DMU has helped me become much more confident and aided me in many ways. I would not have finished first year with a 2:1, very nearly a first if it wasn't for all the incredible help and lecturing from the staff.

Very friendly university with a wide range of subjects that bring a strange collection of people together. Close campus with a large amount of accomidation very near by helps to make it seem like its own small town. Only issues is the boring nature of Leicester city itself.

Buildings are fantastic and modern - notably Kimberlin Library and Hugh Aston buildings. Could do with more scientific rooms and equipment, but what is there is good quality. Fantastic Career Opportunities with the Frontrunners placement scheme. Plenty of affordable clubs and pubs near campus and wifi is available in all buildings. The students union has a lot of popular events on but it's not really my scene personally.

Tutors in the Accounting and Finance department are brilliant. Always willing to help and always available. The student union is very disappointing as it is quite expensive and i wouldn't say it was 'for the students'. There are a huge range of societies and if there isn't one that suits you then you can go about setting up your own. Overall, the university as a whole is very good and is growing each year.

There is no way I can fault the uni, apart from my course having one rubbish lecture who doesn't care for his students, other than that there is nothing they won't help you with, and the general atmosphere wherever you go on campus is always a good one.

My experience so far has been wonderful but that would be down to my flatmates. DMU itself has been a let down. They aren't organised and have messed up some of my coursework. I have had issues with tutors and have complained but I am yet waiting on results. I don't feel like I have had any support from DMU at all.

DeMomtfort is not in France

Very friendly. Great support network Lectures are really helpful Most of the work is on our VLE system Great location in the city -near to everything Great city - easy to get to other places Good public transport Loads of new buildings. All the old ones are in the process of being upgraded Loads of new facilities State of the art medical equipment New practice medical wards Great councilling system Doctors on site Near to 2 parks Good security Cheap to live in the city Great new gym with cheap rates for students Lots of societies Lots of SU funding available Encourages events Great student radio and media

Cons?
People tend not to have heard of it. Because its an ex-poly some people can be snobby about it. Su could be bigger and have a bigger range of societies.
