De Montfort University International College

Best is there’s loads of places to work and chill out as well as some great teachers. I’ve met some of amazing teachers and fun and interactive.

The best parts of my university experience: The opportunity to learn from experts, access to amazing resources, and being in an intellectually stimulating environment. The diversity on campus, with people from all over the world, makes it really enriching. Also, the chance to be more independent and responsible – you really learn to manage your time and organize yourself. And of course, there are tons of networking opportunities that can help you with internships, jobs, and future connections. The worst parts: The stress and pressure can be overwhelming sometimes – tight deadlines, exams, and assignments can lead to burnout. The cost of education is another big issue – tuition fees, accommodation, and living expenses are really high, and it can be hard to manage financially. Also, in bigger universities, it can sometimes feel like you're just a number, and getting personal attention from professors can be tough. Lastly, while the academic side is solid, there isn’t always enough practical learning – more hands-on experience or real-world projects would be helpful. How things could be improved: Better mental health support would definitely help students deal with stress and pressure. Making education more affordable would also be a huge improvement, whether that’s through scholarships or reducing tuition fees. Smaller class sizes or more seminars would make a big difference too, as it would allow for more personal interaction with professors. More career services, internships, and job fairs would also be great to help students transition to the workforce. Finally, integrating more practical skills into the curriculum would give students more real-world experience and make the education feel more relevant to their future careers.
