I love how diverse the city is and how much there is to do and the transport links via the train mean its easy to get to different places in the Midlands and even London. I also like how many different study and social spaces there are on campus, there's a different vibe for everyone.

I like how much support there is from the lecturers in the forms of practicals, workshops and tutorials, but in the first semester I wasn't a fan of how many assignments we had all at once, as I prefer a sparse spread through the term and then end-of-module assessments as it allows me to not get overwhelmed but this semester it's exactly like that so I am enjoying it.

Definitely recommend it for prospective first years, its a lovely environment as everyone's in the same boat as you, and the different events held allow everyone to socialise and make friends, the Oadby village is also so safe and away from the city so it gives a sense of peace and calm whilst having the social aspect of everyone living super close to each other and getting along! The university bus also makes it easier to get to the university for lectures and the city if needed.

The teaching staff are so passionate and clearly care so much about student learning and experience. The SU feel so disconnected from students, and communication from them is very poor.

The course tries to be mindful and incorporate a blended learning approach to work for most students. Some modules have very limited contact hours with lecturers in smaller class settings (i.e. tutorials)

Halls had multiple maintenace issues and at times these were patched up rather than truly fixed. Compared to other accomodation offered mine was good value for money, as the rooms and shared facilities were spacious.
