Musical Theatre (Film Acting) - BA (Hons)

University rating (4)

Chichester is a safe city/town. It’s got a really nice atmosphere to it but not the best night life. The university could do with more communication between courses, especially those in joint routes.

Media & Communications - BA (Hons)

University rating (5)

Chi offers fantastic student support, from the feedback from lectures to the careers advisors. I always felt guided and supportive in my years at the university. There are multiple canteens offering a great selection of food to the students and staff. The library is very simple to work around and there is always a great amount of space to work either on your own or with a group of friends.

Creative Writing and English - BA (Hons)

University rating (3)

It’s a small friendly campus with excellent teaching staff. Little to zero social acknowledgment for mature students, which lets it down.

My University has a massive student support system. It has helped me find my way through my new health condition and made sure I feel both supported and safe in not only my lectures but at my accommodation as well. The students all seem so happy and support each other regardless of whether or not they know each other. Lecturers go out of their way to support students and I believe they are true teachers rather than individuals with degrees. They make an effort to know each of their students individually, which provides a comforting environment. They have a focus on sustainability which involves both students and lectures being involved to improve the campus. The wide range of societies provides numerous opportunities for students, allowing individuals to develop their skill set and provides another opportunity to meet new people. The small campus provides a close knit community which allows individuals to develop an extended family. The university support you with housing, jobs and future careers from even as early as the first year. Whilst a small campus can often be seen as a negative the smaller aspect of Chichester complements the small, calm aspect of the city itself. I feel unbelievably safe in both uni and the city of Chichester. Student life is limited due to the small size of the city means students are limited to only a handful of bars for nights out. There are two bars which remain open until 3am on student night which have a nice student atmosphere, with cheap drinks. However if you are looking for a big night out it often involves heading to Portsmouth which adds an increased cost to the night out and the worry of transport to and from the club. The students union appears to be popular especially on social night, however due to off-campus accommodation being a half an hour walk away the students bar is often the last resort due to the walk back in the early hours of the morning. The students union itself works hard to provide the best support and opportunities for students, arranging events for individuals, groups and courses. As well as ensuring celebrations for each and every awareness day/week such as mental health week, purple day and pride. Overall the university is such a supportive environment. Provides multiple opportunities for students. And allows them to begin planning their future.

The best part is the community and my friends. The worst aspect is the lack of support within the student union.

The campus is always clean and the modern facilities give a nice feeling. Departments like admissions or fees are always slow to answer and require constant chasing.
