Beautiful campus & city. Tutors are easy to talk to and help is always avaliable. Library is amazing and filled with everything you could need. If you want a small, lovely city with everything within walking distance of the campus, look here!
Overall, Chester is great! There is plenty to do in the small city and many things to do at the university. The university help out with careers and the students are very friendly.
It's amazing. Loving it. People are nice and friendly. There is nothing to regret about studying at the university of Chester. Quite a small town and night life is just as great as you could ever wish for. It does snow here in winter which makes the campus look perfectly pretty.
Disorganised and unhelpful. Very expensive place to live, but don't cater for students who have to take up a part time job to actually survive. They don't tell you if you have accommodation until the week before term starts. The exclude students living in the private sector. Definitely not worth £9000 per year

English Language and Literature BA (Hons)
University rating
4.0
My course (English Language and Literature) is brilliant, and I benefit from the excellent support that my tutors and PAT provide. All the people here at Chester are very polite and friendly so it's easy to make friends as a Fresher. Though the night-life lacks alternative music the train to Liverpool is only £6 and the taxis are really cheap if you fancy a group trip to the cinema or Toby Carvery.
Overall I was very disappointed with my experience of Chester University, having spent three years there studying for a BSc in Mathematics.
The quality of teaching and lectures was too variable: some lecturers made the work interesting and relevant, gave clear explanations and were very approachable, but there was one who was rude, obstructive and totally insensitive to the needs of the students. He delivered lifeless and uninspiring lectures which often resulted in students falling asleep! Feedback on assignments was slow and some tutors' comments were vague, giving me no advice on how to improve.
Library facilities were scarce at best, with a limited supply of course texts and computers to cater for everyone, Most computers were very slow, faulty and too many were out of order. However the staff were reasonably friendly and helpful.
I lived at home for the duration of my degree, so it wouldn't be appropriate to comment on accommodation.
Quite frankly, almost all aspects of the university fell far below my expectations.
