 " Green and very student friendly. The lakes and open spaces make it a really nice place to spend your time and there is a strong sense of community. The university facilities are good across different areas, such as sports, the huge and modern library, food options at the SportPark and more. I would happily repeat these three years again. "

 " It's a great University, the students are what make it great though, more so than the staff. I have several good lecturers but not across the board of my modules. Student support isn't the best in regards to mental welfare & the financial side of the Uni is expensive unless buying drinks. Social life is great, and I wouldn't go to another uni given the opportunity. "

 " Its been a fun university experience although there are obvious areas where the university is lacking such as facilities and support. My course especially has many underwhelming lecturers. the social scene has been good mostly through the use of societies, majority of the sports teams are for fun as there are really no winning teams on campus.

 " Very happy of my university choice! Great course and great staff and lecturers. Overall, good experience with students accommodation, lots of options. The psychology department is also changing the curriculum, very i testing and innovative new learning strategies. "

 " Really amazing university and have loved every second here! Was living in student accommodation in my first year and really loved the halls I was in and met amazing friends who I have now lived with throughout. The course is really good and the whole department are really friendly and helpful. "
