Best: lecturers encourage discussion and are constructive in feedback. I have not yet started work placements but the support available is looking promising

Close to uni which is very useful, but room does not have best view, and booking process could have been far smoother to allow real view of room before making a decision.

The course is taught in person which is better. You have 4 hours per subject per week and you can contact lecturers at any time

You pay £800 per month which is just absolutely ridiculous. There isn’t even a Tv in the kitchen

Best aspect is the subjects and the cases within them and the worse is the essays

This hall is great because it’s cheap but however it’s on a steep hill which is a pain

Course content is typically taught in-person but there is always an online recording available for every single lecture for those who are unable to make it for whatever reason. In-person practicals/field trips etc always come with digital materials to accommodate those who are physically unable to participate due to a disability or an absence. Days are never completely overloaded with lectures, they’re always spread fairly well throughout the week. With a mixture of early/late starts, some shorter days and some longer days, I never find my weeks to feel boring or repetitive. I personally would prefer to have more contact time with tutors but I feel like there is still a good amount of scheduled time with them throughout the year.

My biggest worry when moving into halls was noise levels- I feel the stereotype is that halls are always poorly constructed with thin walls but I don’t have a single complaint when it comes to these halls. There is little to no noise audible from neighbours. The rooms are fitted with an efficient and quick heating system so you’re basically never left freezing in your dorm. The rooms are some of the most generously sized I’ve seen compared to any other uni dorm I have viewed personally- and there’s plentiful storage space already provided for you. Kitchen facilities and space are great, I personally find the kitchen has made for a comfortable, welcoming spot for friends and flatmates to congregate and get to know each other too! I feel your safety and comfort are taken pretty seriously here too, it’s incredibly easy to contact maintenance for any reason, plus regular fire alarms, and a good amount of security between your dorm and the outside. It’s super easy and straightforward to change rooms if you unfortunately don’t get along with your flatmates too. Views from most of the accommodations overlook the mountains and it’s such a stunning view to wake up to.

Taught in class and really personal, plenty of contact hours and the lecturers are helpful with everything Worst-there isn't anything bad about my course I could name

Signal/ phone reception could be better but its Wales Halls is close to everything you might need, has a on site bar and shop which are both well priced

A lot of networking opportunities for Mini Pupillage. Small size class that allows for quality lecturer-student engagement. Course contents adequately covered in lectures and tutorials. I look forward to more internship opportunities and placement schemes.

Ready access to part time job is a bit of a challenge for international student, and I believe the majority of the student population, and this is because the town is relatively small and commercial activities might not be as vibrant as other city centers

Privacy and and cleaned sanitation regulations are ensured.

Best - Clinical Placement Worst - Interprofessional Modules

WiFi is abysmal

All of my sessions are in person and very engaging. The lecturers are very involved and extremely helpful. The timetable isn’t too busy where it feels stressful, and there are enough contact hours to ensure that I’m still engaging with content regularly. There is a wide range of module options, and I would suggest they allow us to chose more than one optional module.

I loved that St Mary’s is very well managed, and all the staff are very friendly. It is in a quieter location which I preferred, however there was a lack of student facilities that were otherwise available in the other student village - Ffriddoedd. I would have liked to have had more activity hubs where societies could meet.

Best: Friendly and supportive faculty members, good curricilum

Haven’t really heard anything about placements yet, most of the lecturers are amazing but sometimes I feel like they can begin to rush their lecture and I can struggle to keep up when this happens
