Very welcoming. Friendly staff.
The staff are all so friendly, as well as student support being super helpful if there’s ever an issue with technology, directions etc. The facilities are all very modern so not only do they look great they work great as well which is useful for efficiency.
Good facilities , library . However, some floors of the library are only available to specific students. Recently made new study booths which are very useful. Wish there was more interactive . Good transport links, metro right outside the Uni.
Facilities are good Communication and structure of the course could be improved
The staff around are useful

Best is the student support. Worse is the content of the qualification
The university offers a range of facilities to provide support for it's students, as well as commonly putting on events and extra sessions to aid it's students further. However, whilst it is incredible academically, it is somewhat lacking for facilities to wind down. The university does have a student union building, However is lacking somewhat in their clubs and societies. With this being further paramount when the university doesn't offer a Union pub like many competitor universities of it's size. TLDR: Excellent teaching and academic studies. Lacking for activities.
It's has great learning environment
Sunderland is a great school to student and it welcomes international students however the method of paying schools fees is not encouraging ,I mean it shouldn't be rigid but flexible for us to meet up because I'm having emotional instability right now because the date is very close .secondly the 20hours working is not auspicious ,no matter how much one comes with ,it can never be enough to take care of our individuals needs therefore I will highly appreciate it if the two points I raised can be looked into .Thank you so much
It is a great place to study because is very conducive and well organised but my may concern now is about our accommodation not too impressive and not always easy for students expecially at the first time l came in to the UK l was stranded l try apply online accommodation before coming was not available until l came still was not available for few weeks and another thing is about our working hours please if possible to increase it instead of 20hours and please if the school can write to immigration about our working hours and please the school also help us to extend the payment deadline if possible. Thanks in anticipation
Best: Meeting new people Least: Massive bus strikes stopping me getting in to uni
The teachers work well with the students abs make them feel at home. I do not have a worst aspect yet
Both campuses are relatively easily accessible, even from travelling outside of the city like I do. The facilities are also good and the support staff are extremely helpful when required.
The people around you keep you motivated to succeed. The worst part is the constant stress about money and thinking how to bugget for a weeks to come
Friendly environment, accessible facilities, can be improved by having more facilities
Needs more library spaces
What I would like to say about university is that since coming here I finally feel like I’m in an environment that’s healthy for me. The teachers are excellent when it comes to supporting me with my disability, I truly feel like I belong.
The course is amazing and I love the lecturers. However, the city can get boring
More space to eat
