Location is good because it's right in the city centre and the services they provide are fantastic
Some nice stuff happens but campus is very small and there can be rats
It’s based on a nice location, near the grand central very good location for shopping and get what you need!!
The best part about Aston is that you do feel supported in both the university and the Student Union. The thing I believe they can work on is that I think they should have more in-person lectures.
Nothing
Working very hard in my course. The Lecturers are very skilled and professional in there job.
For my first time in such a complex University I find it quite interesting. And looking forward to explore.

First gen student
Its in a great place, many ways of getting there. facilities are good as with libraries as well as quiet areas, the student union is always doing great as you never hear people talking about it. student support is good this leads to a good student life however the main building looks a bit outdated if we compare it to the other buildings around
Good facility Professional academic management
Aston university is a great place for study because there have numerous areas in which you can study within different floors whether that be for self study or group study in the university itself. They also have a library which have different floors which cater to everyone’s needs. For instance the bottom floor is for interactive learning (group work) with a cafe to assist this. They also have computer area here in order to access online work which is very convenient. Then there’s also a private room provided which I believe is essential not only for group work but if you need a tutor for your course this is very convenient and a whiteboard is also provided there. In addition the second floor is more for quiet self study (this is my favourite part) the way in which this area has been designed is not only comfortable but allows you to complete work independently.
The facilities are accessible and the support students get is quick and very informative. The best parts of university is that it is close enough to the train station, Tesco and there are a lot of activities that happen all around came because of the different clubs and societies. The worst part of university is that sometimes finding your class rooms are not as easy. Especially when you have a class on the 7th floor, as it use to be easier with the app, however now you just guess and ask around to find your way.
SU prayer facilities are amazing. Need a bigger prayer hall. Online teaching even after lockdown. Lectures should not be pre-recorded from 2020. One lecture was even recorded in 2013, has the teaching style not changed yet? Did not use a lot of equipment due to covid but should have used it afterwards

great university that has adapted its facilities around the environment for example due to covid the past 3 years of exams has been 24 hour takeaway exams which are much better
Every thing just been good.
There are a vast variety of different resources at our disposal, each catering to our different needs.
The Best aspect is the course that I'm doing, it gives me enough flexibility to organise my life and business around it. The worst aspect is that the uni is so tiny that there aren't really any societies that I find interesting.

Good location, lots of services, high quality lecturers. More society events
Interesting learning material, helpful lecturers, lots of placement opportunities. More on campus learning rather than main material delivered online.
