The best experiences have been meeting people, the lectures and seminars and going out in town. The worst have been the stress and the cost
- When navigating around campus as a fresher as much as I love it, there is room for improvement. I would only say more signs and more people on reception. A designated place that everyone knows where to go about any issues. I spoke with other peers and as much as the student fees room we have adopted as where to go if lost somewhere signposted would be beneficial. - We loved the accommodation ball would enjoy more events like this rather than one! - As much as the Brodie tower gives a great view in my opinion i believe it should be prioritised over others on campus for a refurb. Thanks, G
The city makes the university great. Students unions is small and lacks social facilities compared to many other unis such as leeds. It is also very expensive. The course is good but could be more practical based at times
It’s in the best city in the world!
love the buildings and the sports offer such a wide range, yet some lecture theatres are outdated such as the jane herdman
Best - social aspect and the campus Worst - the buses
How close the city and uni are - also the support from support.
The campus is pretty
best- it is a campus uni while being closer to the city centre worst - some professors seem not fit to be teaching
i love how social it is, that it's all one campus and there is always something going on. I don't think there are enough study spaces (group/social ones in particular), oftentimes it is really difficult to find a space unless you go early in the morning and get one.
There is a lot of support here so you never struggle finding advice
Its fine
Cool place, loads to do, worst aspects are that home doesn’t feel like home and uni doesn’t either sometimes, but with the right flat it’s fine. My flat climbed snowdon last week for fun.
Best aspect is the campus and the sports and societies on offer Worst aspect is often it’s not great being a commuter in terms of odd timetabling
I think the lecturers are great and there’s lots of good support for students with support plans. However, I think I would benefit from weekly (instead of fortnightly) seminars as I feel as if I do not get to properly engage in fortnightly seminars.
Best: the academics in my department Worst: fees and funding team


Overall great experience
It’s all okay
