The campus itself is amazing, a really nice place which feels like a community. The facilities are all great and the location itself is really good and if there's not something really close then you know you can get a train which won't take long at all to get you where you need to be. The University has so many opportunities to meet new people and socialise. The ref is a great place to eat, the points system takes a minute to figure out but once you've got it you've got it. I personally think that point system needs to be adjusted slightly as its too much of a squeeze on weekdays and then I feel like I'm just wasting points on the weekend. Maybe giving a certain amount of points to use or lose in a week rather than in just one day.
Love this uni
Everything her is nice other than the refectory food. This would be five stars across the board if the food wasn’t hit or miss every day
The food in the refectory isn’t great and there’s not much option. But the overall university is very good and the staff are lovely, just wish it was a bit quieter at night time
Great small community where we all in the same boat, making it like you are valued and an opportunity to learn new things and become the best version of yourself. However, the social and sport culture is a bit hostile in my opinion. They encourage socials so much but at the end of the day they are based on pure drinking alcohol (even drinking encouraged by the sports teams). This is amazing for someone who loves to drink alcohol, but for the people who are abstemious or just don’t enjoy that culture makes them feel left out. In addition the sporting culture it’s just a battle of egos. The uni is advertised as a sports uni but when you actually head down to the sports facilities and open your eyes you’ll realise that opportunities aren’t equal for everybody. Groups have already been formed around teams and that already means that there’s already at least 30 positions you cannot make because a group of “popular students” will boycott you and make sure they are in the team and not you even if they don’t put the effort. In addition, they’ll feel like they have the right to talk down on you and because “they are already in the meeting without even trying” feel like they won’t be in any trouble. This can be seen as just “the students fault” but it is also the university’s fault for allowing this. Instead of spending the right budget on what matters, e.g., hiring coaches for the sports teams to ensure a good and equitable sports environment, they rather spend the money on something else and let immature students run the clubs and be like “it’s up to them whatever they want to do”, causing other students who just want to have a good time to not be able to.
Nice location, feels safe. Accommodation not the best, takes time to fix things.
I only really wish the accommodation rooms were all equally refurbished and overall bigger with better sound ventilation.
The best thing about my University is the campus location and the campus itself. The architecture of the University makes it so fascinating to study and explore. The student union service can be more improve and more useful for the students to make the student life more batter and enjoyable in the University campus.
Being accessible for almost everything, it’s a good place to study. The environment surrounding the campus is warm and the students, staffs are lovely. With all the fun activities in your classes, with fun lecturers and lots of event going around campus. I am grateful to be a student here in st Mary’s far away from my home. Thanks.
The staff seems to really care about us.
Entry for student union freshers week needs to be cheaper then I feel more people would attend. Need parking for students! I have missed lectures because of parking. Good support from lecturers.
Good facilities and location. Student parking for commuters needs to be improved, canteen is also quite expensive.
Parking permits around roads. Not enough parking.
Nice

The best is having the church, feels like a safe space.. feels like you have to chase to be heard with mental health support.
