Best: it’s it in a great location and offers a range of things to give you the most out of university life (e.g. really good study abroad opportunities, inclusive sports/societies for every interest) Worst: nicer library
Some of the buildings could use a hose down and student union is bad at following through with room prep or bookings for societies leading many to have to reschedule.
The vibe around the university is very welcoming and there is a lot of support. The seats in some of the lecture/seminar rooms are rather uncomfortable
Most professors and other students are welcoming and friendly, the campus is easy to get around, and there is a focus on accessibility and sustainability.
I like the universitiy's inclusion, events, and sports Central. I don't particularly like the lack of discipline within the teaching staff.
It would be better with more stuff in the students' union, like events at Luther’s and stuff like that. Nice atmosphere, and people are great.
Love being a student, its hard sometimes but will all be worth it in the end.

The positive thing about it is the staff are all really supportive and engaged with ensuring we are all supported in every aspect. The negative is the mental health team are so incredibly patronising and unhelpful and despite me saying countless times I need long term support and not just a session every two weeks for a 6 session period I had two sessions and was dismissed as I had a good week.
Very good when struggling with mental health, offer lots of support for students.
Course has been great, plenty of support has been given. I personally have struggled making friends but there are opportunities in general socialise

The staff are incredible, unbelievably understanding and supportive. They want you to succeed and you can really tell. However, Lipman building is constantly broken. The top two floors have been out of service for year and now the entire building is out of commission and not expected to be back until the summer. Surely at this point just demolish the place.
A well maintained and beautiful place to study
Library is the best.
I love my uni.
Art facilities are really good, ceramics studio could be improved my having glazes.
