it’s new experience
Amazing
The food could be better
A fund for disabled students
Couldn't get discretionary funding because the process is not ADHD friendly.
Great uni, and there’s a lot of help of needed
Not the biggest fan of moodle and the way it’s organised but otherwise I really like studying here so far!
The Merchiston campus- It's a good place because of the decent accessible location, library resources and talented lecturers! International students need more scholarships in the creative industry too! There's a huge case of inequality. Classmates of mine study here for free or for a very low free, whereas, just because I'm from outside the EU, I pay £31,000 pounds and an additional several thousand to just study and live here for 2 years!?? We're going backwards. More scholarships for existing students would make us feel like we belong here, and we don't have to constantly be worried about money. There's little to no race diversity in class. I'm the BIPOC only in my whole class. There's no international students community on this campus. I wish more health and well being books were available here. The disability support, mental health support can be more active. They barely follow up. The uni expects you take full charge of your mental health, instead of making it a community effort, and expects us to make time for so many things at once, however younger students need more support finding them at times too. Everything being so digital makes it difficult to learn or book appointments, personally. I wish there was a corner for cheap stationary or a stall for thrifting! Very few good in campus jobs too. There's rarely any out-of-classroom learning. All clubs are hard to know about unless you're on social media and have plenty of time. Classes being from Mon to Friday makes it so hectic. There's also lecturers who hate when a student takes a day off. Instead of making a community where we can fill each other up, they sometimes equate being passionate with being very obedient. Some lecturers can be harsh at times too. I understand presence is important, but it can help to have less hectic class timings throughout the week.
Moodle/ email could do with a better system as it always crashes
Uni is overall a good experience Not rough with students either
very friendly atmosphere around people and facilities. very supportive with your studies and help in your student life to make easy going.

Best: Ease of communication with lecturers snd other staff Worst: Smalk number of societies compared to other universities
Relaxed atmosphere and community feel

My teachers are nice and supportive in quite a taxing course. The library quiet space people are often talking loudly. I really like the staff at the cafe, especially cynthia she is great! The food is quite expensive in the lunch area. There needs to be a water fountain on every floor. The water fountain on the second floor library tastes weird.
Taught in person. Huge amounts of contact time for a masters. Thursdays feel too long.
