Sort:Latest reviewsThe organisation of the course is terrible. The support they give to students with a special learning needs are non existent. I have asked for slides BEFORE lectures and this seems impossible for them. They frequently change rooms, cancel lectures with minimum notice. The lecture room we are most commonly in is a "dance studio" so no tiered seating and no plug sockets, except at the very back. Lectures are not recorded and attendance is rarely taken. For one module there was no lecturer, just recycled content from last year with horrid audio quality. They don't invite me to Student Rep meetings even though I am a rep due to "admin error". They don't provide past papers at the library anymore as they couldn't get the lecturers to provide them. My personal tutors automated email response is a paragraph about emailing literally anyone else but her. So real approachable.
Just horrid , nothing good about the uni , it lacks everything possible and is full of horrid behaviour/attitudes and ethos. Waste of money, I would attended any other uni but this one, they are just below par on every aspect possible which is shocking since they charge the most they can , for such a high charge you’d expect a better time

Very positive. The tutors have been very helpful. The library is very easily accessible and the restaurant has been good. The classes when on are very ingormative.
just started but it seems to be a nice experience look forward to see that
Hard but good
Overall, I really enjoy my course but feels like the facilities and range of societies could be improved
Made loads of lovely friends!
Mostly positive experience but PT students do feel overlooked in terms of module planning/timetabling. As we are a small group.
Uni is very hard work. Can't cope at times but so glad I went
Really enjoyable, definitely made the right decision coming here.
The university is very supportive, always there if I need them. I am very grateful to be here
Everyone's really helpful and friendly, they really want you to succeed and you get plenty of great opportunities for socialising and developing skills
Very good university, but for the uni experience I should have moved away from home
Good, could have been better in certain areas
Could do more activities to socialise + get involved in
Bit disappointed compared to my friends at other unis
I've really enjoyed my time so far.

A building full of creatives, ran by them, too. Safe space for the LGBTQIA community, I'll miss it when I leave. All we need to improve is filling the building with the personality of the people.. Get rid of the carpet tiles and college walls, fill them with uni work etc.
In person, hands on workshops and industry experience are at the heart of all we do. I love it.
At the surface, Carlisle is a dump. Dig beneath that, and there's a passionate art scene about to brim to the surface.
