We are small, and so facilities and staff are stretched.
BGU is a student-central Uni that actually cares about the student experience and life. They look after you to make sure the experience is remembered and valued; it's not just a place to do a course and leave.
The teacher resource library where everything that can really support anyone in a teaching degree is available. The available support for assignments like CELT and personal tutors. For the course in particular it is very full on and days where it is lectures all day in the lecture theatre can be quite draining so breaking them up or making them slightly shorter could help prevent congnitive overload.
The uni is really small so has a great support system making everything feel more personal. The campus is small so it isn’t at all daunting for anyone who may be nervous about going to uni. I can’t speak much on the student union as I have never been to the evening events as I live of campus but I’m sure it’s great!
The tutors are very supportive and very caring. The uni offers a lot of facilities to support students throughout the program.

The campus is a very safe and friendly environment. Everyone is very kind. I enjoy studying there, as a disabled student the small campus size is brilliant and timetabling do there best to get me accessible classrooms. The only thing I think could be improved is the placement offices disability support, I have issues with them not choosing accessible settings and I am having to have a meetings with them to sort this multiple times and have had to change settings multiple times.
I chose this uni due to the high volume of student support as well as the friendly environmental feel i got when i visited it for the first time!
I enjoy the university support side as I do believe they have a lot to offer in regards of support. However I have not had a massive uni student life experience due to the lack of facilities to meet people

I love the scenic campus. I also love how it's a small campus where everyone knows everyone. Even the staff in Curiosity or Refectory know you by name- something you would not get a larger university. The university offers a lot of mental health support from Student Advice. I also love how we have CELT, it means we can have someone who can proofread academic work and assignments. The SU, only offers activities and events for people who drink alcohol therefore people who do not drink (like me) feel left out. However, we have the chaplaincy team who offer free or cheap activities and events which do not include alcohol, these seem a lot more inclusive.
The best aspect for me is the support given by academic staff aswell as those in other areas of university, such as CELT bgfutures ans the library
Small and friendly and lots of quiet study area available. Other peoples cleanliness in shared facilities could be improved. I don't want to sit in my kitchen to do work because it's a mess
Student union is amazing and really supportive

It has such a wonderful cosy feel and you never feel like you're just a number in a machine, the lecturers really care about you and want you to succeed. It needs better support to other departments, and it's need to reinforce that community feeling
A bad aspect would be bad it’s up a hill and therefore it’s quite difficult to get to the location however it’s near a town where we can go shopping and grab a coffee before lesson or hang with friends after. A good thing about uni is that I’ve managed to make great friends even though I commute, as well as improve my confidence in speaking and writing. Also I have improved my confidence in talking in lesson as well.

Great place to make life long friends, very socialable in the student bar, there is a pool table that students love to use. Everyone is so lovely and you don’t feel out of place, you feel included and welcome, there is also a gym and places you can go if you want alone time aka the quiet place. The only negative I’d say is the location as it up the hill in Lincoln so it is a little bit of a walk to the town centre and all the night clubs, there is a bus you can get in the day but at night you’ll be relying on a taxi or you’ll need to walk if you don’t have a car, which will take approximately 20-30 mins depending on how you walk.
