The teaching excellence makes university excellent. The staff and mainly NEST supporting team which plays a vital role in students life at Roehampton in helping each and every aspect of student query or problem. For me, I would say the NEST team should improved with all categories as sometimes they aren't helpful with different departments and would request to be available 24/7 online.
The uni is supercool and all the staff are supporting.
The university is so welcoming and it makes it a safe place to feel and study the only improvement I would say is that I wish that some of the clubs/societies I was thinking about joining would have to wait till next year due to me not being on campus on the same days as them.

Sure, I can give you an overview of both the best and worst aspects of the University of Roehampton experience: Best aspects: 1. Campus environment: Roehampton has a beautiful campus with green spaces, which provides a pleasant and conducive atmosphere for studying and socializing. 2. Small class sizes: The university offers small class sizes, allowing for more personalized attention from professors and fostering a sense of community among students. 3. Diverse student body: Roehampton attracts students from all over the world, creating a culturally rich and vibrant community where you can learn from people with diverse backgrounds and perspectives. 4. Supportive staff: The university provides excellent support services for students, including academic advisors, career counselors, and mental health resources, helping students to succeed both academically and personally. Worst aspects: 1. Limited facilities: Some students may find that the university's facilities, such as libraries, laboratories, or sports amenities, are not as extensive or modern as those of larger institutions. 2. Communication issues: Occasionally, there may be challenges with communication between students and staff, or among different departments, which can lead to confusion or delays in resolving issues. 3. Limited nightlife: While Roehampton is located in London, some students may find that the surrounding area lacks the vibrant nightlife scene found in other parts of the city, which could be a downside for those seeking a more active social life outside of campus. 4. Housing issues: Finding affordable and suitable accommodation in London can be challenging, and some students may experience difficulties with housing arrangements or accommodation quality.
The teachers are helpful but teaching quality varies in which some are more helpful than others. Some modules teaching material feels unnecessary.
If you utilise all the uni offers then its really exceptional, however sometimes you're unaware of what the uni can offer. The student life is fun though
the staff are very friendly and communicative and the facilities are so clean! my course does require only two days of attendance, so Im usually in on a saturday which is a non-busy day. However from the quiet spaces ive seen ive found it a great place to focus (if you ignore how pricy the sandwiches are!)
I like the campus but the location is difficult when you cannot drive.

The University of Roehampton in London is renowned for its picturesque campus, diverse community, and a variety of academic programs. With a commitment to research, ample student support services, and a London location providing access to cultural and professional opportunities, Roehampton offers a well-rounded educational experience. The focus on employability, modern facilities, and community engagement further contribute to its appeal as a great place to study.
The best aspects is the Library and how it’s laid out. The parking is mostly available for all the students as that’s the best facility university has provided. The worst aspects are sometimes the WiFi lacks in some buildings which causes disruption in my work. The Queens building’s infrastructure and design including the lighting.

Roehampton is a great place to study. It’s diverse, inclusive and friendly. It also provides a beautiful campus full of green and open spaces 20 mins away from central London.

It's a great place with first class facilities, and great support for students. I think it could improve the use of signs on campus for better location for new students.
I think the tution fee is way too much,the journey is a bit odd aswell. Only one bus is available to reach uni from Putney Bridge which is awful.
My favourite aspect of this uni is the library. Great study space with lots of resources and good cafe on the bottom floor. Love the campus chickens.
Love my uni.
The best aspect is the library we have. Brilliant, lots of resources and spaces and the cafe that is available. It’s very comfy and I love being there. The worst is the organisation. If you have a serious reason for a timetable change because you know it’s possible and you can’t possibly be there you’ll get an answer „No”. Also timetables are sorted a week AFTER term starts. No one really cares about anything organisation related.

The campus itself is very green however I think there should be more student events especially events for students living off campus
I think the course format and layout is good
If there is noise complaints we are told to call security however there was absolutely no service in my room so I couldn’t: I had a flatmate who had minimum 4 people over every night and I had an early start to a job and couldn’t get the noise stopped so yes security need to work on that
