Hi there, I'm Luna.
I'm a bit like an AI, except instead of making pictures of people with 16 fingers, I can help you find the perfect course and uni.
Would you like some help in your search?
Our collection of real, honest student reviews of unis and courses is the largest in the UK, and helps you make well-informed decisions about your future. Student reviews also form the basis of our annual Whatuni Student Choice Awards (WUSCAs), which highlight great work carried out by institutions for their students.
Best aspects of My University Experience: One of the best things about university was the opportunities for personal growth and independence I gained. Managing my time, responsibilities, and academics while balancing extracurriculars really shaped me. Another great aspect was the people I met—from classmates to professors and mentors, I built strong connections that I know will help me in the future. Worst Aspects of My University Experience: Of course, university wasn’t without its challenges. Financial stress was definitely something I had to navigate, from tuition fees to accommodation costs. There were also times when academic pressure felt overwhelming, especially balancing coursework, exams, and extracurricular commitments. But looking back, I think those challenges made me more resilient and prepared me for the real world.
As a January new starter, naturally I would be among the few, but I came in as the sole January starter to join the September group. It has been very exciting however I haven’t received as much guidance or induction as I would have expected, especially at Masters level. I believe the lecturers probably ‘expect’ me to know, because they prioritized September starters. Otherwise I am very happy with the university so far and I am sure it will get easier as I get to grips!
Its local to me and they could improve it by make it look more aesthetic
Good location and facilities
It’s a nice small university near the city centre. I enjoy the atmosphere of the university and love how you’re not too far away from entertainment.
Overall the studies are good but student union is not that great.
- Good student atmosphere and facilities to study. - Difficult for commuting students or students on a budget to use communal areas. - Food prices are very high. - Well connected bus services and routes. - I feel safe on campus with security services. - Good gym facilities. - Furnishings are comfortable.
The opportunities to find smaller communities is the best and the worst is the lack of direct lecture involvement.
Very good support throughout the uni, all facilities are pretty up to date bar a few, and social life is good.

It is a good university with a modern academic staff, which is quite adequate for the department I chose.
PROS - The university has been absolutely stellar at providing opportunities to those who put in that extra effort. - Support, particularly the maths gym provided by the uni for ...
