Unfortunately High Wycombe offers students nothing at all in the way of nice bars although there are plenty of nice places to get food such as zizzis, pizza express and nandos. Bucks new uni has a good library and I can usually access a computer when I require to do so. The library feels a bit spread out in terms of student workspaces there are a few desks dotted here and there I would prefer it if there was a bigger communal space to feed off everyone’s creative energies!

I live with my parents just outside of High Wycombe and came to this university to study social work because it was convenient and has a good teaching reputation. However I do regret my decision as I think I want more of a city life and should have moved somewhere larger and new. I find there is very little to do here apart from shop or go to the cinema and when you’re a poor student you cannot afford to do that too much!

As my course is brand spanking new it has had some teething problems and is still continuing to grow and work itself out. The students union and the available societies have really made this university experience here as I have now been able to compete as a cheerleader, dancer and do many other dance based things. I have loved my years here and everyone who has been a part of it. It is so lovely here. I find everyone very friendly and being surrounded by positivity is always good.

I graduate in a couple of months and cannot believe how fast my years at Bucks have flown. It feels like yesterday that I was terrified to move into halls and meet new friends but actually it is the best decision that I have made and it has really pushed me in my learning and as a person. I can now cook clean and even make my own bed!! All good life skills I must say! I think I have matured as a student and learnt a lot academically.

Some accommodation at Bucks is better than others. I would suggest you look around and get a good idea of what is available before you select one. When moving in with other people who you count as ‘strangers’ then you need to give everyone a chance. Every opportunity that comes up to do something social with your flatmates from cooking dinner to going out, take it! It is important to get to know your flatmates as they may become great friends and even your new housemates for 2nd/3rd year.

My advice is for new students to make sure you know exactly what your modules entail before committing to three years and the assignments that will take place. Try your best to be organised and have your first year accommodation all sorted out before you arrive. Make full use of all of the clubs and societies. Get involved with stuff outside of your course it gives you a break from work and you form new friendships too which is nice to hear about other people’s courses etc.

To sum up my time here at Bucks new university I would describe it to be ‘excellent’. I feel that I have learnt a lot studying social work and actually feel quite prepared for the industry once I graduate. Accommodation in first year was good and a brilliant way to make friends. I think it is important to take advantage of all the opportunities you get socially and academically. Enjoy your time and have no regrets. Good luck and remember to be yourself.

I enjoy uni here thoroughly. The classes here are very educational whilst still being interesting and have really opened my eyes to my abilities. The most important advice that I would give to a new student wanting to come here would be to focus on your studies but do not let them drag you down! Still try your best to enjoy yourself and be social. Do not push yourself to a point where it becomes unenjoyable because you will get too stressed.

From the start until the near end living at university has made it much easier to study and to have a better social life. My time here has gone very fast and I have enjoyed it all. Stress is kicking in for my final year but I would recommend Bucks. Just be sure at any university that the course is the one for you and the rest falls into place. In terms of the students union there are a range of activities and club nights themed to suit everyone’s different interests which really appeals to me.

I have NOTHING good to say about this university. The halls were disgusting! Brook Street looked like a prison and the rest of them were overpriced! The letting agents are crooks! WARNING DO NOT TRUST CHILTERN HILLS AGENTS. The houses here are a disgrace. The people here are vile unintelligent chavs and look like they've been dragged through the bush backwards. The same goes for most of the students that decide to go here, most of them only went here because they didn't get the right grades or chose to go here because it's not difficult to get in. I only chose to go here because it was one of the few Unis that did my course. Fortunately it was after my first year I was given the option to change universities but stupidly chose not to. I found I was learning EXACTLY the same things I was taught at college! It's an absolute joke! There is nothing to do out here. Seriously. It's not built for students. I am now leaving this terrible place as I cannot stand to be here for one more moment.
