Great uni
Well the library is good
As a new student at Teesside University, I've been impressed by the welcoming atmosphere and supportive community. The faculty is dedicated, and the range of courses provides diverse learning opportunities. The campus facilities are modern, offering a conducive environment for study. The emphasis on practical skills and industry connections enhances the overall educational experience. So far, my journey at Teesside has been positive, and I look forward to exploring more opportunities for personal and academic growth.
Not bad
Not the bestcplace
It good
Best- the support you get from your tutors is amazing, it's unusual you get such friendly, open minded and kind staff who also know their topic to a fault! Worst- the freshers/ student union events are only suited to young students living on campus and not enjoyable at all as a more mature student, especially as you cannot take children to any events on campus
I think it's good enough.
i love the events that the student union organises, i can meet many international new friends and make more friends from local population. i love the discounts and freebies too. but i wish there are more facilieties in the uni to have fun with like maybe a running track or a swimming pool or a martial arts gym. i wish it were better then i can enjoy my hobbies and not have to travel 50min away to do so
All people here are nice. If I have to say something bad, maybe we can have more formal real restaurants in school. Some facilities in library also need to be changed.

Its a really welcoming and comfortable university. I feel like I fit in fairly well compared to how I felt as Newcastle University. Teesside is convenient for me because I live in a nearby town so it meant that I didn't have to leave home but still have access to the degree I wanted to do
The university offers a huge range of support for all kinds of issues. I feel like I would always have somewhere to go if I needed help. Everyone here is so supportive and welcoming, and the staff and volunteers are great. The campus is clean and inviting, with plenty of facilities. There are lots of different study spaces and options for food and drink.
The tutors and staff are friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Student Accommodation is good for the price and close to shops. Unfortunately there aren't any recycling facilities. More greenery would be appreciated. It can feel a bit vulnerable walking through it when it's dark since it's so open to the public to also walk through. Student activities are heavily alcohol based which makes it hard to socialise if that's not your interest. Lack of variety in societies and those that exist aren't always involved/active, hard to navigate and actually attend as information about them is difficult to access.
Student support for disabled students at Teesside is second to none. Some buildings could due with being updated to be more accessible for those with mobility issues e.g wheelchair users but it is largely disabled friendly.


It is ok
Not too bad
