University rating (4)

UEA is such a lovely place, because the campus feels like itss own city. Then when you go to the actual city which is only a bus ride away it is so beautiful.

Best is the great community and support around it makes me feel like home. Worst probably not enough financial support for international students going on placement.

Queen's University Belfast

MSc Ecological Management and Conservation Biology

University rating (4)

Queen's university Belfast is a very friendly place to study at. The campus is lovely and small so it is easy to find your classes. It is also in a great location, close to restaurants, cafes and city centre. There are a variety of volunteer opportunities and sports clubs to be part of, making it easier to meet friends and to join the student life at Queen's. One thing I've noticed is that Queen's is disorganized in terms of administration based tasks. As an international student, it was unfair to only release the graduation date a month in advance. I have family coming from overseas and this is far too late to try and organize accommodation, flights, etc. The support for student mental health also needs to be improved.

Queen's University Belfast

Law LLB (Hons)

University rating (4)

It would be nicer if the university accommodations are all closer to campus, as BT1 and BT2 are both quite far and uphill to walk.

FIRST YEAR

University of East Anglia UEA

Environmental Sciences with a Placement Year BSc (Hons)

University rating (4)

Best aspects: having the green campus and lake available is great to go on walks and clear my head. I enjoy that the accommodation is so near to campus facilities and the campus is very walkable. The student union puts on great events that cater to everyone of all interests and ages. The availability of recorded info on blackboard is great when reviewing information that you find difficult - you can go back to the spoken explanations of the lecturers and utilise other linked resources with direct relevance. One of my favourite aspects of the uni is the library - it’s a good change of scene from studying in my room, especially the headspace area which I discovered recently. Non academically my favourite aspect is the music events both in the lcr and the waterfront. Worst Aspects: The city isn’t really within walking distance and the bus pass is expensive

The facilities are up to a high standard and the Queen's campus is in a great location, being just a 10 minute bus ride from the Belfast city centre. The student accomodation is also great, especially the Elms Village.

University of East Anglia UEA

Creative Writing and English Literature BA

University rating (4)

UEA is the type of place to be if you’d like to be close to a city that can offer everything, and be far enough away where you can still enjoy gardens. I have been enjoying the university, but it feels like I have to fight to be heard to get questions answered for exchange students. It’s incredible frustrating when you need to get a financial aid question answered but the student information office is constantly filled with a line of people. But, it’s not just the inability to get questions answered. During the first couple weeks of Uni they had a ton of general events you could go to to make friends, but then once classes started those ended and the societies took over. But, as an exchange student I don’t want to pay a fee just to enjoy a one off event that I find interesting for a society. Especially as going on exchange isn’t just about school but also about traveling and becoming a well rounded person. The university served their students well by having an NHS hospital on campus, but the outside looks neglected and I have to remind myself that it’s not a part of a zombie apocalypses set. Although, the school does have some great looking facilities, it is reminiscent of what I see in the US so it’s not particular star-stunning. The teachers here are amazing though, whenever I have a question they’re always there to answer my questions and give feedback. It’s been amazing to feel like I can go up to them whenever and get perspective on my life or my assignments. However, a not so great part is whenever you call up maintenance it feels like you’ve personally offended them by asking them to fix something. One time I had a maintenance guy come into my kitchen, and maybe it’s because I’m from a small town, but when he was trying to prescribe the issue to the window he just tore off the Halloween decorations that I had put on the window, which I feel like wouldn’t happen where I am from because they are always aware that things don’t belong to them. It took my flat three weeks for the maintenance guys to actually listen to us when our hob broke and it was incredibly frustrating to have to them come and “fix” it only for the problem to persist. Even with these experiences though, it doesn’t beat the range of classes that I have been offered here and I can’t wait to see what I will learn in the future.
