Sort:Latest reviewsI love the 24hrs library, our course doesn’t have many great spaces? We have the studio but it’s so far from our room in timberlake. There are no printers near our room either which is really annoying, we have to go all the way to the library and we don’t have much access to places with printers. The hot wire cutters have been “lost”? Just thought I’d mention. Also we only have 1 tutor so lack a variety of feedback and it means we can’t get other people’s opinions.

It’s great, no complaints

Supportive lecturers and emphasis on wellbeing and inclusion.
Facilities are never clean
Like the environment
Student union has a lot on and is very accessible. Communication from lecturers could be better
18-24 years
Very good experience in classes
Location isn’t the best
There's a lot of general support from both the staff and other students and there are a lot really wonderful facilities that we are given access to like the library. The only thing I can think of to be improved is the spotty wifi signal.
Invest in more useful things
Able to meet and work with other courses such as photography and costume. Timetabling usually clashes whenever we want to book studio time because there isn’t good communication between the booking team and timetabling.
Working with members of the students union and getting different opportunities in my course. Could work on more academic support with dissertations and handling stress with workload.
The best part of the BNU experience is the practical, career-focused approach to learning. The 'Big Deal' at the Student Union is a massive advantage, providing free access to sports and societies that build a great community. The tutors are very approachable and often bring real-world industry experience into the classroom, which makes the lectures much more engaging. Communication between departments could be more streamlined, as sometimes administrative responses take longer than expected. Additionally, increasing the variety of food options on campus and extending library support hours during peak exam seasons would greatly benefit the student body.
The staff are very welcoming and its a great learning environment!
I feel safe and comfortable around the campus and it always seems clean in general. The toilets are always stocked with period products as well which I really appreciate and there are a lot of areas to go and sit to chat with friends and have a break from studies.

Coming to BNU was the best decision I’ve made, I was nervous at the start but actually there was nothing to worry about the tutors and students made me feel really welcomed, I know where to go if I ever need advice, there is so many facilities at BNU for support and advice, I really feel like part off the BNU community. This is just the start for me and I can’t wait to see what my furture holds!
I like the way the tutors engage, the hours/days are great as I have to work around my job so this works well with my personal life. The tutors give really effective information to us which has really helped me in my assignments
