Since I came here to uni of Sunderland, for me it was a life changing process. It`s good to be a student. Everyone is friendly and open to new things.
I am enjoying uni very much. The lectures are mostly engaging and the computer related info that I have learnt so far has been great. The most important advice I would give would be to make sure that the course you are wanting to take will take will get you to where you want to be.
I love uni, made lots of new friends and I dont have alot of uni work on so its a little easier to balance my time!
The city and uni here are amazing. In the area i live in there is a park nearby and the town centre is 5 minutes away and there is also a fitness centre and the cinemas are near my area so i would say that there is a lot to do in the area i live in
It is an unique experience. I like the fact that we do a lot of practical work at school . You just have to be brave enough to apply, then enjoy the student amazing life! Go to Sunderland
Throughly I enjoy it, I would recommed it to future students to help others, to encourage others and it would be just fine. More students will be in this way ecouraged to come to this university.
So far it`s been good and challenging at the same time. Been here just a month si I don`t have much experience. My advice to students coming here to study is that they should come prepared because the environment itself is a bit challenging.
Sunderland is great! ive been brought up in sunderland and even if i was to win the lottery i dont think i would move out of it!! It has a reat nightlife and also gives you plenty to do during the day. i think anyone would like to be here.
I am mostly enjoying the university in all the ways, but I wish I would have more opportunities to voluteer, for example at an anima shelter or something like this.
University of Sunderland is a good beginning for my future life. The town is a little bit too small, but I enjoy my student life as well as I can.
Uni is great. All lecturers give all different and needed information. Information I would give is that anything you need you should go to your tutor. They would be supportive and will explain to you how beautiful uni life is.
Definetly know what you want to do and be focused. It`s not an opportunity for free money (student loan). You have to pay it back. From experience, rushing into university isn`t worth it if you`re unsure of what you want to do, trust me, take a year to figure it out.
Well it`s totally interesting. I have some nice experiences, but city life is not engaging. Keep your mind open and focus on your expertise and time will fly by.
Course is good but personally I would like to see more medieval studies on offer. Lecturers were always friendly and went out of their way to help you.
Uni of Sunderland needs to improve the career helping point. Uni did not advertise its careers service very well. I would like to have seen more support available eg someone to check my CV, or chat about my future career with.
Studying at university of Sunderland has been an experience I will never forget in my entire life, because it has exposed me to so many things both academically and socially. So for those students out there thinking of coming here, I will advice you to come because is a place to study, has good lecturers, learning facilities and friendly students and environment.
Very enthusiastic and motivating, helpful and assist with problems. I had an operation and they were great with time and advice.
I enjoy uni a lot. I met loads of new people and it`s great socially as well as academically. I would advise youngsters who what to choose a good university to get themselves involve in enerything. Don`t be shy as is no point in not letting the world discover you.
It has been a dissapointing experience for me, since the town is really depressing. The Sunderland University is ok as a studying place, but if I have to choose again, I won`t come in this city.


Sunderland is a small town and not as big as newcastle but there is a indoor shopping centre and loads of shops outside, there is also a leisure centre and a aquatics centre, the beach is in close proximity and if into going out on a night there is alot of bars and restaurants
