The University in my opinion is average in every way. They seem unable to manage funding, and many cuts have been made over the summer that are detrimental to the students. Cutting staff and increased car parking really damage the University. lecturers are now more worried about their jobs than teaching students. They are trying to expand the SU but it has not worked well either. The University also messed around with the students living in the accommodation, potentially making students homeless.
I like it everything
It's amazing
Community for international students is weak
A conducive and supportive environment for learning.
I like the support and activities offered to the students. I think more information on what to do when hard times fall would be beneficial
There are computers and libraries in most places and lots of study places to study at . I love how I can book study rooms and be organised for my study .
The cool riverine area surrounding the school is a great view for relaxation on days it gets though . There’s great student support which include well-being and general staff concern
I like the campus and it feels very happy all around, all the staff are always helpful to students.
Location is set besides the river and overlooked the river is pretty; the city campus close to centre with good links.
Staff are really friendly and always willing to spend extra time supporting our learning. The facilities used for teaching are high level and always ready to be used. The library is unfortunately not open 24/7. SU is small but cafe has nice, reasonable priced food however not open late. There are some events but not many and they can be expensive or not have high availability limiting the number who can take part. Student life is relatively quiet. Student night (wednesday) is slightly more lively but generally go into Newcastle for an event. Accommodation is nice, however washing facilities are only open 9am-9pm which is difficult around lectures and studying, and reception only open 9-5 so difficult to collect parcels
University has been cutting down resources such as staff members and cafe , which will affect students, limiting their experiences to explore more. I hope that they will think it through because we have paid a lot to study here to access to more resources. Facilities are clean and accessible, and wide range of resources are available . Students are able to experience new things to help to develop their artistic styles. The university also provides job fairs or career advice that help students. Organising events and trips for students to meet new people and gain new experiences.
University is in good location. Strong student support.
University can open doors to meet diverse people professors, fellow students, industry professionals that can shape both personal growth and career prospects.

First gen student

The best experience I’ve ever had was that my university is located in a beautiful location which is Canary Wharf When I go to university for the first time I was having my great experience. The facility provided by university is very good. And the worst experience I’ve ever get was I was fallen in stairs while i was going to outside of the building.
A great place with cheap lifestyle. Very suitable for student.
The best is being accepted onto the course the worst is not having my support plan followed and no support from academic lectures when requested.
Friendly environment and staffs are so helpful and encouraging.
It’s been really lovely being in a university here in London,but I would like to mention the part where my fees were stated wrongly. It affected me to an extent which I didn’t like the feel of it. Although I got the necessary support and the fees corrected but to avoid such happening to anyone else,there should be a proper record to this effect. Another thing is getting a job here,asides the careers team helping with the CV , no other help is being rendered especially with the course we’re studying (nursing), for most of us upon completion we would want to start work and even getting one currently seems difficult with most of the employers always requesting for a previous experience in care in the UK,with the university’s influence I believe we can get internship placements and also get paid which can help us get experience and we can also blend well into the system. It would be really lovely if this can be looked into,I don’t know if we would benefit from it anymore but those coming shouldn’t have to go through the same thing,as it can be frustrating to an extent. Additionally, the time for resuming to class is during the peak hours and it’s quite expensive especially when we just got into the system,if the time can be adjusted a bit to accommodate us beyond the peak hours to save cost and to help us get to class in time,it would be very much appreciated
