Staff are very supportive, great that we can access all campuses. Good range of societies. Most support services are good and in working order others need more staffing to make them more effective and efficient. I would like to spend more time on campus learning rather than online lectures and our module teams feel very much the same! I wish the city south campus was open until midnight during exam seasons.
Great environment and great support.
There is lots of support from teacher if you need help with anything for studies or anything else

Very nice place honestly, good facilities and great help from stsff
My best experience at university is probably the independence and living by myself.
The workshop at 3B Heneage Street where the Stage Management course takes place is ideal for the course. Also, the people on the course all get on very well and are reliable friends.
One of the best things about the uni is the lecturers. I find that when you have lecturers in their late 20s or 30s, it's more comfortable when talking to them about concerns and issues I face. Another thing is that work is much easier as they can relate to you as they may have had the same problems with their work in the past. .
Worst - They don’t take in cash when I want to buy something from the uni Starbucks, Costa, Cafeteria, or restaurant. Only the student union shop lets you pay with cash. Best - Getting vouchers, support from lecturers.
The university is lovely, very clean and modern. Uni have started to do a cost of living menu to help ease the pressures which is really helpful. There is a lot of support for students- teaching staff are brilliant. Very supportive.

I love the lifestyle and how I have now developed a routine around campus. However commuting is a bit inconvenient but to stay in accommodation would be too expensive
Good space for people that come from abroad because they can feel at home
I like how the lecturers are very approachable and will help you as much as they can. It's a great campus and they provide many essentials in the campus shop. Worst experience would be when the lifts break down and you have to get to your class in ten minutes that is on the third floor. It isn't easy to go up those stairs and many students have found it to be very bothersome and tiring.

It's location makes it a quite and relaxing place to learn but there also isn't many options for lunch.

Great facilities
I think some of the things are okay but the accessibility especially for anyone with mobility issues is shocking and the support isn’t there despite it being advertised as being there. No communication at all and left to fall behind without support.
More prayer facilities as there is none in the harborne rd building which makes it difficult to go back and forth between seacole and harborne one. More space for muslim individuals to be able to make ablution as the some try to use disabled toilet but most are out if order.
Not a great uni for international students, as there's next to no financial support, scholarships or bursaries. The buildings are a bit plain. The teaching isn't amazing as the content is not extensive.
Diversity and inclusive

If there was more space to sit for lunch and in the library as I always struggle to find a seat
The timetabling is really inconvenient because I have something every day, I travel so this makes it difficult to get my work done when I have to travel all the time
