I had the time of my life at Roehampton! I created so many wonderful memories that will last with me for life from the great friends I made, the clubs and events I joined and my fantastic tutor. I knew the second that I attended the Roehampton University Open Day, that Roehampton was the perfect university for me and I was right! I honestly couldn't have had a better experience!

Overall university experience has been a great yet challenging experience, learning new skills on how to manage time and how to prioritise work. For some modules, the lecturers gives us work done by previous work so that we can check how well they have done, or what they could have done to improve their mark.
I love Roehampton
The course is quite good, but I really think that the students that live off campus need more support. The clubs and societies are really highly rated. I'd recommend this uni to other students.
I love the uni atmosphere and teaching. It is very friendly and enjoyable here. The lecturers are understanding and treat you like their own. I really like the mixed course disciplines and the mix of theory and practical. I am very disappointed by the accommodation. I didn't get a place on campus and many friends of mine weren't informed of whether they got a place or not when applying three months before the deadline... I think the societies on offer don't really cater for people off campus, they are always on at odd times. Some of the societies I emailed didn't reply to me. The information from the SU is relayed to on-campus students before us, and we miss out sometimes. I would, however, say that the uni works hard to give us opportunities and set us up for work.
My experience at university so far was great. I met new people from other countries and I oculd learn more and more about dance. The best thing about the course is the high level of teaching we are provided with. There is English support if English is not your mother tongue. There is also support and tutorials available from your teachers. I'm hopeful that I'll get a job more easily than in my home country!
It is a fantastic campus. Very inspiring just to be there! Teaching is good although I can only feedback on my programme, Education and Early childhood studies. There is student support available from ALA (academic) to welfare officer and counselling. The former is very critical which is ultimately benefiting your mark! The latter is provided by a very sensible team which can help students in difficult times. However, this year, for apparently no official reason, our lecturers have been cut down to one less lecture/seminar. I fell that this is unfair, especially considering that our fee has not gone down accordingly. Overall I am quite satisfied with the programme.
Love it here! Amazing place. Needs more recognition. Love my college, love the community feel. Love it here! Amazing place. Needs more recognition. Love my college, love the community feel. Love it here! Amazing place. Needs more recognition. Love my college, love the community feel.
I think roehampton university isn't only a beautiful university but the fact that it is so small means you are able to get to know so many people and all groups and society's get mixed together.
Coming to Roehampton has changed my life completely, it has helped me to become the person I always wanted to be and has opened my eyes in so many ways to what life can be like. I have had so many amazing experiences here and met such a vast range of people from all over the world. All the staff and students here are incredibly friendly and from day one have made me feel supported and safe. I wouldn't change my time here for the world!
Roehampton has a lovely campus and a wonderful atmosphere about it. Everybody, students and staff alike are friendly and welcoming - especially to first years, which is important. Lecturers are happy to help with both personal and academic issues and are an all-round brilliant support network. The student's union works very very hard to provide opportunities for everyone, no matter what your interest or ability. Sport roehampton is an invaluable resource with a wide range of sports on offer.
Roehampton University has provided me with the most amazing 3 years. Dance studies has broadened my career options as well as providing me with techniques I have never studied before.
I believe roehampton university is truly an amazing place for a student. The people you encounter shape your grouth just as much as the actual course does and it unbelievably easy to find help regarding almost any matter!
Great Uni for teacher training with experience lecturers and a range of resources and support. I feel happy at my Uni and the location is good. The Uni is small which means that they support students more. I am a cheerleader and this society has kept me fit and gave me friends.
Overall good university. Through it being a campus uni you get a very close family feel with the other students. You tend to know most of your year even if they are not in your class because of the many on campus events and those you live with.
My course and lecturers are fantastic and I'm really enjoying studying. However, the rest of the university needs improvement, particularly the shops and student union bar.
