I’d appreciate it if they toned it down with the almost constant events
The facilities and overall environment of the University is amazing. Nothing but welcoming and caring. I do feel that other Universities offer more guest lectures and studio trips than BNU but this falls more upon the course than the Univeristy.
Our knowledgeable lead tutor is continually supportive and approachable. The workshop facilities are great, we are looking forward to using the 3D printers

The area of High Wycombe is a little bit rougher than I hoped but I understand it is outside of the university's control. This includes the rough looking buildings, litter, and homeless people. However, there are many interesting shops, cafes and facilities close by that make student life much more appealing. The university has a wide variety of resources that help me immensely, such as apple macs, camera equipment and lighting equipment. Furthermore, the student union and senior residents do a lot to help people who only just arrive at the university, which made moving into my accommodation much more comfortable. The lecturers are also very supportive and listen to what I have to say, assisting me happily with whatever I need course related. There's also a wide variety of societies which allow me to establish friendships with others with similar interests to me, making my life as a student much less stressful and more pleasant.
Best: - cheap food/drink - small campus Worst: - no parking - no green space on campus - disorganised course

BNU is a good environment, however there is a lack of social activities in the area. The course itself is well taught and lead and the standards of BNU is brilliant, the Students Union is proactive to issues and open to make change with what is raised to them. The location is in a nice area, with easy access to London central. Accommodation cannot be faulted and issues are reacted to appropriately. There is always help on hand no matter the issues and the Uni encourage students to reach out. Including them making courtesy calls to students to ensure that they are well. Choosing BNU was the best decision I made.

As a current student at Buck New University, I can say that it is a great place to study. The university provides all the basics necessary for the courses you are studying. The campus is well-equipped with modern facilities and resources that are easily accessible to all students. What makes Buck New University stand out is its Student Union. Although it may not be the best, it is far from being the worst. Whenever I had an issue, the Student Union was always there to help me out. They never swept my concerns under the rug, which was a relief. The accommodation prices and buildings are dependent on where you choose to stay. The cheapest option may not be the best, so it is crucial to choose wisely. Overall, Buck New University is an excellent place to study, with a few areas where it could improve. The university provides ample opportunities for students to learn and grow, and the Student Union is always there to help when needed.

Best, there were number of freshers week, party, free pizza, sandwiches and tea. Which were organised by the student union. The teaching and students are very friendly not bullying. Everyone are very friendly and welcoming. Making sure there is sport area like when you’re free you can play chess or basketball hops. Free snacks at certain hour and day.
Everything it’s close to the UNI like hospital living shopping centre
The best aspect is the facilities that the university had to offer for the course as the simulation manikins are very cool as they have an heart beat ,able to cry and make it very realistic for us to practice on them.The worst aspect could be that the university is to small for the number of students that attend. During lunches it’s hard to find places to eat and have to eat in class rooms as the cafeteria is quite small.The university could improve by making more places for students to study and eat and relax between lessons.
I am studying at a distance so I don't know what the student life/experience is like. The lecturers are enthusiastic about their subject and the campus is easy to travel to.
There is lots of support that is being offered to students


The best aspect is the great education level and learning and the facilities are awesome especially what the students union provides us from all the deferent activities The worst experience it is the location of the university it is a bit boring town and a bit far from london and it is a bit expensive to live in
The best aspect of my course it is one of the best courses for the incoming years and it is a fun one to study The worst aspect is the assignment deadline are a bit to close to each other
The price is a bit too much for a student and the location is a bit far from any of the major stores and restaurants
