It is a gorgeous campus!! The uni do have good support, however it is hard to access same day as an issue arises.
Great facilities and loads of practice rooms!! The course content is very similar hear on year which can get boring and not helpful in terms of progressing.
Lovely halls and friendly reception team. Slightly far from uni which is find during the week when there is a bus, however not ideal at weekends
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.
There are some INCREDIBLE lecturers. Industry professionals and passionate about what they do. And there are of course some lecturers who had seemed to have lost that and at times felt like that made them take it out on the students. The facilities got better over time. There is a stigma around some courses within the conservatoire though. With some courses getting priority and being shown favouritism over others which leads to the courses who are not at the top of the conservatoires personal rankings having lesser facilities and being neglected with funding, time and effort.
The location was far away with not enough transport to get to and from uni and any shop to do a food shop. The facilities themselves were comfortable and mainly clean. However en-suites tended to flood, shower curtains broke down easily, silver fish were regular. However if there was a problem very often you could get it sorted.
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.
All of my lecturers supported me greatly over the range of modules that I studied. From essay feedback to support and guidance on presentations, they always pushed myself to deliver the best work that I could, all while being able to express my creative writing. My course covered a wide range of areas within the media industry, with a focus on film. As someone with a passion for film, this allowed me to analyse other genres of film that I was less accustomed and interested in, pushing my knowledge further. In addition, with an interest in gaming, this course also included a module centred on Gaming and helped me lead into writing my dissertation on an aspect of that industry. The class sizes were small, around 7 or 8 of us. However, this allowed for more one-to-one support with our lecturer, giving us more time to discuss and theorize on the given topics. This type of class allowed me to thrive more as I had more attention with the rest of the class to discuss as a whole. instead of always being split up throughout a lecture.
It’s a small friendly campus with excellent teaching staff. Little to zero social acknowledgment for mature students, which lets it down.
Tutors are very accessible and approachable. Lessons are generally not recorded so students are encouraged to attend.
Near to town centre. Very safe environment. Small friendly campus.
I enjoy the inclusive environment, the cozy feel of the campus, and the support I receive from my course and department
We could have more diversity of module options, and there should remain an option without dance
The WiFi was good but cut in and out, 6 washers and 6 dryers for 5 blocks with 8 flats of 7 people really isn't enough
The travel to the different campuses this year has been a lot tougher
AFF isn’t treated with the same respect or compassion that any of the MT subjects are
I really like how small my blow I was and I like being catered.
Best aspect is the course leaders and lecturers are helpful and friendly, as is the accommodation staff. The university provides lots of help with mental well-being to students aswell.
Have lots of contact hours, which is perfect for the course I am studying
I love staying in fishbourne, it is clean and modern, with the on-site accommodation staff fixing any problems the same day they are reported
The people and just the overall atmosphere
The course as a whole is very interesting it's just actually dojng the coursework, if you don't stay on top of it it gets a bit challenging
Being around people is amazing but becomes a habit to always go out
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.
Whilst studying a law course, I feel my lectures work hard to know our names, our own individual aspects and our strengths and weaknesses. I feel that information is shared quickly among students to allow them sufficient time to prepare for assignments. There are no seated exams at the end of the year allowing individuals to express their academic ability in a multitude of ways rather than just a written exam. I have limited contact hours, currently attending university three days a week. Which although provides good contact when present. The limited hours potentially effects communication surrounding assessments.
I do love my student halls. It’s a 25 minute walk to the uni, or has a bus every hour. This allows a nice bit of exercise each and every day which I do appreciate. He met some lovely people and the onsite staff and security are absolutely amazing. I feel extremely safe in my halls and have never felt frightened especially living on the ground floor. I was assigned a flat of 8 which I struggled with. On my application I specified my struggle with meeting new people and being around large groups and was then placed in the largest flat. This was slightly frustrating. I currently only talk to three members in my flat which may have been different if I had been in a smaller flat.
The best part is the community and my friends. The worst aspect is the lack of support within the student union.
Andrew Wright, lead lecturer has created a brilliant community that inspires so many young performers. The worst aspect was the cut within hour dance hours earlier this year.
It was perfect for my first year, no faults.

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.
More frequency and capacity of safety buses
Best aspects: The University of Leicester offers a supportive and inclusive environment that really helps students thrive. The lecturers are approachable and knowledgeable, and the...
