Everyone is very friendly, lots of support and relaxed atmosphere. The options for food are very limited.

Worse is housing always needing maintenance Good student work opportunities and Chaplincy
The canteen could be improved
Individual support for students, speak to students in person
Great!
It’s okay but the food in the shop is too expensive for students and food on campus isn’t healthy enough which is annoying as it’s a sport related uni !
Best- good sport facilities and social
Facilities are immaculate !
Best experiences is the student support provided, no bad words to say to be honest

I love the overall close community feel of the University campus. One thing I think that could be improved is the communications with the Student Support.
My course is amazing, the lecturers are friendly and the layout of the course is amazing. Poor accommodation on site and very little help from well being
The university is very supportive and there is a real community feel! It does have some issues with accommodation (our heating and wifi are dodgy) but other than that it’s a great university!
Comfort and the ability to fall back on someone when you start to fall
Great campus family vibes
The best part of my uni experience so far is that it has made me develop my confidence in living alone. It also makes it a great place to study as there are many places where you can study and do assignments in quiet places without getting distracted
I think that my best experience of uni at uni is that it has helped me to be a more confident person in being able to talk to new people. And making new friends.
Lots of facilities available to us especially in the sports centre. Site is very clean and green making a great environment to learn.
The campus has great facilities and everything you need is right at hand such as a shop, canteen, Starbucks, Costa and all the sports facilities. Marjon has a variety of great facilities that students are able to access most of the time like the cinema room, games room, astro, tennis courts and sports halls. There is an ok night life with buses to Pryzm every Wednesday to celebrate after BUCS. The Uni is on the outside of town which is nice when you are looking for something quieter. It is close to the moors which is good for an evening or weekend walk. Although it is further from town there is a bus stop right outside campus with buses that run regularly to the Barbican and town.
Student union needs improving


The lecturers here are the highlight of my uni experience. They are always there to help and support us with any questions and struggles, and they genuinely want us to do well and go onto be successful. The only downside is the location because of where I live, it takes a while to get in but that can’t be helped. It might be a good move to live on campus though.
We aren’t actually at uni a lot and the contact hours are relatively low but this is made up for by our lecturers always being available by email for support.
