Good facilities.

It's near to shops and bars.
The uni is very small, but definitely feels like home.
I love u guys.
The support, The technology here is amazing.
A good environment, friendly people, Nice atmosphere.
I love the placement, the students are nice, and I would like to improve my weaknesses skills to become better at the future.
Best: the multiple facilities it provides: café & library. Improvement: student voice.
Very inclusive community, questions and concerns answered efficiently. Possibly bigger uni would be better.
All good.
All the lecturers are very helpful and show how much they want you to succeed so you can feel comfortable with going to them if you need any sort of help or advice. the environment is really nice too and there’s enough environments where you can be social and also where you can peacefully study.
It’s just so friendly and I think that everyone is genuinely happy to be here which motivate you to learn more. I think the only thing to be considered is the time table and changes because some people have 4 hours of lectures with no break in between which can make you loose some concentration.
The community is great!! And it feels so welcoming!
The facilities for Zoology are amazing and the library is a brilliant space for students to study or socialise due to its many different areas. The toilets in certain blocks of the University could do with freshening up (the ones in T-Block are incredible!).
Derby has many facilities and is a great location to travel between Birmingham, Nottingham, Manchester, Sheffield, Lake District, Peak District, and many other things. Derby has many amazing hospitals and a great cost of living. Every city has good and bad aspects; even in the university sector, the area sometimes doesn't feel safe.
University facilities are great, like the library and student accommodation . I feel supported by my course staff, however feel support from the union could be more accessible
