Teacher and student relationship is great.
for me it is 1h drive but only once a week so it is ok. Notices come very sudden and it feels like it is not consistent either. Facilities are nothing special but they are there and for once a week i do not get to experience student life. I am on apprenticeship so my goal is to get the degree as I am already employed. High Wycombe campus is much closer and much nicer than Uxbridge that is why Uxbridge can't compete.
It's a great place to be in
Some time things are not set up properly and it’s looking like they still not well organised

First gen student
Best aspects is the university is extremely supportive and they have all the resources available when you need them. Worst aspects is that the canteen could possible have a little more variety of food.
The best university for me, students are valued, listened to and given the opportunities to study I would recommend anyone
-Maybe more private study rooms -Space to relax
Peaceful learning environment
I think with the bursaries. Spreading the payments over both semesters would be a bigger help then all in semester 1.
I am currently studying to become a Registered Adult Nurse on an NHS funded apprenticeship. My campus is located in Uxbridge which is 55 miles away from my home/place of work which makes it difficult to travel to. There is no allocated university parking so rely solely on public parking. I am unable to use public transport as I live in a rural village with very limited options. The university provides no flexibility with me when I am commuting in and don't acknowledge that I am travelling up to 4 hours a day to get to and from campus. I use the M1 and the M25, which are two of the busiest roads in the UK. There have been times where I have been scheduled to be in university for 2 hours, and am still required to travel in. I have previously stayed in hotels for the week but this is no longer an option for me financially. I often receive very little support with assignments and am allocated apprentice support by the university, which are often members of staff that don't understand the course I am undertaking and that I am required to work full time alongside my studies and placements. I have been told on numerous occasions that when signing up for this course, I was expected to relieve myself of a social life and that this course should consume 90% of my life for the next 3.5 years. As a 20 year old female, this is not something I would've knowingly signed up for and I think it's unrealistic expectation for a university to hold over me. The one time I reached out to the university's academic support team for assistance with an assignment, I failed. And this is something that other students have experienced. I would not recommend this university for love nor money and feel disappointed that as a member of the public, my taxes are going towards a university apprenticeship course that leaves students overwhelmed, overworked and under supported. I would expect more from a Nursing specialised campus and staff that are nursing trained but there we go.
Essays are the worst
Our lecturers are amazingly supportive
Not organised enough. Staff is very good but not stable. We keep getting new teacher every second week. Communication is bad
I think the student union is great as everything is free and really helps out students that are struggling. I think the accommodation team are a bit difficult to work with as the team doesn't help out the students that well. The lecturers are lovely and they have the best equipment for the course.
It’s great and improvements can always be made, nothings perfect
The staff are great and really understanding of their role and helping students. Can't think of any improvements off the top of my head tbf.
I attend the Aylesbury campus and in comparison to the main campuses it’s very basic due to the newness of it. The location for me however is perfect. The student union is great however it’s less active over in Aylesbury but will always be there over email/teams if needed!
