I have made so many great friends already at uni, which I wouldn't have made without them. The staff in the geography department are all amazing and incredibly supportive of their students. The geography department facilities are brilliant for a uni of it's size, including a soil lab. I have also loved the content in all the physical geography modules. As a whole the uni has some brilliant facilities, but some could also do with a major upgrade, such as the swimming pool. As well as this, there is a bias from the Athletics uni towards the more traditional sports: football, rugby, hockey etc. And it shys away from recognising the smaller sports eg swimming and waterpolo.
The best is definitely the support of the department, you can speak to any lecturer and they will be happy to help. As well as this the facilities are great. I have also loved the content for the physical geography/realted fields this year. This year I haven't been able to do any natural hazard management, which is the course I signed up for, we have been combined with all the other geography students this year. Just doing 1 module related to hazards. I believe this is changing for September

The uni implemented good support for during COVID
Would have been nice to have more face to face teaching time, but covid made this difficult, also they made up for this with live online lectures

The University of Chester is a small institution which allows for small group teaching and a more personal way of studying/learning. The campus is located very close to the city centre. Being a small institution there aren’t quite as many facilities as a larger one, but the facilities are nonetheless excellent!
The course is primarily face to face, with very few online lectures, though the online lectures are excellent and can be easily implemented if the situation requires it. The course has high contact hours, and the lecturers are excellent and priorities the students. The lecturers are easy to contact outside of lectures if their help is required.

In Shrewsbury campus which is a retirement town basically, not much to do as a teen straight into university, not many classes face to face apart from skills, not much support for wellbeing here in this campus, not many events happening for uni students
it’s blended learning but mainly online, long placement hours and not much contact with lecturers unless you email them about it first
it’s a retirement town, public transport not really reliable only one bus company not much to do here as someone straight into uni from college
its alright for how much it costs really noisy as it’s in the middle of the town centre always something not working council accommodation not uni owned
Thank you for your feedback
I do like my own campus but I don’t feel like we are associated with main campus. This means I don’t feel included into the uni much and when I do go main campus I feel out of place. I do like my lecturers and all the staff though and my campus. Also I like chester as a city it has a nice feel it’s not busy but is busy enough and is very cute in the summer.
Campus is a little out of the way Could be more space for designers and heating is needed as my studio is very cold I also think there should be buses put on for students
Public transport could be better especially getting to campus But a lot of things are within walking distance
