in a really useful location, in the centre of Huddersfield, a five minute walk from the town centre, and in a location a direct train ride away from multiple major cities in the UK- Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds and York- whilst not being located in a busy city itself, which can be handy as it is less overwhelming and easier to navigate when first moving away from home (and in general!). Additionally, this university really tries for its students- it is a smaller university, it doesn’t have a big Russell-Group name on it, and with all that to say, my experience of this university has been that it puts in effort to accommodate its students, to check that you have the support you need to do the best you can on your course; they come across as an institution that emphasises what they can do to support you, and why YOU may want to study there- rather than making you feel ‘privileged’ to study there, and with an expectation for students to bend to fit the university’s schedule and methods that I’ve felt from visiting some bigger, Russell Group unis. Also, the accommodation options for students in Huddersfield is the best I’ve seen anywhere. All accommodation providers utilise en-suite rooms only- there are no shared kitchens in any of the accommodation options I’ve seen. Rooms can start for as little as £105/Wk which is so much cheaper to alternatives I’ve seen at other unis in the same general area! The university also has its own letting agency- Hudlets- which can is ran by the Student’s Union, so there is a central facility within the university for students to use to help find accommodation- and to ask any and all questions/resolve any and all problems relating to accommodation. This university ultimately doesn’t have quite as many facilities in the student’s union or in different course subjects as you might find in a bigger university- but this tends to be because bigger universities with a Russell Group name get money thrown at them far more than smaller unis simply as a result of their name and/or longer history (even if student satisfaction rates at these unis are some of the lowest). Despite this, Huddersfield still has a very decent amount of facilities within different subject areas for their students to use- and the number of facilities available is growing. For example, EEG, VR labs, a cold pressor and driving simulators are all available to use within the psychology department. There aren’t any insanely high tech neuro imaging scanners such as MRI, yet, but there is a good chance the university will be getting this in the future. The only other possible downside to the uni is that the smaller town-feel of Huddersfield does limit the number of clubs available night-life-wise. Whilst there are some decent places in the town- including Parish, with live music often being played there, and excellent food- it is true that many people will go to Leeds or Manchester for a bigger ‘night-out’ on occasion, as there are more places to go in these bigger cities. Still, these places are reasonably easy to get to from Huddersfield by train!
Absolutely love my university experience so far, wouldn’t choose another university!
The support for students is brilliant as a mature student I feel I have anything I need to succeed however I think there could be better provision for parking, maybe a collaboration with local car parks for discounts for students
The best part of my university experience is that Huddersfield is a very student friendly location making it affordable to enjoy all aspects of university in and out of the classroom. However I have found it difficult seeking confident academic help in my lectures
Good
campuses are far away
Uni is good
Nothing
Best - atmosphere, stuff on at uni, course in general Worst - no really su but spiking on nights out increase, potentially had our safety things weekly on what’s on Wednesday

I like all the societies and opportunities the university offers such as placement years. And the art and humanities buildings is really gorgeous.
I’m in all day everyday but Friday giving me more time to use the sewing machines and try on all the equipments in our building
