Am excited to be on one of the best universities in the UK. The lecturers and staff have been so supportive. Everyone is willing to offer assistance. Even ammo gst students, respect, courtesy is a culture. No one judges you. You save money from even the little things. I remember going to the post office one day to sort out an identity verification and I was told to go across and make a photocopy. I had to part with a dollar! That meant a lot to me because I print freely any material I need on campus and I do not bother about bringing out money all the time. May sound silly but it meant a lot to me! There was another instance I was in the bathroom and I noticed my period. At that instance I was grateful the spares kept in the ladies saved the day. Also the many showsand exhibitions on campus where you get to scan codes and win prizes are exciting opportunities for me. I love the fun and learning.

Studying at Aston University has been a very good insightful welcoming experience. It has been inclusive as well as a medium of connecting people from diverse places .
i have had an amazing experience in Aston so far all the facilities and social experiences are phenomenal I would recommend any student attend Aston
I thoroughly enjoy the psychology course I am doing at Aston university as the course provides excellent resources such as access to research journals and hands-on projects, which deepens my understanding of the subject. Also, the lecturers at Aston university are knowledgeable, approachable and engage students in meaningful discussions.
Decent career support, cannot ask for more.
I believe the school campus and facilities are great. However, they can do more for the engineering students. The student union and societies are very welcoming and there is variety to choose from. For the careers help as an international student due to the new policies in place I can’t say they are useful to me as they do no have much help for international placements since the uk has restricted us working in the country.

I love that the campus is so sustainable and green, it really is nice to look at. I also love that it's a campus uni and everything is so close together and I like that we optometry students have our own building as it saves the hassle of trying to find our way around the main building like other students.
Just enrolled this September, very clean and energetic college with all amenities
Great experience on campus with different study spaces to choose from, and printing and photocopying is easy to do. Would be great for more paid societies to join or jobs to be offered during academic year
Very good facilities. The lecture halls are greet with Oki sockets in most of them. The lecturers are nice and easy to approach to help with work. In some places the wifi doesn’t work.
New student but been enjoying my experience!!
Does everything it needs to do. Careers support is very good. What it lacks in incredible facilities, it makes up for with good graduate employability and entrepreneur support.
Excellent sense of community and it well located. It only takes me 10 mins to get to city centre.
The lecturers are extremely helpful and they’re always offering support .
overall a very pleasing and welcoming experience, really excited for the rest of my tenure here .. cheers
my experience at aston has allowed me to grow withing my academic field as well as personally.
Living in William Murdough has been a wonderful experience. The community is friendly and welcoming, creating a strong sense of belonging. The location offers convenient access to public transport and local shops, while the apartments are modern and well-maintained. Regular community events enhance the neighborhood spirit. Overall, it's a fantastic place to live in Birmingham!
I can't think of any other university within the midlands that's more convenient and easy-going for a student. It's not even doing it justice to say it's next to city centre because it's literally in city centre so shops, restaurants, bus stops, train station are all so close by. The support from student services and lectures is great and you can really tell they do the most for students well-being which is reassuring
The Aston university campus is really good with the accommodations and student facilities being amazing and well tailored to students educational needs and wants.
Aston gives many opportunities and has an amazing support system , the professors are so nice and helpful, it has many societies and cultures communities which is so nice as we can join them and get to know about them definitely glad to be part of Aston
It’s a great university they provide fantastic support
Great university with lots of opportunities to grow, study and have fun
A great university with friendly staff, great courses and really nice campus.
Friendly university with friendly staff
Aston University is a lovely school. The staffs are friendly and ready to help. I must add that the student support is also really good. The environment is lovely and beautiful.
Studying at Aston University can feel overwhelming at times due to the heavy workload, but trust me, it’s all worth it for your future. The university provides valuable guidance every step of the way, introducing you to various platforms and opportunities. Specialists are always available to assist with finding part-time jobs and professional placements. They truly care about the career growth of each and every student.
Sometimes in certain floors or area of the university building the wifi doesn’t connect. This is a big issue especially because I am a computer science student.
Please bring some more experienced faculties with better ability to teach.
The first four weeks at Aston University studying Cyber Security have been both exciting and challenging. From day one, I was introduced to the basics of the field, including foundational concepts in network security, cryptography, and risk management. Adjusting to university life has been an interesting transition—getting used to managing my time between lectures, assignments, and personal study has been key. I’ve also started meeting fellow students and forming connections, which has made the process easier. The lecturers are knowledgeable, and I’m finding the practical side of the course, like labs and exercises, particularly engaging. Overall, it’s been an eye-opening experience so far, and I’m looking forward to diving deeper into the subject matter in the coming weeks.
The staff is amazing and very responsive.The campus is beautiful and huge.The student activities has so many things going on all the time,events and everything so you donot feel lonely.There is also games and cafe and music on campus.It was a joy studying at Aston and i lived on campus and so can you.
The university is great for career help and advice! However I believe they could provide and offer more support/ academic help when needed
All the teaching being done in the massive main building is convenient for the uni but I think takes away from the student experience a bit. Very little food services on campus and a bit pricier than other unis but still affordable. SU doesn't have much to it but the pool tables and weekly quizzes are a nice touch.
Lovely campus, great university! Faculty members are supportive, attentive, and passionate about reflecting real-life experiences and skills needed for the chosen career path. The student union goes above and beyond to help with social and academic problems, and provide solid financial and accommodation advice. The clubs and societies cover a wide range of interests and have ongoing activities including member exclusive and welcome/social events. All in all a great experience!
Bilal and Security Guard Noz very welcoming and friendly
I am so glad I chose Aston University as it gives a very community based feel and I totally felt at home. The campus is in a great location with the city centre only a 10 minute walk away. The lecture halls are very accommodating and the study spaces are very nice! Overall the university is a great place to study with its own library and an amazing student union!!
Good university, experienced a lot. Once help from the university, I'm homeless now, can you support me an accommodation?
Really enjoy going to this university, some improvements could be made
Enjoy being here the night team make us feel safe
Great university for new students and really helpful staff.
Pretty satisfactory in total. Security guard Naz is a legend, great to talk to.
Top-notch university with all the resources a student could ever dream of. There's strong support for wellbeing as well. Great communication and accommodation of all personality types (introverts included).
I had an excellent experience with unite students Curzon house. Team here in the reception Mr Kobby doing a fantastic job here giving 24/7 service.
Good university, great staff, psychology programme great!
Overall, there are alot of planned events and activities organised by the Students Union so there is an opportunity for those that are interested to make new friends based on common interests.
Enjoyable environment with good staff and a nice community
Good school, good students union.
Keavy and anyone else at reception is always ready to help , very good staff who all made my stay very good
Not bad but too strict on rules, can only sign 1 person in per resident, could be more
Started during Covid so my experience has been alright but post Covid my experience has been delightful
Very good service and helps in keeping me up to date
Great place to learn as reviews suggest

The facilities and campus is great, many to choose from. The careers service is really helpful too
onyx is an amazing accommodation to live in, the staff are wonderful, the appliances are great and the staff are always there to help if needed , no complaints about this accom at all
I was in a room which made my experience throughout uni not great . Laeticia the staff at unite helped me tremendously she is a star! She constantly helped me and kept me updated making sure everything was okay and even found me a new room to move into ! Ever since I’ve been happy and I owe it to her .
I had the privilege of being assisted by Laeticia from the student experience team. Her personalized attention and dedication were truly remarkable. She helped me review my case diligently. Her professionalism and commitment made a significant difference in resolving my situation. I highly recommend Laeticia for her exceptional service and support.
Good all around overall!!!!!!!
Very good at the university especially when it comes to your options with getting involved with any clubs/ societies, so many options. I would definitely recommend everyone to get involved with at least one.
Really convenient to go anywhere
Currently has a great experience at the uni
amazing, would recommend to anyone!
diverse and friendly uni, with helpful staff
Good ranking uni..............
The location is best and staff is too good. 24 hours security is available. The Common rooms, cinema room, gym all things are there inside the accommodation which is good for a student to come to onyx.
Amazing facility, it's more fun and with great staff and security
The accommodation is great and the staff is so helpful and greets with the cookies and amenities.
The school really really cares about students.
I think the ONYX is very good.
Aston University is a great place to study for international students
Great food excellent food splendid food
It has been a great experience until now
Onyx is a great accommodation for anyone who likes socialising. The accommodation holds events for students to meet new people and make friends, as well as the best communal area to socialise and chill indoors. You get a lot for the price you’re paying, and everything is close to you and in walking distance. The staff at onyx are so kind and helpful, they remember names and faces and always do their best to help aswell as the security team. I’ve come back to onyx for my final year and it’s a really good decision, I enjoy living here a lot!
I have only stayed here for one day so I haven't explored all the facilities yet.
Aston is the best University because of it's location and also the student union
I dropped out of Aston halfway through year to study at BCU instead. Didn’t really find many friends and half the lectures were online which made it feel like there was no point in moving to Birmingham for uni. There were so many people on the course and in lecture halls that it was hard to contribute or interact during.
Great university for studying and provides a good environment for students
Lovely facilities and staff. Very spacious and good resources
Super close to the city centre. Loads of good study spaces and things to do.
Better internet. More individual building use. Better incentives to join clubs and events
Aston University is a reputable institution that focuses on prioritising your employability, they are not a Russell Group University but that is not everything! Aston University's prestige lies in its ability to get you employed in a sector and job you're happy with
Great place and experience living there
Really enjoyed my time at Aston. Had really good lecturers and a good experience
Good I like the uni it's good I like it
Brilliant university, but not a value for money as other processes are extremely slow
It’s great. Love the student union. Lecturers there are amazing. There is student support to contact.
Unstable internet, lack of study spaces, questionable approach to safety
Nice enough, good location in a big city
Love the uni, definetyl staying one more year.
always feel safe on campus really enjoy living here
Good living on campus close to everywhere
