Very modern approach.
It’s has loads of options
The people
the support at ulster is amazing and campus is beautiful
Pros: Peaceful, beautifully green campus Beautiful, modern accommodation for cheap Small and communal feeling Down to earth lecturers and seminar tutors Very good academic support Just a train away from Derry and Belfast Cons: Reslife needs more professionalism Swapshop or pantry would be really cool
the facilities are pretty great especially student wellbeing they practically got me through my second year as it was pretty tough
More event nights in the students union eg bingo, comedy. more sports clubs and clubs in general.
The student union needs improvement.
Pros: Teacher support is very prompt and available. Students Union is easily opened to and easy to access resources. Most of the events organised are fun. Cons: University can take too long to resolve serious student issues or address them in a meaningful manner
The lecturers are amazing and the campus is gorgeous
It has a great atmosphere all day round but I wish there were more things or events going around uni especially with the students union. Or even having more vibrant spaces. It is difficult to have em given the fact that the location of the university makes it difficult to have an open free flowing campus
Accessible and affordable car parking isn’t an option for those who commute. Provision of these facilities would greatly improve access to attending university and improve overall attendance
The university lacks greenery, despite being next to it's own park there's rarely greenery near campus. The university had prospects of a roof garden yet it's barren and dying and in an inopportune location to access. There's much more room for opportunity for a garden outside of the vegan "Vert café" on the sixth floor which is more likely to get volunteers from a community who focuses highly on greenery. The art building, despite being an art building, startling lacks art and colour. Aside from scarce photos the building feels very stagnant. The allowance of more murals (see the sixth floor's Game of Thrones mural for reference) would brighten the building up, as well as larger art on the outside as proposed in the newly released render of the new park layout. As a student who lacks roof access I cannot comment on whether the uni has renewable solutions for energy such as solar panels (though some are visible in BD for testing) but the inclusion of more renewables would be a very welcome sight.
Art facilities are great and classrooms are comfortable. most staff are very good but a lot of my classes have been poorly planned and organised. having to pay for expensive software on top of tuition is also depressing.
More parking.
Great atmosphere and great help with placement opportunities
