As a mature student I haven't explore the university much of the social side. I have enjoyed the experience as a student so far regarding lectures and the support.
Good facilities such as library and the new computers in Mellor are great as well as the student union shops. Think accommodation at Clairse Cliff Court is decent however rooms and kitchen are in need of updates
Excellent facilities and fantastic lecturers who are clearly passionate about their professions. Blackheath lane feels like a home away from home with everything you need to make studying enjoyable. Student support has been excellent as required. The library is a great source of help for any academic queries and having a named academic assessor makes it easy to contact the right person when needed. Staff reply to emails promptly and are helpful and polite. Student life at Blackheath lane is different to the ‘typical’ uni experience, due to it being solely healthcare courses and a mix of younger and older people in each cohort, many commute in from home and so there isn’t a great deal of social things happening eg nights out, however we do organise these within our cohorts anyway so don’t feel like we are particularly missing out. I am aware of the students union but we unfortunately don’t see them much at Blackheath lane so a stronger presence there would be good too.
The best aspect of my uni experience is making life long friends and being able to experience being independent. The worst aspects of my uni life is finding something to do in the area I'm studying in. I have no problems with my module or timetable. One thing I'd say that needs improving is the events that the uni hold, i think they should be more appealing to the students. Other than that it would be a great place to study for someone who is less social.
The feel of the studios I study in make it comfortable and inspiring to see all the art around

The university had great facilities, excellent staff and very good opportunities, however the only thing that I would criticise would be to change the timetables to therefore make it less time consuming then it needs to be for students being on campus due to the fact students are having to wait hours for there next lesson meaning more fuel being used for students and more time being wasted for students.
All staff are extremely friendly More/longer practical lessons
Lecturers are great. University needs to be much more lively for students.

The night life isn’t great and there needs to be more activities and events on for more people. As there is a lot for a certain type of person like introvert but there’s no extrovert events apart from karaoke and gobble. I love the course and think that makes it worth it it’s the social side that brings it down.
Not much can say about it been good. Not much support for dyslexia students.
overall the university is very good, the location however isn't great. Already within my first year ive had a guy with a knife threaten me and a group of friends whilst playing football. This is something that the local police are aware of but it doesn't feel like much will be done to make things safer in the surrounding areas i.e. more lights through Hanley park.
The facilities and feel of the university are great, everything is very modern and effective. Student support with things such as IT are top tear and very helpful. I do think that some of the staffs teaching styles potentially need adapting.
I love how comfy the university is, of course Stoke on Trent isn't the biggest city but the campus facilities such as the Cadman building, Ember and Verve all are very lovely to be in. Location wise is very close to places like Manchester so I can hop on a train if needs be. There are always student events on! and I've made lots of new friends from these socials. Currently applying for help with my ADHD and the student disability team has been very helpful. I wish places like student shops and buildings were open later as I am a night owl and tend to be the most productive then!
Staffordshire University is extremely nurturing to it's students the child nursing team support and encourage students to make a difference. I enjoy studying at staffs university for the knowledg, guidence and support they offer.
The spaces that are offered for studying and learning are excellent and are perfect for the course I'm studying.
Overall at Staffordshire university there is a really good culture with lots of activities, however, most of these are held at the Stoke campus and if you’re studying at the Stafford campus you feel like you’re missing out on many opportunities and events. That being said the facilities are great, there’s really good student support and the quality of teaching is outstanding.
Get help from my tutors and the library.
The university catalyst building is a very innovative learning environment. I believe the university could be improved by having more opportunities and support for students who are parents.

The campus is away from the rest of university but it's helpful and close to placement hospitals. There's good staff.
Blended learning doesn't work as well as they think it does. Good classes and information
