Good Library and other bits and bobs like the cafeteria. Haven’t really utilised SU or Societies or Careers service so not sure. Wi-fi is terrible in most rooms and I can barely log my attendance let alone participate in the internet based activities
Tudor place is a lovely place to stay, all my facilities have been in great condition. My kitchen is good kitchen however doesn’t come with a toaster or kettle but if you split the cost between flatmates it turns out cheap!! The accommodation in total has a gym, study space, games room and cinema room all available to you which is great and they’re all great places to be in. The accommodation is only a 5 minute walk from exton and also from the nearest spoons! Only a 15-20 minute from wheeler campus which is a straight walk down through town centre. It’s a lovely place to live the staff are so nice from all the interactions i’ve had with them and i would most definitely recommend tudor place again to other students. I’ve met some wonderful people through living here and i quite enjoy not being directly on campus. It’s also a gated accommodation which is great especially if you have over protective mums like me.
Great university for a wide range of subjects
The overall campus is great with a mixture of clubs and societies as well as facilities to accommodate your hobbies and interests.
I’ve been a tudor for three years it’s a great place to stay at, with many events that help make friends, very friendly and helpful staff, clean rooms, and is a great location close to the university and city center.
Overall positive review of campus and recourses available to students
One of the best experiences I have had as a student
As a first year psychology student, this university seems to be only a little above average. Their largest course is psychology, and the orientation as well as lectures are average. There aren't a lot of optional modules that stand out from other universities, and there is a definite lack of interactiveness during the lectures. Many of the lecturers don't inspire curiosity or enthusiasm in the students, so it is difficult to be excited about what you are learning. Overall the modules are informative and convey the bare information down, but not a whole lot more. Aside from the academics, the campus is small and very beautiful, with everything being within a reasonable walking distance. Although there is a very limited number of things to do during the academic year since this university is located in a small city, there is a tight knit community feel even outside of campus. I wouldn't recommend this university if you get easily bored, but there are still cool things to do around here.
Very helpful and nice people making you feel very comfortable
Very good facilities, some of the facilities they have are gym and study area. Very satisfied with the staff, they are very friendly and professional.
Friendly atmosphere on campus with plenty of spots to grab food or drink before lectures. Only criticism would be the lack of interest-related societies rather than sports ones.
The university of Chester is amazing it has allowed me so much more space to explore my interests and further my knowledge within my chosen areas, the staff are absolutely lovely and are always willing to help no matter what
Exton park the main campus of chester uni is great, all facilities are great and there are many places to socialise with people, the SU is one of the stand outs for me a great student pub to eat and drink with your friends after lectures or on days off, loads of sports are always on to keep you entertained and ofcourse many activities such as pool. all study halls in chester have left me very impressed because of the clean astehtic and the clear feeling of profesionalism that it leaves me with each time i enter my lecuture or workshop halls. safe to say that i do not regret having chester as my first choice.
Lovely staff, clean facilities and the best events throughout the year! Great place to live!! :))
Great uni with a range of options available
Chester uni is great. I go to the Hammond and love it there
Love the events tramways put on very good 🥳🥳🥳
Friendly staff are always there to help
it has been wonderful, no complaints.
First year was really quiet for me but second year has been great. I’ve joined the swimming team and learnt more about the student union. It’s a great place to be, I feel at home.
Great experience however they could improve the wifi. Staff are knowledgable and help me
really good enjoying it, great teaching too
Very good wifi i have joined some club and socities but not yet had communicatio from them
A large campus with top facilities to help students learn, whilst also having helpful and friendly staff.
I have really enjoyed my time at this Uni. The arts does feel like they were shoved in an old building as to not mix with other students on main campus. Facilities are great, however certain rooms definitely have a smell to them which is characteristic of an old converted highschool. “Main” campuses seem much better looked after in comparison. Most facilities work great and get the job done, however more can be done with onsite canteen, considering this location is not as central to Chester as others - so not many options around. If you want to study the arts, I would bare the location of the arts building in mind when it comes to accommodation and travel costs as in winter, the 45 minutes walk can be unbearable.
All the staff are wonderful and make an effort to hold a conversation. Action about issues raised are done in an acceptable timeframe and there is lots of support for mental health. some of the buildings could be updated however there are plenty of great places to study and all the lecture halls are reasonably comfortable and suitable.
Amazing campus and staff. Poor internet around the environment
Excellent sport societies and social areas
Chester uni, is a very basic uni compared to many others, Chester could definitely improved especially within the music and arts department if it would use outer contacts and professionals for their courses. I think lectures could definitely have a bit more of excitant and could teach courses in a more creative way suitable to the course to help motivate students in their department. We are saying enough as it is and struggling as students financially due to cost of living, if lectures could do a small thing to help, it would be to create more of a team spirit within Uni, and a more creative exciting way to teach courses. At the moment it feels like we just go to uni to get told "everything on Moodle".
Great university with more than adequate facilities for students during their learning period. The options in the library are very vast; you can get information about almost anything.
Great Experience so far, great support
Nice experience and I really love it and would be willing to advise others
Excellent university with lots of facilities and supportive faculty and staff to help in all areas. I am having great time studying at this university.
Central location, easy to find, staff are helpful and inclusive, main campus is simple to navigate.
It’s a good university, but the societies are largely sports based, not for me.
Really friendly lectures at Queens Park Campus
University of Chester provided us with support and I really enjoy studying here since my carrier prospects can improve significantly
I believe the quality of education at the university of Chester is top notch and I’m really satisfied with my choice of studying here
So far been a great university. My accommodation for first year has been pretty bad, but that aside everything’s been great. Course is good, people are friendly, town is relatively cheap by UK standards, lots of courses on offer. Societies could be better (many died during Covid apparently) and internet needs a decent amount of attention, but overall I am a big fan and am looking forward to two more years of fun and memories here.
Okay, my course is mainly off campus so don’t have too much experience on campus.
Chester is a very friendly university, with a great campus, helpful career services and a good range of clubs and societies. I would definitely recommend!
The library is great for studying and is definitely one of the areas I use the most at the university, after the coffee shop!
Great learning experience with good facilities
A great place to study & so many friends to be socially interacting with.
Amazing! Best uni experience so far.
University of Chester provides an open and easy access to all diversities inside the campus which makes academic life easier. Schemes such as cost of living and other benefits the international students in cutting down the living expenses. This initiatives should be promoted to other colleges. There are various clubs and societies under students union which keeps student life active.
Love studying here, the lecturers and other staff are always willing to help and are friendly.
Paul who works on nights is extreamly helpful and welcoming.

Great institution for learning and career advancement
University of Chester provides the best education in practical manner that helped me learn new thing in a very easy way. My life time experience will be studying in the University Of Chester.
I go to the Hammond so my opinion of the facilities is based on what they have offer there, and I’m currently pleased with the degree I am getting there.
I go The Hammond but, so my opinion of the facilities is based on The Hammond.
I enjoy studying Child nursing as it is very informative
The university of Chester, Queen’s Park business school is a brilliant university. I highly recommend going for it!!
Lecturers are lovely, respond to emails quickly and are very helpful
Overall the university is good. The amount of strikes from lectures is concerning and it does have a negative impact on students. The wifi could also be improved.
The university of Chester is great. Lecturers are always on hand for support.
Amazing experience for me thank you chester

A really good university with lots of good opportunities
University of Chester is a great place to study if you are an international student. It is very welcoming and the lectures are top notch. The lecturers are always ready to help and they listen to your questions carefully to make sure you get answers.
Perfect facilities, staff are all lovely. Rooms are amazing. Never had an issue here
Staff are great and help us with whatever we need
Nice community and helpful staff members
Good university, great staff, plenty on offer
Staff always ready to help, positive experience
This university is so nice most of the lecturers are lovely
Not the best Uni but the staff are very helpful when needed but there isn’t much facilities and all seems quite old/standard
good all round uni, the location and history of the town is a bonus
The University of Chester has truly helped me grow; intellectually and socially. My course has really pushed my comfort zones to enable me to become confident within my academic skills. Personally I wish there was a wider range of societies and events to advertise theses clubs so that more people can get involved.
Great nightlife in Chester with a local student bar. No problems with Wi-Fi
Campuses are clean and modern, lecturers and staff members are friendly and always ready to help
I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Uoc so far. All the members of staff are so willing to see you succeed and that is very reassuring.
university facilities are very basic. wifi is good, career service has very limited options compared to the number of students looking for jobs, very very few societies and little variation in clubs beyond the classic sport teams
Honestly love chester ! Staff are really helpful and personally my PAT is one of the most understanding and supportive people I have ever met. All feedback is helpful in assignments and knowing where to improve is shown. Consistent timetables which is helpful to those who prefer consistency.
Great university. Know lots of people around. Always events on.
I have found societies very clicks and unwelcoming. The campus is in need of renovation as it doesn't look very appealing.
Good university! Such a lovely place to study and live and enjoy the experience of the university
Lovely university, the staff and lecturers are wonderful and are always eager to help students. The student Union is very friendly as well.
I like the university of Chester. However, some of their facilities such as the library at exerton campus misses out some chairs for table. There are lots of different places to sit and learn. The staff is extremely helpful and lovely. I am coming from abroad and they are really kind, generous and thoughtful in what they do and what they don't do.
Lovely uni with excellent lecturers who always help when needed
Overpromised and underdelivered, societies are awful, Constant cancellations, mental health services are rubbish, a tutor publicly praised the work of a terrorist in class. Reception staff are always great. barely attended class this year because of the constant strikes, where’s my money back? Outdated in parts. Only one decent student accommodation building, the rest are not suitable for human occupation. No transport for far away campuses. Dangerous ideology being taught in unrelated subjects. Some great individuals in this uni really dedicated and helpful going above and beyond but as a whole it really let me down I could leave tomorrow and I feel like I have gained nothing very disappointed as it’s a beautiful city with some great people
Lessons are intersting and the staff are friendly and welcoming. Really enjoying my uni life so far.
I have enjoyed my first year at chester University. My course ,history, is really interesting and the course leaders are amazing. I study at Exton Park which has a great library and the SU where you can get some lunch.
Ok uni but terrible signal on campus, not much to do as it’s a small campus and the PATs usually don’t do what they are supposed to do
It’s a small university, which is good since you can learn a lot more in small classes. Also all of the staff is really nice and competent. They always try to help you out every way they can.
Friendly environment, good study facilities
The main campus has all the facilities you need despite it not being very big and is located right near the city centre
The university main campus has everything you need even if you’re not based there. It’s has everything we could use or need
Great university, recommended, the campus is huge, a lot of facilities, the best building for me is the sports hall, coz i love doing sports. And there's football field as well.
