The Nursing course is incredible, the standard of nurses that are produced from the course is extremely high and the values of the university are well represented in the teaching. I was so encouraged when I saw the rainbow flag flying above campus the day I arrived for my interview. The grounds are stunning and beautiful. The facilities on campus are excellent, especially given that they are in a fairly isolated area. Travel access is generally good, trains and buses are great. Parking is a bit of a pain, having a private parking company on the grounds of a university is a bit of a joke, particularly in the current financial climate for students. I will say, that the university have tried to respond to the current crisis with various programs. They gave away hot water bottles, gave advice about heating and most importantly, they run a weekly free meal service and there are 2 options for free and small fee food bank type options. Having a free warm meal on campus, really incredible.
It is great that everything is on campus. Love the facilities!
Enthusiastic and knowledgable lecturers, interesting modules
The best aspects are the diversity found both in campus and out. There is always someone there to help even if they do not know you. The worse aspect might have to be how far away the campus is. In my case I do not have class everyday which makes it a bit dull living this far away and having to take a long period of time to commute to the city center.
The building feels very light and open, community feel, small but in a good way, facilities could be better

I love how small the uni is- you see the same people all the time and it has a real ‘family’ feel.
Good people. Good facilities. Pretty campus
The uni is so modern and overall had a very comfy feel to it. The public transport to and from is great! The only issue is the rooms are either roasting hot or freezing, never in between.
QMU has wonderful community feel about it where you never get lost in the crowd. I’ve loved my time here so far with supportive lecturers and great services such as the ELS
A very warm and supportive environment, with so much support available for students. Only tiny negative is the toilet facilities. They are not very well kept considering how lovely the rest of the University is
I like that the uni is small because it feels more welcoming. As well that the library and the Nook is open 24/7 which is great when studying. However, I find the prices for food and drinks a bit expensive in the university.
The staff are all so supportive and approachable - there's always someone to turn to if you need help.
A great uni that's small enough to be a community in itself, and that you always recognise someone to say hello to.

Some computers in the library don't work, level of cleanliness is not great (keyboards/desks(
The lecturers and the overall uni staff makes the experience a very pleasant and successful academic journey. The worst aspect of my experience at QMU is that a lot of my lectures, seminars and study materials were affected by global issues, such as COVID and the strikes. However, the staff did everything to overcome these difficulties and provide a high level of education but it still had a negative affect on my time at QMU.
Best is living in halls and being so close to events on campus and facilities Worst is disruption of travel when wanting to get out for the day.
It feels like a family and a community and all the staff on the course are amazing and really easy to talk to if there is an issue or if you need extra support.
The uni is small which makes it sort of feel like a community and isn’t too daunting for the transition from high school. It is very close to Edinburgh and easy to get to the centre. However since it’s small the student life is quieter. This could be improved by doing joint nights with other universities and creating a wider university life community.
best - location worst - diversity of people is low
