Best part is that I feel no other university could have supported my mental and physical health better. Part of this was linked to falling ill from lack of affordability for necessities. Not only could the university provide a part time job for me they also have their free meal days three times a week. As for disability and inclusion team they efficiently sort out adjustments which can be communicated directly to them or through your lecturers. On my course teachers are efficient, adapt and will be as empathetic towards your situation as much as possible passing on extensions, spending one to one personal sessions to catch up outside of lesson time and are overall feeding directly off of what the students want to see to give different career experiences. From historic clothing to theatre to comic conventions. It's important for us to network with who we already have here aswell as the university handing out personal advice on where to search for jobs, build a CV, keep the freedom needed to self explore skills and teachers recommending students to their own links. Accommodation is affordable with decent procedures in place for maintenance, cleaning and security and they prioritise people with disabilities to continue using the accommodation options in year 2 and 3. I feel it could be improved is having staff on site who could help students commute to the 'local' AnE if they are in an emergency or can't afford transport. Even though they have funds to help with taxi costs if an emergency were to happen from 6pm onwards whether the student is in accommodation or on campus the ambulance service is known to be unreliable and physically moving someone disabled isn't easy. They have one wheelchair for the whole of Hughenden but there's no materials to support sudden loss of walking if a student still needed to travel for needing necessities or to continue study. Students are also limited in travel options if the AnE keeps them for a long period of time past midnight. It's at least a 40 minute drive there. So if you don't have family or friends around it's difficult.
I can honestly say I give BNU my full seal of approval. Starting here as a foreign student, far from home and full of nerves, could have been overwhelming, but it does not feel that way. From day one, I feel welcomed and supported. The lecturers feel human, approachable, and genuinely invested in us, not just as students, but as people. They guide us, challenge us when needed, and hold us accountable in a way that helps us grow. I can clearly see how much confidence and clarity I gain through this journey. The learning is practical, realistic, and connected to real life, which makes a real difference. If you are thinking about joining BNU, I would wholeheartedly recommend it. It is a place where you are supported to develop, encouraged to be yourself, and helped to move forward with purpose.
All things are best
A cool place I've been looking for a uni that is chilled, still learn a lot and feel welcomed. I don’t have the need to prove myself and that’s what I’m looking for
The university has private study areas aswell as library which is open 24/7 what we need more of is student fairs/career fair which is lacking.
Better place for rest on break time with coffe shop
Great place
Nothing much
To be very honest, I am really impressed with BNU. First of all, it supports students in the best way. Whenever I feel like stressed university helps me . And it is the best university. Improvement I think should be in calls availability. Like attending calls should be more early.

First gen student
Very good University with very friendly and supportive staff who are always willing to help.
It’s a great university with outstanding location and campus. It provides many facilities like on campus accommodation, library, lecture theatre halls and many more. I will definitely recommend it to the other students.
Good uni
Being an international student i felt the best things that i feel by myself and i should shout out about that are: it has good facilities for learning and the teachers especially in field of computer science are take feedback for each minor concept and if you question about something they will answer you until you get satisfaction. I want to change my schedule when it was possible but it wasn’t happened student union help me in this and I appreciate that but i think i should understand the structure of an institute maybe its my fault to put tension on them i am seeking apology for that. There are a lot of things in management and i should respect it. But this is the best institute that Ive joined before !!!

One of the best aspects of my university experience has been the supportive learning environment. The teaching staff are approachable and knowledgeable, and the course content is engaging and relevant, with opportunities to apply theory to real-world situations. The campus facilities and student societies also create a strong sense of community, making it a welcoming and motivating place to study. However, there are areas that could be improved. At times, communication around deadlines, assessments, or timetable changes could be clearer and more consistent. Additionally, increasing access to academic support during peak assessment periods and expanding wellbeing resources would further enhance the student experience. Overall, it is a great place to study, and with these improvements, it could be even better.
