Travel into university is difficult. It’s located far out of the city with little student housing close to the campus unless you live on campus. Travel links could be improved It’s a small uni where everyone knows everyone. The support is great and it has a great family feel.

The lecturers are always happy to help and the student committee are there for everyone. However, it can sometimes we hard to reach people through emails

Best aspects of the uni include that it is a small university so there is more support and smaller classes Worst aspect would be the location as is far from the town and most big supermarkets are far away
Very inclusive and supportive university - it is excellent that Marjon caters for students from all backgrounds and that they offer flexible options for part-time study. Improvements? More options for distance learning and enabling students to access lectures/seminars from home.
Really nice environment and a lot of studying areas open 24/7.
Student union need to be more lively
The chaplains are the best thing about the university. They’re so friendly and welcoming. They make you feel like family. Student support could massively be improved though because they weren’t there for me and it would’ve made a big difference.
Great student support and good student life Parking
Very inclusive with a wide range of ages.
the best aspects of my university is the student care, the support for all students is fantastic and readily available at all times. subject mentors are extremely helpful, the student support hub is fantastic and reliable, there are plenty of quiet and safe places for students and there is 24/7 care for those of us living on campus. the worst aspect of Marjon is the shop (marjon stores). despite this being a new build for the university, it is quite significantly more expensive than most supermarkets, and for the first week or two of it being open you could only pay with contactless card, and there is still no option to pay with cash. Marjon is also located away from the city centre, which for me is amazing and makes me feel safer, as well as ensuring the campus is much quieter, but i can see why some students wouldn’t like this. overall marjons is a fantastic university.
I love that it's a small campus, I feel at home there and anyone can be a great support system. I wish there was better accomodation, sometimes it can feel very cramped in the flats and the houses for the amount of people that live in them.
I love the size of the university and how you don’t feel tiny, you feel like your voice can be heard. A improvement would be to allow people who stay on campus even if they do not have a placement in a certain term to allow them to purchase a parking permit.

Great course and supportive staff at the uni.
the best is they always fix what’s broken and always offer support in any aspect when you need it the worst is they’re quite slow on it support and some of the buildings are gross and run down
Amazing campus community. A lot of support available. Lots of opportunities and facilities to try.
I absolutely love studying at plymouth marjon university. It has a close community feel, where you are more than just a student number; it’s fun, clean, vibrant and is set in a great location One thing which I feel could be improved is the facilities on site, and how there is a slight lack of affordable shops on sight
I love studying at the uni, the lecturers are so helpful and really go out of their way to help.
MarJons location is absolutely fabulous. The courses on offer are fantastic, and the lecturers are always wanting to help. Uni size is very small as well so you know everyone. It does feel like a second home to me and I feel very welcomed and comfortable here

Marjon university really tries hard to make university a home and a safe place for us to continue our studies as well as help from student union too provide us with fun social opportunities especially the big one being May Ball!
I really enjoy my course, and highly appreciate the time and effort that our lecturers put in to enable us to get the best opportunities we can. I wouldn't change the structure of the past 3 years
Halls was really good and I had an en-suite room which I felt was priced fairly. Only thing was that sometimes the WiFi wasn't perfect
