A good time joining clubs and doing trips, settling into independent life was easier than expected but still very homesick. flats are not as everyone thinks and can be more complicated than moving in nextdoor to your next BFFL! good environment and some nice people

library is 10/10 lots of computer rooms and lecture rooms available for studying or group work

AST meetings for our course are around placement times so make sure we're on track which is good wellbeing/welfare team are very accommodating and lovely to chat to about any issues

its good at holding events for everyone and good food and drink services as well as GIAG events at good prices

busy, easy to get to with frequent buses and cheaper student tickets, big with lots of shops and shopping centres

range and variety of clubs and societies at different levels. womens cricket club is incredible! lovely ladies, the SU really looks out for their teams

most - spread out across the week, easy communication with lecturers and tutors least - placements are 4 weeks which is fine but the distance to travel to placements is quite far for some people and with both the autumn and summer placements they overlap with other activities i want to do and so am not able to as placements are wholly compulsory

compulsory placements in schools across the year plus offering opportunities elsewhere for work experience across the school age. lots of career and education workshops to gain different skills

very modern, good security, ensuite, lots of storage facilities and nice kitchen area

It has been good. Although placements and work load have been quite stressful the university offer many services to help you deal with the stress and the lecturers are always happy to guide you with any essay.

Very Good.

Support is good. I can make meeting with my tutor at any time and I can drop into see lecturers and they always have the time to talk to you.

I do not get involved in the students union as I don't feel like they make it clear about how you can get involved.

Not great. For night life it is very limited in comparison to other cities and the university is quite far out of the city centre, but if you are looking for a more peaceful university life then it is a good university. There are also regular buses to go into town so getting there is never an issue.

I am part of a club and I enjoy it very much. There is a wide variety of clubs which the uni have to offer and they are not hugely expensive to join either.

I like the lecturers and how well they get to know you. I feel like they know who I am and I am not just one of 80 pupils on the course. They always have time to talk and help you with any issues you might be having. I don't like the organisation. Things often seem very unorganised and not planned to the best it can be.

They have lectures and a module in third year about how to get a job, how to interview correctly and build your CV. We also have placements in each year that cover a large demographic to ensure we have experienced all environments in a primary school.
