Birmingham is the city to be in and aston is the university for you if you come to this city where there is lots to do as well as learn how to better your future with a great degree from a great university
Aston is a fantastic university for both young students living on campus and wanting to enjoy the university lifestyle and the older students who just want to get a good degree and make a better future for themselves
Aston is brilliant with a great atmosphere on campus and in the main university building. The layout is a bit difficult to get used to but once you get used to your timetable it is easy to navigate
The night life in Birmingham is second to none and has enhanced the university experience, although making lectures some mornings can prove difficult and thats why its great that aston record them for you to catch up on
This university offers a great deal of things to do, theres various events which can be attended both on and off campus as well as sporting facilities all throughout the campus to give you lots to keep you busy
aston is a great place to meet new people, learn new skills, have fun and most of all complete a three or four year course with a fantastic degree which has a great chance of bringing a career with it
accommodation expense is probably one of the downfalls to the university but the cost of living is relatively cheap so it all balances itself out and the university is great overall
great place to be, love the social aspect of everything here with the RAG week being a particular favourite and the lectures aren't as bad or scary as some would make you think
great university, has proved to be everything I was expecting only thing I wish would improve is the freshers week as it would be good to see some big djs or acts here like at other universities
great place to be does have some faults such as the students union not being the best and the city can feel a little unsafe if you are walking around yourself at night... so don't!
great place to be though is lacking in some areas - could really do with modernising the look of some of the lecture halls to be in the same standard as the newer ones and improve some lecturers
does need to make some improvements with a few of the services that are offered but all in all the university is a nice one to be in and it does seem to have to offer great opportunities for life after uni
fantastic university where I have enjoyed the best years of my life with great friends, great social life oh and some university work thrown in there too as of course that's what we are here for
aston university offers students the opportunity to become really successful in whatever field of work it is they want to specialise in...if you want to do well you will here
great place to be and great opportunities to network and meet important business men and women and even have the opportunity through some modules to work or meet some of the Uk's best companies
fantastic place to be the new accommodation is beautiful, so new and modern and really adds to the look of the beautiful campus where you are close to everything
such an amazing university, many societies and clubs to join which can really enhance your experience and can gain you social skills that you just cant get in lectures
needs some improvement to dealing with exam complaints and should monitor exams closer as sometimes the modules and the exams don't align causing worry and panic
great university to be a student at and get possibilities for future advancements which was the reason for coming here in the first place as the careers service is fantastic


This university has made me feel so welcome since i started here. I have made great friends, joined some societies and made a real start at looking at my career options once university it over
Friendly atmosphere Everything you need is nearby
Opportunity to gain new skills
Great accommodation but very expensive
