Lectures always have the information I need

Don’t recommend to anyone

The teachers are nice and patient. There are a lot of computers available in the campus.

It’s so easy to use and accessible with any schedule! The interface is very easy to use but it also has lots of instructions. Anyone can learn to use it and learn no matter what your schedules are.

In First year I didn’t feel there was enough classes and lecturers on day to day. But the second year offers more and the studio is a nice place to work. Theres plenty of opportunities to speak to lecturers about your work. And interesting lecturers every week.

There was a member of staff onsite 24/7 and it did feel safe. It was well looked after and easy to get help with anything that needed fixing. But all the rooms are very expensive for the small size of most them. It’s about a 20 minute walk to campus and 15 into town.

As mentioned previously, the only thing that could use some work is the way the lectures are delivered. Sometimes I felt like my tutors weren't that engaged with the content they were supposed to introduce us to.

all in-person learning, with studio open all day, every day (though shorter hours on the weekend) great contact with tutors, with dedicated timetabled slots and open to talk anytime. a wide range of outside lectures to enhance learning.

Very expensive, good location to town and beach. feel cut-off from campus. nice amenities and good sized rooms

Positives: great support from lecturers, good use of tutorial times, facilities are excellent Negatives: not enough employability content in the course, things like group projects needed better execution

Positives: lovely and relaxing location, lots of events in town, good range of food and drink places, lots of cafes to sit and study in, its small so easier to make friends and go explore Negatives: quite isolated from rest of country, there isn’t as much to do when it’s not term time due to it being a very small student town, can be quite expensive

Positives: good and convenient location, value for money wasn’t too bad, great way to make friends in first year, management were actually quite friendly Negatives: security wasn’t very good as it was open in the middle of town, some facilities would break often, felt a little bit run down

An amazing aspect of my course is that we are provided with a large amount of fieldtrips to attend, as well as working frequently with the Eden Project. The combination of these two aspects allow for much better real-world skills and knowledge. It is also helping us to make connections with employers early on.

Overall during my experiene at the Sidings in my first year of study, I did feel safe and secure, however, like most halls mine were not the most well kept. Upon moving in it was apparent that parts of my room were very mouldy and damp. They did not do much about it other than tell me to air my room, however, it was already beyond the point of being able to air to remove dampness. I ended up getting the supplies to remove the mould myself. Despite this, once dealing with the inital mould problems I did not have any further issues. Small things like my door getting stuck were swiftly dealt with by the accomodation team, who noted and dealt with maintanence quickly. The wifi was really good, all rooms had ethernet availability and it is included with rent prices. In terms of location the university is a 20 minute walk away, most up steps so not the most accessible to those with accessibility needs. There is a more flat/accessibility friendly route to the uni but takes about 35 minutes overall. The bus stop is right outside and it takes 5 minutes to reach campus. Plus, the Sidings is the only accomodation which is RIGHT next to the train station so is a really good accomodation for those who need to travel up country frequently. There is also a beryl bike rank right outside for those who wish to use it. I opted for mixed halls, so I had an equal split of boys and girls, three and three and the communal spaces were large enough to accomodate us all fairly.

My teachers are helpful especially with linking the topic to opportunities outside of the classroom. Volunteering opportunities and such as always being presented in class to help extend our learning. I don't have many bad experiences with teaching except for sometimes when a teacher just reads off the board or doesn't know how the content relates to the assessment. If they can't help me with the assessment then how are they of use to me.

It's small and doesn't attract a lot of attention/noise in certain places. Beautiful scenery close by. It's small and doesn't have as much to offer entertainment wise as other bigger cities might have. Jobs are difficult to get as so many people are applying for similar things and public transport can only take you so far.

Glasney is in a prime location as it is close to the train station, next to multiple bus stops and on campus so it's close to class. Living there was warm and if I had issues I could get to fixed so I would recommend for first time students. The shared rooms are quite tight, especially if you are someone who has more 'things' than the average person.

The course is taught both a blend of online lectures and in class workshops, which I think works brilliant and all of the resources we go through in the lectures are freely available for us to use at any time- which is extremely useful for getting work done in free time. The course hours aren't too intense so a lot of the time work will have to be done in your own time, but that makes it extremely flexible too.

The halls have a few problems which is to be expected with so many people moving in and out every year and coming and going all day. In my opinion glasney is the best, for location and ties with sidings on the amout of problems there are with the buildings. If there ever are any problems though, you can just go up to the lodge and report it. Sometimes it'll take them a few months, sometimes they'll forget but they're busy people and we all do. If it ever is an actual danger, make sure they know it and they'll be on it much faster.
