Student library,city space is fantastic. However student learning support and library support is very poor.
All staff's and students are very friendly. You can get good guidance from staff’s. But for this you have to be very patient because you will get reply 1week later.
Very accepting and supportive uni with good communication and services.
Most rooms in walking distance, staff are supportive. Plenty of lecture time. On site food places are expensive prices keep increasing and lack options for those with allergies, intolerances and Dietary requirements
Lecturers being too vague and expecting too much from students new to the course.

I love how the city is not too busy as I get overwhelmed in busy places. I also love the location as its a short bus ride to the beach
The culture of the area is great, there's lots of things to do. Sometimes the main city is hard to navigate
Good support from team and great course
Getting hold of staff is hard , parking is also a huge problem (city campus) , there isn’t enough space and too many spots for staff which are always empty !! . Not enough computers and space available for students to study and use .
The university is very accessible as well as has 2 libraries that can be accessed easily. although i wish the cafeteria food was cheaper since we are students here that spend a lot of time at the university and pay tuition.
I really like the facilities and the support the staff give, but it could be beneficial if the library was bigger with more study space as it can get busy. The support for disability students and the students union is very good and supportive no matter what the situation it.
Best - very well up to date buildings. Clean. Never any problems. Great staff and lectures that care. Improvement - connection between campuses. Also students timetables sometimes arent specific making students lost. Sometimes assignments arent explained enough on the task and what the expectations are. This leads to students bombarding lecturers for more info that should have been available before.
Location, however parking isn’t great
I like feeling close to home and being able to get on with my lecturers. I feel supported, however canvas could be improved by being able to access things easier as I find that some reading materials are unable to access. The university is a large space and has plenty of place to go if you need to work or do some research. The library has a lot of useless information which helps with coursework.
Great location and facilities
Feel supported, and get plenty of help and support the services which the university provide have made my university much more smoother and capable and helped with struggles I've previously experience. The staff are also great and feel lucky that I've great tutors to learn from and inspire to

I enjoy University of Sunderland because the lecturers really value our opinions as students and if we take any complaints to them, we are immediately told a course of action to fix these issues.
The hours are perfect, the modules all feel relevant in third year and I genuinely learn
