Student support do not seem to take action when a male student is attacked by a female student, despite many reports regarding the female student's behaviour on and off campus with evidence nothing is done. However very quick to remove a male student off his course just by a now proven false accusation without any form of evidence or justifcation why he had to be removed other than the female student just claiming they didn't feel safe. Since the case has been proven he was innocent and she was lying she has not been removed from her course. Student support is incredibly bias and do not seem to care about students' wellbeing. In addition the halls maybe cheap but I am surprised a simple gust of wind hasn't blown it down they are very old and poor refurbishment has gone into it. They will also quickly blame students for the damage to the flat despite it purely wear and tear.
Solid course. Lecturers are friendly. Quality equipment in the lab to use and able to book a free slot to use them
Terrible wifi a few times a year the wifi on campus completely shuts down over night
Thank you for your feedback
Worst would be the water situation in my halls and the quality of the water and the selection in the uni shop. Best would be the cafeteria and bar.
The best would be the off-site sessions and the practical experiences. The worst would be the time frame for essays and the randomness of them, not being taught more before the hand in.
What I like the least is the water situation and the general fact that most things are breaking or aren't at the best quality or value of money spent. The most liked part would be the view from my window.

University accommodation is awful. Many issues on campus that take time to be fixed and we have not been compensated for any of it. Location is pretty but not ideal due to distance from the city and main shops and everything. The classrooms and lectures are pretty good though. Timetables aren't bad. Events are frequent and not too expensive. Transport provided to us for Wednesday nights out which is really appreciated
Good and interesting content that is well taught. Have been able to do hands on work and have been away from campus for events related to the course. Could do with better facilities like more equipment in the labs and longer lectures as we often run over the set time or have to rush the content.
The halls have many problems including copious amounts of mould and water problems. First 7 months of living in halls we were unable to drink the water and still it runs cloudy. Heating is not great. Showers are constantly having issues. Lighting in the kitchen is bad. The WiFi is poor and often doesn't work. Is not strong enough to even take a WiFi call and only certain devices are able to connect

How easy it can be to get mental health help and be able to talk to someone
Being able to talk to lecturer and get all the work done
Thank you for your feedback
Best - the amount of support received academically since starting university. Very satisfied with the course structure and practical elements Worst - the water situation at Marjon whilst living in halls not having fresh water for months and the amount of issues that has come from it
Best - lots of support with resources and quick responses from lectures on email! Worst - course hours, some weeks are all over the place and other only have a few lectures spread across one week but I understand it can’t always work with other course time tables
Thank you for your feedback
Its a small environment, lecturers know you and are able to provide more help to you, can make a lot of friends through sports clubs, course and flats. More community events to bring everyone closer together
Don’t get much time with tutors Course is taught well, no exams
Thank you for your feedback
The classes are small and the support for all students is FAB
The MRes is very flexible and individually focused
Thank you for your feedback
Lecturers are friendly and help the majority of the time
We need more hours to observe in clinic and was unaware when we should have started our 50 hours
We couldn’t drink tap water for months and we was told constantly it was going to get fixed until 5 months later it did
Thank you for your feedback
The opportunities Marjon have provided to me have been amazing. My course is so enjoyable and I’ve been lucky enough to make such good friends in my time here. The sports and study facilities are brilliant and our halls of residence have been so much fun to live in. One thing i would say could be improved is the parking on campus, as I know many students are unable to receive a permit for various reasons.
Our lectures are a good balance between theory and practical, and my first placement was a really good experience. In order to improve the course, I would say some more lectures on biomechanics would have been more helpful.
Plymouth is a brilliant city for students (like me) who have moved out of their home town for the first time. The city centre has everything you need, yet there are more quiet spots to visit. The barbican and the Hoe are nice areas to visit.
Despite a few maintenance issues, Clark is a nice hall to live in with a view of the 3G pitch.
