Positives: I do love how spacious the campus is and how each of the buildings have their own space where you can get some quiet time if you need to or just to take a break. Outside, there are plenty of spaces that you can sit on if you wanted to get some air instead.Also that a lot of the buildings are close enough that you don't really have to travel much of a distance. Another positive is that the university isn't far from where I am currently staying in so it's only around a 5 minute walk to get to the main campus. It's also not too far from the city centre so you can just walk if you were craving a certain food or want to hang out with friends. The support in place for students can be easily accessed which is nice. Improvements- I will say that it is important that before you get your timetable, it's a good idea to get a sense of where everything is on the campus. Even the specific facilities that you'll mainly spend most of your time in during your studies, it's good to get a sense of where you'll need to go because sometimes the directions are too clear.
- I don’t feel like there’s a lot around to do but that isn’t the university’s fault. - Very communicative so that I know what I’m doing at all times and don’t get stressed about the unknown.
Best is the campus feel and location - great to city centre and bus train etc Worst is the level of stress on the course - it is an extremely difficult course & I feel a lot is expected of us which causes alot of stress & anxiety

The library is nice

They are familiar with all sorts of support like mental health, medical conditions etc. My experience with personal tutor hasn’t been as often and encouraged much as I would want. It’s ideal to meet for different aspects of the course like sketchbook work, digital images etc at least daily.
Good location and range of courses. Great careers team and programmes in order to put on your CV.
Location of campus is perfect. Close to town and all accommodations is very useful
Getting a job seems to be impossible for me.

We have some amazing support all around, in regards to getting help on assignments, career information and general well being support. The campus has a great look and feel. I am not a fan of the physical library building, it is quite dated and is in need of major improvement. The food services are also not fully inclusive nor reasonably priced. The individual facilities for subject specific studies, i.e. labs, equipment etc is amazing. Also more places to to study would be perfect.
The environment and the ambiance is great but sometimes because of the weather going to class starts to feel like a task

The best thing would be the beautiful campus of DMU.
It’s such a welcoming community and the lecturers are great and really care about what they are doing! I also really love all the green it has considering it is in the centre of the city. They could have nicer accommodations as I have to commute this year (cost) and provide more support for people that aren’t struggling (people with disabilities are very support, thankfully) but reach out to students that could get overlooked
DMU is a wonderful university for both international and home students because it has a good environment for students. DMU can be improved by recruiting more tutors.

Beautiful campus and very close to the city centre, it's a perfect place for students. I'm really enjoying my time studying here and can't think of anything this university should improve on.
It is the best place for the students to study and build their future and. University fullfill all the requirements which a student needs. And the location of this university is the best as compared with other universities and tbh university is complete. Nothing is to improved everything is best

The staff are more helpful and spends time with us when ever we need help or ask for help.
It's an ok university. Some of the lecturer's have teaching styles which aren't very understandable and when it comes to things such as events they're not really marketed and such.

Apart from my personal student life, the facilities are good and clean, location-wise seems manageable as I walk to it. Overall, I'd say it's alright. Finding friends seems the part I struggle at, maybe that's a me issue but If I look at it in a different way, it has its benefits. What I'd advice new people to uni life is that they find friends to build connections, stay positive no matter the situation, and what I think is most important is to not get depressed over the student life as it can have a big impact generally on you.
I'm never going to get used to the English learning system. Maybe its just a international barrier and not the learning system I am used to. My general opinion is that the English learning system is not for me.
I really recommend this student accommodation. It's in a discreet, quite, and nice neighbourhood area. The walk distance to DMU in general is 10 to 15 mins walk. There are food stores and fast food shops which is a plus. If you drive a car the parking street area is good and there is even a garage parking area as well. The rooms in the accommodation are nice and clean, room size is depending on what contact agreement you sign for. Property management is good and fast, reporting and solving problems happen really fast and convinient. Wifi is free, fast, and good. Apart from all of that, If you are an international student and do not have any relatives or someone close to you in the UK you cannot pay in installments, thus the whole payment needs to be payed and the numbers are not small. So prepare financially.
