firstly, what I like about my university is the place is quite and calm. the worst experience through this year was transport. students are experiencing bad situation regarding transport.

best- The opportunities that I had received here are amazing, my study abroad experience wouldn't have been the same because of this institution they were so helpful, the staff academic and pastoral are wonderful and a great help worst - they withdrew from the language program so I am unable to learn another language and join a language club

I love the university libraries_modern, quiet and clean, the facilities are also very good, it makes me want to stay there and study all day. The teachers and support services are also hospitality. The one thing I do not really like is not having many types of food in canteen, specifically Asian foods

The University of Sunderland has been a wonderful place so far. I've met a lot of new people from all over the world and have created some good friendships. The one thing that can be improved is to have more transportation facilities for the students as the North East buses are on strike. The limited pink bus schedule has been difficult as my classes end at 9.00 pm and I have to take the metro late at night.
Such an incredible university with lecturers who are passionate about teaching which inspires students. The friendly and inclusive environment on campus is consistent and often enjoy chatting to restaurant, cafe and domestic staff. Sunderland University is such a great place to study.
Our test times are release way too late
The support for disabilities and wellness is absolutely fantastic. The lecturers are amazing and I feel so welcomed at university. The only piece of feedback I would give would be due to the cost of living crisis it can be difficult to have money left often after bills and the food in the restaurant is quite expensive. But it is nice.
The university offers great teaching facilities and staff that keep myself and other students engaged. The atmosphere of the university overall is very positive and many of my friends I have only just met from my first term here are welcoming and friendly. Facilities I would hope to be improved are access to WiFi for students and the speed of many of the MACs could be improved.
It’s quiet and amazing.
Worst-masters got dropped to a bachelors I’m in 3rd year and it’s still not sorted Best- staff are all really friendly and welcoming
Support from staff is amazing and the wellbeing facilities/staff make themselves very visible and available. I really enjoy my course and the tutors are great and so helpful. There is only good transport access for students if you are in student halls close-by or near a metro, but I am still in the city of Sunderland and have no direct/easy way to get there which is annoying as I am from Sunderland but have no direct link to the uni by bus or metro due to my location.
Very helpful staff, interactive workshops to consolidate learning
A great place to study, facilities are amazing. Staff are very welcoming and helpful, student support is great. I’m pleased I have chosen to study at Sunderland, I haven’t found anything that needs to be improved on.
The university is extremely conducive when it comes to studying and convenience wise.
