The student report is great and really accessible for all different types of issues and problems you may need. Some of the buildings look quite dull, I would like if the lecture rooms had more windows.
Campus is easy to access , however traffic is a problem as well as parking on campus. lecture halls are very close together making it easier to look around campus. student hub is hard to find as have had people asking me where it is maybe it needs to be more obvious.

Best-library resources worst- night life
Its a good place to learn but some lecture theaters dont have tables making it hard to take notes
The variety of courses are great and have a great opportunity to learn new things. I feel for me personally joining late that lecturers could send me work that I may have missed out on.

The people here are quite diverse in not only culture but also come from all walks of life. It has been great to be able to connect and get to know so many new people as at University of Hull, though classes, clubs and society, they make the interactions so seamless. The saddest part is that I only have 1 year here, nevertheless this past year has truly been amazing! I found everything I came here for, the people, the fun times, the learning experience and the Hull atmosphere.

Nearing the end of my first year at the University of Hull, I can safely say that I have no regrets coming here. Its a great uni with great, knowledgeable staff who both enjoy what they're doing and want you to succeed as well as great facilities for learning, including the laboratories, aquarium and extensive library. The campus is a good mix of small with everything you'll need within walking distance and open with places to sit and study or talk with friends. Whilst I haven't used much of the student union, from what I have seen and used, it's a key asset for students and even has a Spar (although perhaps overpriced for a shop in the heart of a campus) and a Wetherspoons. Whilst the Spar can be expensive for more general grocery shopping, Tesco Express, Lidl and Sainsburys are a relatively close 20 minute walk and if you live on campus, supermarket delivery such as ASDA is easily available. I lived in the Courtyard for my first year and it's a nice place to live. I shall be returning to the Courtyard for my second year. And whilst I haven't lived in any of the other university-owned accommodation, I've heard good things about both Taylor Court and Westfield. Overall, the University of Hull is both a great university to study at as well as a great, comfortable place to live. I would definitely recommend.

It’s in a really cheap city, and it’s not so big you get lost easily. The campus is pretty small which I love, and there’s plenty to do near campus or a short bus ride away. It could be improved with student support, especially in later years. Also a lot of things on campus are really expensive.
The course was fantastic and so were the lecturers, however the student union did not help students during accommodation crisis
UNI is overall okay

It's a great place to study because hull is a quiet city and it's very calming. Also the university campus is huge and the library has many study rooms to study in and just multiple study spaces available, if you want to change your environment to work in. However would could be improved with the university is the support, as students have to take time out to fill out forms and wait a couple of days to get a response or there mis communication.
There’s a lot of accommodation surrounding the university so owned by University quarter and other private landlords so regardless of whether you’re staying on or off campus you’re close by and at most a 15min walk away The university of Hull is in a quiet town not thats not as active as a bigger universities but has a great sense of community especially when it comes to international students the university is very accommodating. If you’re ever struggling or need support the lecturers are really welcoming and the student union is very helpful and will support you or give you any information you need. The only thing I would complain about is the Town of Hull - in terms of not having much to do however that’s my personal preference since I’m from Birmingham which has quite a lot going on.

Amazing help from lecturers, always message back quickly and available for meetings. A lot of online work is given meaning there’s a lot of information to help me learn. Access to free resources through university accounts. Not too much of a big campus so it’s easy to find my way around. Good resources and massive library meaning you can always get a computer or table to study on. Everyone is lovely and helpful. A lot of extra clubs you can join and multiple sport clubs which all come with social nights. A lot of social media coverage so you’re always up to date on what’s happening. Wetherspoons on campus and a club which are both affordable. A good place to make new friends.
Great friendly people and staff, courses are interesting and engaging

The university is very accepting when it comes to mental health and personal issues as you can take a year out your studies or mitigate your assessments and the university understands. Also Hull is a nice city and the University has a sense of community, especially the student life and everyone can relate with each other. However, what needs to be improved is, that you have to work a little harder and fill out forms and research yourself for applying for help for the university like advice etc.
All my lectures have been delivered properly and if you miss some they have always been recorded as well. This uni has been extremely helpful when offering no detriment policy’s and extensions. And I enjoy the nightlife/ bar life at the minute I hope I can get back to it all soon
I can only speak for midwifery but the dept is absolutely shocking. Ran by aggressive leads. Totally about clawing the money in. Tutor to student bullying is rife. The trust actually teach the midwifery

Hull is a very dry city. Not much to do around here. Best parts on campus are the spar, the uni library and the medical building.
Best parts are placement and clinical skills which is very hands on. Worst parts are lectures and pbl.
Best thing is that the room is spacious and it comes with washer and dryer. Worst part is the kitchen and silverfish infestation.
