Great teaching
Close to where I live Easier to study

Tutors are really friendly and make us feel comfortable at class as an international student.. Improvement on food service like providing student with free hot drinks as in coffee, or just hot water..
All the tutors are amazing and can't give you enough time
Multi cultural, Staff are nice and helpful
On campus life and Leicester as a whole, I unfortunately can't say that Leicester is a safe place for students. Sexual and homophobic/transphobic harassment and threats is extremely common here as I have experienced this personally and heard many stories of this from students here who have almost been attacked and when reported (including to police and uni) nothing is done about it and the victim is blamed, I was told to move accommodation if I did not want to experience this, which makes no sense as wherever you are around the uni this will still happen. I know many feel extremely unsafe around the campus because of this and the blind eye turned to it by uni and police. Overall, Leicester really is not a safe or nice city to be in and at this point I definitely wish I had chosen from my other uni options. The "support" that the uni offers is generally very unsympathetic and vague. Feeling that I was being sent around in circles and basically being told to figure out things for myself. Unfortunately bullying is also an issue as I have overheard conversations in class of students harassing a girl for being suicidal and also a mature student for being "old" at only 21. This type of harassment I have overheard multiple times and seems to happen online also, one student on this course sent very abusive personal messages to me online through meeting through the group server targeting me for my personal life situation, the server is one that is officially supported through the uni. Because of this, I have decided to change courses. Ideally, I would change universities because sadly after this year I can't recommend DMU despite very much looking forward to studying here. I do not think its fair to charge students the already extortionate amount of money for an education that feels like a complete waste of time, effort and money.

The campus is located near the city centre, two parks and a river. It is full of greenery and everything you need is right aroud the corner. It's very international environment. People are welcoming and and open. The library is very well stocked, have some roomms you can rent out, have grafic tablets, printers and scaners to your disposal and is open till late at night.

Fellow uni students are not ambitious, and it can be vey discouraging when there's not many ambitious students in my program that I've noticed. The look and feel of the university is not too motivating either. I do like that some of the lecturers have great industry experience and we've had some fun projects in seminars and for assignments.
Great facilities, the teachers are supportive and aproachable and has lots of activities
