The teachers are really helpful and guide us through our assignments. The peer interactions are also enriching and really open up new avenues for thinking. If I had to suggest one improvement, it would be to provide more catered accommodation options especially for international students. That way, it would be an even better experience.
The campus is nice and well equipped, could be better for Coeliac students . The staff have time for the students and are willing to help.
Love how the campus is all in one place away from any busy towns/cities. Easy access to shops on campus. improvement: bus system can be really busy
Good
Great campus, lecturers, and accommodation - the ideal uni experience. Only complaints would be lecture locations can be a bit spread out sometimes, and some lectures happen a bit too late in the evening.
There’s lots of resources and facilities on campus to make student life easier and better. I don’t have a worst aspect
All of the course materials are really easy to access and there is lots of space for studying across campus. It could be improved by treating its staff fairly so that strike action doesn’t impact students’ education.
The uni being campus based is great, especially when you're in first year, it makes it much less daunting to move to university when everything is in one place instead of trying to navigate round a city. Overall I think the uni is great, but I do think its silly to have to pay to park on campus, especially when yes there's lots of buses, but they're always full and often the bus drivers just drive past you. Additionally some unis included a gym membership when you go to uni and I think that would of been nice

The best part of my university experience has definitely been the library. It’s spacious, comfortable, and has dedicated silent study areas, which is ideal for someone like me who gets distracted easily by noise. It really supports focused and productive study. One area that could be improved is the availability of charging points. Adding more power outlets would make the study environment even better.
The best part would be how big it is yet how close things are and how much there is to do. What could be improved is higher scholarships for international students.
The best aspect is that there are a lot of restaurants and shops near where I live.
Best - the people, both staff and students are so helpful and kind Worst - being away from home
It is such a safe place, as a woman I feel like I could walk anywhere in town and be safe which is such a huge plus. The campus is clean and new and has everything so near by. It can be improved by more inter-college competitions.
Very good community, I’ve made loads of friends. As a member of a few sports teams and societies I’ve heard that the student union lusu isn’t great.
Student life feels a bit isolating
18-24 years
The university is so welcoming and supportive. I'm an estranged, queer, disabled student and they've been so incredibly accommodating. Staff and faculty went out of their way to make me feel safe and welcome, as well as supporting my studies when they're troubled by my health issues. The main problem I have is the commute to campus as someone with mobility limitations. The uni could be better looking, but I'd rather they continue to deliver amazing quality than look amazing.
I like the scenery
4.2
My department is great and I love the social life. I like the campus as it's clean and there is a lot of greenery. There is a lot of construction work always happening and certain areas have been closed off for that since last year.
All the professors seem genuinely passionate and enthusiastic, and they are very approachable. My course is as challenging as I would expect and it's really interesting. All of our lectures are in-person and recorded, which is ideal for me. Our seminars are run by the lecturers, which is useful. There aren't many placement opportunities for research in social sciences, which would have been ideal for me.
It was in a decent location and close to where most of my lectures were. We had a cleaner so it was usually clean. The kitchen was very small, as we only had 1 hob and oven for 8 people.
