the university provides such great facilities and support for the students. however, there it is not what i expected it to student uni life. It might just be because the nursing campus is separate to the rest of the university. But it may be good if we had a few lessons on the high wycome campus so we could get a better insight into what life is like on that campus as there are more students our age, whereas in nursing there are a lot of older people
Nothing to improve. Perfect environment in all facilities of the university especially in the library. Seems the right place to have a degree!


Very nice campus with large library and nice places to study. Nightlife is really bad however, student union is good but a very different uni experience to those of a large city so don't come expecting that. Uni is right next to the centre of Wycombe so in a good place. Lots of student support initiatives and online support from staff for assignments and uni work
Is good experience with my institution ,however they don't sometimes consider the student needs
Close to hoke and the placement areas. Easy to getting to. Staff are friendly.

The facilities are modern and new. Despite efforts from some of the professionals , others teachers are not trained enough to be a lecturer. It feels as they don't prepare their lecture and the learning experience is often disappointing as they read the power point, which we could do ourselves at home.

lecturers and non academic staff are always ready to help. Lectures are easy to understand as the lectures are very thorough. Library is well equipped and facilities are easily accessible. Some of the Lecture rooms are a bit small but not too bad. Everything else seems ok for now but there’s always room for improvement.
I like the library Lots of computers
Supportive environment

It is a great university when it comes to the teaching support and the location but facility wise it doesn’t really look like a university. It feels more like a sixth form or college
Best aspect is the support you get from the staff, they’re all great and keen to help. Worst aspect is that my course is entirely online which I strongly dislike, but I still have access to the campus and all of its facilities.
The staff are very supportive
Support from all lectures and great colleagues. The atmosphere at University. Perfect location.
- Very accessible location - Incredible Student Union that actively focuses on improving the student experience - Facilities that are in place might occasionally have a little issues but they always get fixed when reported - The student experience is great, lots of FREE societies and many other career boosting activities and events
My course isn't based at the main campus and the campus that I'm based at is lacking in student facilities and without driving 45 minutes to the main campus we can't get involved in any student union activities, be members of the gym, or access the library. However, our tutors are excellent and I couldn't fault them.

The university's only drawback is its location. High Wycombe is a peaceful town with limited weekend activities, unlike London. While this is beneficial for students as they can focus on their studies, it's crucial to remember that students are not robots and require rest. To address this issue, the university or the Buckinghamshire council could organize free activities for students since the location cannot be changed. While the university offers societies for students, not all of them are well-managed. Therefore, it is recommended that each society be supervised regularly by its chairman and arrange various activities to help students alleviate stress related to assignments and exams, and to encourage them to join.
My best experience is the support I get from the student union was very great because they help me to come back to continue my study with the advice given to me by them. The worst is the time is being left out or ignored by the university when on maternity leave.
campus and lecture theatres are a bit outdated

Affordable or discounted Parking would be beneficial as I travel from Reading and Eden parking fees is expensive.

At the end of the summer someone told me that Brook Street was full and I needed to find another place to stay. Although 1/2 weeks later they sent email to several people offering rooms because they weren’t full as they said or expected. I was at other accommodation for 2/3 months before I was able to move to Brook Street. Good experience overall
