DMU provides great facilities, opportunities and unbiased support to the students. in fact, this is a diverse university where students from different backgrounds can study here and make their future bright. DMU was, is and will always be my first choice. I am lucky to study in this university and increase my knowledge in various fields.
The campus is very central in leicester with the town centre just down the road with chopping centres like the highcross and market. The sport facilities aren’t the best however the coaches are really good at what they do and know what they’re talking about when it comes to improving for whichever sport it may be.
I love it here
I had trouble getting to be part of the community in my first couple years, due to the pandemic, but my third year social experience has been great despite this. I have also had a few accommodation troubles. But my course is good and the teachers are so supportive, the best I've ever experienced. The facilities for my course as a third year are great, but I think the remote software could use a bit more work to make it more accessible. My interaction with the student union has been brief but when I have spoken to them they have been super helpful and receptive to any issues I'm having.
I love my uni because of its modern facilities and dedication to art , the newly built Vijay patel building has incredible technology and equipment that help me to learn and develop my work . I also really like the library which has lots of comfy study spaces and full of books and magazines helpfully categorised for student use , the canteen is also connected to the art building and hosts a variety of cuisine at reasonable prices . I believe the uni could be improved by offering more student union activities during the day , I am someone who does not drink and most union activities are based around pub life and nightclubbing , being able to meet people who are also interested in crafts or going to activities which offer life advice and preparation for my future would be exciting such as cooking classes .
The campus is close to the city centre, but not so close that its overwhelming and the main campus is beautiful. Super convenient and right next to a couple of tescos. Furthermore, the people around are very welcoming and friendly. Where I once used to be anxious and shy, I now find myself far more confident in talking to people when I need help. All in all, I'm happy to have chosen DMU!
I didn't make many friends due to corona and the student union doesn't seem to be very good, the societies I was in were a bit difficult to interact with and didn't really do very much. However the teaching is excellent and the facilities are great, I love the look and feel of the uni and the staff are brilliant with their support and knowledge.
I love the experience so far, it feels great to be around people that are interested in the same stuff! There’s a lot of opportunities for the future as well as the assignments are interesting and enjoyable.

Covid meant we missed out on some of the all important first year information and experiences, which impacted further years. I've enjoyed the close proximity of all the buildings and facilities, which often aren't available at other more spread out uni campuses.

I love my studies here and the opportunities the university offers to students. The support available for students at the university is exceptional. Lecturers are all very nice and considerate of students. DMU also has a great variety of opportunities outside of the educational side, such as societies and other groups which offer many more opportunities. I have enjoyed my time here at DMU and would recommend it to anyone interested in attending University.
The University staff supports it's students greatly. An improvement that would be suggested is to update computers in all Departments.
Perfect teaching, always will to answer questions at any time. Variety of support is available if needed

The campus is located in the heart of Leicester and is home to a diverse student population from over 100 countries. DMU offers a wide range of facilities and services to its students, including accommodation, sports facilities, a health centre, and a career centre.
I would strongly advise anyone considering pursuing their education to choose De Montfort University, where I am a first-year Computer Science student. The institution provides excellent academics, a diverse community, and a wealth of chances for both personal and professional development. The professors in the Computer Science department are well-versed in their subject, enthusiastic about it, and always willing to assist students. They give us access to state-of-the-art technology and accessible online materials so that we can succeed in our studies. I have found the different nature of the campus community to be a rich experience. I've made a lot of new acquaintances from other countries and backgrounds, and it's been interesting to hear about their experiences. The unique nature of the university community has been a fascinating experience for me. It has been fun to learn about the experiences and viewpoints of my many new acquaintances from other countries and backgrounds. In contrast to the other features of the university, which I gave five stars, I have given De Montfort University's student life three stars. Although there are many organisations and groups for students to join, I believe that the campus's social scene may be improved. In particular during the pandemic, I have discovered that there are fewer chances for mingling and meeting new people outside of class. Yet, the university is making a concerted effort to enhance the student experience in this area. Overall, and especially for those interested in computer science, I wholeheartedly suggest De Montfort University. The professors are competent and helpful, the students have a great academic experience, and the diverse community creates a special and enriching learning atmosphere. I have had a generally favourable experience despite the drawbacks of student living and am eager to continue my studies here.
there could be more study spaces for individual study. studios available for rehearsals are in good condition.

The campus is beautiful with such a variety of different types of buildings. The teaching is always excellent, but I think it could be improved by giving students some more help with essay writing for people who are a bit unsure of how to write at university level. The student life in the city is amazing with a range of bars and clubs, with activities all around, but the student Union itself could be improved massively as it never seems busy. It’s a great place to get your degree and live the student life with all accommodations close to university campus and the city centre less than 10 minutes walk.

The campus is close to the city centre. The buildings close around 9 which is annoying, but good thing the library is open 24/7
It's very diverse, and it's a great opportunity to meet people from all over.
