There where up's and down's for sure. I don't think this Uni was the right one for me, Falmouth is far to isolated and quiet (and I'm an Introvert so I usually like that) The societies did nothing for me as they weren't run well enough, the teaching was alright, I just didn't feel I learn't anything I couldn't have learn't online for free. However, this is just my experience, I know many people who love it there. The enjoyment of the Uni comes from the people you are around, and a love for what you are studying, I lacked that, so my opinion of the Uni is influenced by these negative experiences.
Job Prospects
How does your uni make efforts to increase your employability (careers department, work placements, transferable skills)?
They don't, you're better off trying indeed.
Course and Lecturers
What do you like most and least about the way your course(s) are taught?
I liked the facilities, the lecture rooms, software and everything was top notch. The lecturers where also passionate, which showed in their teaching. The lecturers sometimes favoured other students, and didn't really give comprehensive feedback, it was very impersonal at times.
How many contact hours per week do you have?
12
Students' Union
What do you think of your Students' Union? If you don't get involved, why not?
The student's Union was alright, they definitely made and effort, there were loads of ways to get involved. Some of the societies lacked cohesion, but that's not really the Unions fault.
Accommodation
If you live in university halls or private housing, what is your accommodation like?
The accommodation was pretty good, good sized room and bed. The flat was nice too.
Uni Facilities
How good are your university’s facilities?
The Uni is small, but the facilities are good, the library is awesome, it's just always full so you're unlikely to get a spot unless you get there early. All the information you need is there. The software and tech in the film school are industry standard and great. I just have an issue with the sports facilities, the Uni does not own a sports field or pool, you will need to go off campus for these. This means sport at this Uni is not very good at all.
City Life
What’s the city life like?
It's not very good, you will get bored unless you make your own fun. Falmouth is beautiful, and if you like sleepy little towns, perhaps this place is for you. But you will get bored if you enjoy the buzz of Town or City life.
Clubs and Societies
What are the clubs and societies like?
I found that is was very dependent on the people and society you join for the quality. Sports societies weren't that great for me because of the lack of good sports facilities on campus (Besides the gym and sports hall), but, like I said, it was also dependent on the people. The others societies ranged from okay to awful. None of them were that great so I ended up just giving up on joining anything after that.
Student Support
How good is the support offered by the uni? Think both academic (tutors/feedback) and personal (counselling, etc).
Not very good, feedback was impersonal, and I didn't feel I learn't much from it. I also felt as much as the Tutors where passionate about their subject, they didn't really care about the students as much as their our research. Counselling is far oversubscribed, I needed to outsource my counselling service in Truro because the on-site help was so poor. They say they over all these services to draw you in, but the quality is abysmal, and so many students suffer because they don't get the help they need from the Uni.
