Facilities
(5)
How good are your college's facilities?
The uni facilities are amazing. They're all pretty new too, and they're pretty extensive. Ceramics, 3d, textiles, print, photography, plastics, small metals etc. And studio space is decent for most students. Very happy.
Student support
(5)
How good is the support offered by the college? Think both academic (tutors/feedback) and personal (counselling, etc).
The student support is very good. There's always someone there to help if you need it, and there are services to support your learning too.
Students' union
(3)
What do you think of your Students' Union in terms of student representation and facilities?
The student union doesn't really exist yet, as the uni is still developing. The student ambassador is on it though, and we do have pub crawls and fairs and other stuff arranged.
Local life
(5)
Is your university in a good location in terms of distance to accommodation and local amenities?
I'm a country girl, so coming here was a bit eye opening. There are lots of pubs and clubs in Hereford, as well as a new shopping centre and loads of other shops, and the cathedral is beautiful. There are parks and rivers too, so you can get best of both worlds.
Societies and Sports
(2)
How would you rate the variety of societies/sports?
Much like the student union, it's still in progress. Right now we have Horticultural society, Christian union and Dungeons and Dragons.
Lecturers and teaching quality
(5)
What do you like most and least about the way your course(s) are taught?
Couldn't ask for better lecturers. I have had a great experience with them. They're enthusiastic, challenging and overall great.
Career prospects
(3)
How does your college make efforts to increase your employability (careers department, work placements, transferable skills)?
I honestly don't know about jobs. As a fine artist I don't think it'll be the easiest part of my life. It's going to take work but uni is preparing me very well for that.
University halls
(3)
What do you think about the safety, condition, location and cost of your accommodation?
Currently the accommodation is private or arranged by the RNC. There are halls let out to students, which are pretty cheap and very good considering. I'm happy with them so far. Can't really complain. Decent size rooms, kitchens, free washing facilities and big common room.
