I just started my studies at Northumbria University on September this year and by the looks of it, it seems to be going great with a brand new look at everything. This includes being in a huge university, which I was shocked on the first day here. I pretty much got lost on the way to each class. The lecture rooms are cozy and big. While the lectures here are quite friendly and surprisingly approachable and the fact that I am surprised the most is that we are assigned a personal tutor. This is great as if I have an problem of any sort there is a person I can readily talk to. Northumbria has many softwares which I can use for free and work with. The event, freebies are quite the exciting part. The library is spacious enough and quiet, not only the library but all of the buildings we can use free lecture hall to study freely. I love every fact about it till date and is excited for what the university holds for us in the upcoming years.

worst aspects I would say is how quickly money can be spent here especially if you don't have a job, the best aspects is definitely the social lifestyle and how many friends you can make.

My experience at Northumbria University has been overwhelmingly positive. The support and assistance from staff members have been outstanding. I particularly appreciate the 24/7 access to the library, which is an ideal place for studying and academic work. The university's facilities are top-notch, making it an excellent place to study. However, one aspect of my personal experience has been different from my home country. It's the practice of smoking within university premises. I come from a place where smoking and drinking inside university premises are strictly prohibited, so encountering people smoking on campus was new for me. I personally dislike smoking in public spaces, as it affects the ability to enjoy fresh air, especially within the university environment. I've heard that the effects of smoking go beyond just the immediate vicinity, impacting others who breathe in the smoke. As an international student, this was somewhat challenging for me. I believe that implementing restrictions on smoking within the university premises or providing designated smoking areas could address this issue and ensure that it doesn't negatively impact other students.

Psychology BSc (Hons)

University rating (5)

the facilities at my university are great and there is so much support on offer for so many different issues that students might be having. many of these support services are available 24/7 which is a huge help. the university could be improved by improving the wifi. sometimes students struggle to access the wifi even from inside the library and it sometimes make studying difficult. my university experience has also been hugely impacted by strike actions, and I think at times my teaching and support with assignments have suffered as a result
