Great facilities offered for veterinary courses and in-class learning. The sandwich year of the course was very insightful and it means veterinary nurses who require a certain amount of clinical experience have the same university experience as other students as most courses have a placement year.

Cleaning every week including the kitchen. Modern rooms with en-suite and a good location, at the back of campus so can still have some peace whilst being under a 5 minute walk from the SU and library.

Some lectures seem pointless. But then great and engaging

Not very diverse.

We don’t have a kitchen and need to cook on weekends. Other than that it’s great

Not made clear that behaviour is only really covered at level 6 education

Bit expensive for what is given especially due to it being in quite a remote location

there are lots of useful classes but taster sessions would have been nice for the final year modules that we had to pick in second year. they built a new facility for veterinary science but they mainly only let Keele use it for the veterinary medicine courses which is lack lustre as we should be working alongside each other to become better colleagues in the future. career prospects in general aren't extremely influenced by harper itself it helps but really due to staff shortage it would be nearly impossible to not find a job

public transport is awful, taxi drivers always drove like crazy when I used them. centrally in the town it is expensive but a short walk there is aldi and lidl. there are lots of job opportunities at local charity shops and food shops. there are many diverse festivals held throughout the year

I got lucky for my room I am from a different country so I got bumped up the queue so got my first choice. In general people did not seem to be put into the housing they wanted and further to that we had two empty rooms in our flat at halls which were the most desired building. you had to beg to change halls and even then a lot of people incurred a fee when really they could have been moved and it had no impact on anything

Some of the lectures don’t seem to engage there students with certain topics. The modules are delivered very well though and lectures are very friendly

Not a lot of student facilities within the flats and people pay the same for better facilities at other unis. But does give a very homey vibe

Course could do with more content relevant to placements.

Halls are close to everything on Campus, ideally located for all important buildings and facilities. Expensive for what they are but may be a countrywide thing.

The course is really good overall. Course modules are interesting and tutors are able to engage with us easily.

Our halls is really spacious and came well equipped. They tried their best to match us together with flatmates based on a questionnaire (but of course, it doesn't always work)

I enjoy the way the majority of my course is taught however some subjects are not very engaging and this leads to people not showing up. Contacting lecturers is good as communication is done via emails and lecturers are very responsive and helpful if there is an enquiry. Outdoor practical work is appealing and I have learnt a lot about the farm and how prestigious it is as an enterprise. Course hour times are a good length of time and there is time throughout the day to do extra work which is essential.

The thing I like most about my halls is that everyone is lovely and we all get on really well as a group. The bad thing about the halls is that the rooms get extremely hot even in the winter months, I dread to think what it will be like when it starts to warm up. The water pipes that go around the room are very hot and produce a lot of heat making it hard to sleep at times. The water in the halls comes out warm in the cold taps which is not ideal. The room size is good value for money and storage is acceptable. The kitchen fridge is too small however on weekends as there is 14 of us to one small fridge and freezer however throughout the week we all are catered so it is not to bad.

In the first and second years of my study, the course was delivered in person with a good balance of lectures and tutorials meaning there was good contact time with tutors. However, in the final year of my studies, the contact time has been severely reduced which makes it harder to get motivated for and understand my course content. I think that since final year is very difficult compared to previous years, contact time should be maintained with tutors as this can ease confusion and help students to fully appreciate their course content.

Bradford Hall was brilliant. It's in the centre of campus you're within 5 minutes of all the facilities. Housekeeping was amazing in looking after us aswell plus the catering team was great at serving us good meals 3 times a day 5 days a week. The only main disadvantage was that on weekends there wasn't sufficient facilities in Bradford for us all to cook decent meals in the small kitchens.

Loads of great opportunities especially with placement

Great way to meet friends in first year!
