Sort:Latest reviewsbest aspects are the lectures and the on campus activities available. worst aspects are the 9am starts.
Best aspect of uni is the library and the business school. Both facilities make studying a lot easier. Something that could be improved would be the upcoming strikes. The 18 days of strikes will heavily affect my studies.
I dislike the London Road Campus as it is far from my accommodation, but enjoy my course
The Henley business school is the best aspect of the university experience. The worst may be that some of the he other buildings are not as modern or as nice as the business school and most of the designated business modules’ lectures are based in these not as nice buildings
Best aspects: The campus is lovely with amazing green spaces and wild life. The staff in my department are lovely and incredibly friendly and approachable. They have helped me greatly with all aspects of student life- academic support, disability support on my archaeological dig (particularly enabled fieldwork), personal concerns and more. There are also amazing opportunities on campus such as campus jobs and volunteering in the museum. There are many amazing societies that are all really fun to try out. The atmosphere on campus is very friendly and welcoming. The student support outside my department is also really friendly and helpful. I love how close the uni is to London and Oxford whilst feeling like it is in the countryside due to its amazing lake. What the university could improve: The university timetable often has some problems with not placing students in their department buildings which would be nicer as it would be more engaging to study in your department building.
Really nice environment, spacious and always room to study. Could be improved by increasing communication between students and teachers.
Everyone at the university is so warm and welcoming, from the students to the staff. It really makes me enjoy my time at university. The campus is also so beautiful. It is so green and filled with nature.
It’s a very diverse university which makes it great.
More financial support and study spaces needed
I really like the campus and the wide range/frequency of student events etc. The welfare provided is also quite good, but I would appreciate a follow up after having accessed their services One aspect that could be improved is the provision of exam dates - they could be release earlier than April to help us plan our revision timetable
Larger places for non catered people to eat. Like a subway etc
Be more accessible to commuters
Love the facilities and staff. I feel happy and comfortable here. Would strongly recommend
The facilities available to me as a business school student allow me access to a huge array of study spaces and information. The business library, the main university library, cafes and RUSU. This allows me to maintain concentration each day and to work in quieter or busier spaces, depending on how I am feeling and what I am up to. This helps me to produce what I perceive o be higher quality work. I had started by working in my room and spending a lot of time alone in 1st year, this made me unproductive and easily distracted by my phone or others. On of the largest buildings is Edith Morley, it is becoming run down and does not feel as comfortable to work as other spaces and lecture halls on campus. It is a maze to find your way around.
Having back to back lecture s
The best thing is that you automatically feel a part of a supportive community. The worst is timetabling can sometimes stop you from picking modules you want to be on- but that is a minor issue which I have no complaints about as the year goes on
Not sure
Best aspect is Wednesday union
University is constantly striking which leaves students to struggle through their assignments with no help from the lecturers. Facilities are good though but the modules barely utilise this and barely gives you the foundation of theatre such as detailed lighting workshops as well as learning how to make set.
