Overall experience was brilliant however some of the seminars seemed to be a little bit underprepared particularly social theory which seemed almost like the tutor couldn't be bothered
pretty good
stressful
The university has great opportunities when looking for jobs and welcomes all with open arms! So many people commented how ""friendly people in the north are"" since joining here. I started uni not knowing anybody in Middlesbrough and now I couldn't imagine living elsewhere!
I've had a good experience ere so far.
I've loved it here so far, just really dissapointed with the accommodation standards.
I've met some great people and learn a lot of new skills but the course isn't right for me.
loved everything until i got to third year
My course is really interesting and gives us the chance to go into placements first year and perform in court practice days ready for the following year. Not very much reading to do but the teaching support is great and sufficient to get us through assignments.
My course is very hard work but I absolutely love it. And what makes it so much easier is I am far enough away from home for independence but my friends and family are only 45 minutes down the road! I love uni :)
My tutors offer great support but I don't use the uni facilities or the student support services so I can't offer comment on those. It's a great night life with a great atmosphere!
More support around accommodation should be given, as I'm often anxious about complaining
I haven't joined any clubs and societies but we are made more than aware what is available and how accessible they are. I love my course and in first year the work load isn't overly strenuous, surprisingly! Great services are available for learning disabilities too!
I love university and I am glad I chose my course over criminology, this is an industry that is going to be needed by society for a long time to come and i am proud to be part of it!
I love university but I will be commuting from home next year instead of living with other students. I am very much a family orientated person so I have struggled being away from my family but living in student accommodation has been a great way of meeting new people and making new friends!
I love university it has allowed me to explore avenues of my education I have never done before and it is something I did far too late!
I plan to drop out of university as I don't enjoy university lifestyle other than the night life, the social side is tremendous!
Good, welcoming


Very happy with course and overall support from lectures and advisor . There are loads of activities available all the time to help better your employability or to give you more options in life
