Good experience here Thankyou. Would recommend
Good experience all in all, however some major expectations were not met
I was part of a cohort that was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, so my experience of university more generally may be a little skewed. Still, the University of Leicester made every effort to support students who were in the city during the lockdowns, and this extended to post-lockdown university life too. I’ve loved the abundance of societies, social spaces, catering facilities, but mostly the community feel at the university. Being a campus university, albeit with a smaller campus, has really reinforced a sense of familiarity with the university and the city, and also the importance and relevance of students in a city like Leicester. It’s been great to see how students, departments, and the university as a whole gets involved with the community, from volunteering projects and fundraisers, to supporting local events, such a the annual Diwali lights switch on (which you cannot miss if you’re around!).
It is a good university, with modern and also old buildings. The teaching staff is kind and helpful. The workload is bearable, even if someone has part-time job throughout the semesters. The communication between departments sometimes a little bit challenging and can cause problems. Overall, I am satisfied with the university. I would recommend it to people who would like to have some free time while completing a university course and prefer a small city. I would not recommend the university for those who would like to take their studies extremely seriously and live in an exciting and vibrant city.
I had a good experience with my university
Great and lovely university, not so big but very lively because of the societies and library.
I had an amazing experience in the university of leicester. All staff is supportive and the Student Union is the best.
The university has a strong emphasis on research with a stimulating environment. The professors are always willing to help students with their needs and queries
Beautiful surroundings and lovely Victoria Park make me really enjoy my study time. Tutors are very helpful and they delivered fantastic courses. The Wi-Fi sometimes gets weak and I can’t connect to class smoothly otherwise it’s reliable and surely useable.
Good university, supportive school, dynamic environment
The University has a lot of good societies to join, ranging from languages to law societies. They have a good amount of in-house restaurants to eat from
Leicester has been an insightful and exciting journey so far. My research skills have been greatly enhanced, and I have met quite a number of people.
It's been fine. Good campus, decent teaching,I like the open door policy for reaching professors.
I highly rate my specific course however the university itself have room for improvement
Good university, nice curriculum
A fantastic university with great staff
As a current student pursuing my Masters in Marketing at the University of Leicester, I am delighted to share my review of this esteemed institution. The University of Leicester offers an exceptional academic environment combined with a vibrant campus life. The marketing program here is outstanding, providing a comprehensive curriculum that covers both theoretical concepts and practical applications. The faculty members are highly knowledgeable and experienced in their respective fields, offering valuable insights and guidance throughout the course. They are always approachable and willing to support students in their academic pursuits. The university campus itself is well-equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, including modern classrooms, a well-stocked library, and dedicated study spaces. Additionally, there are numerous extracurricular activities and societies that enhance the overall student experience and promote a sense of community.
Very helpful and caring people.
Nice kitchen and room space. Nice management, friendly staff.
Great university to study, excellent space to study at
Great university with great amenities
University of Leicester has been a great experience , there are so many clubs and societies to join.The career hub has helped me develop my skills and create a strong cv.The people at the university are very friendly and kind.
Internet is not good to my Iphone. I tried to joint the golf club，but I am not succeed.
It was a good experience I got to meet different people with different backgrounds
the building is old and need some repairation.
many societies to participate in and nice library
A good university to study to.
Good they have been so help and so nice
Really great variety of societies so lots of opportunities to join clubs and sports teams! The new SU has really changed campus and provided lots more spaces to eat and sit with friends. The library is unfortunately a bit small and there are not that many other quiet spaces available to work.
University is really inclusive .
The uni is very good and inclusive
Great university to study lots of opportunities and career prospects available
Amazing. Student life is pleasant
It’s a really nice school. I love the vibe
Overall, it is pretty good here. In class, the teachers are very serious and responsible, and the students can feel that the teachers have been fully prepared. In addition, the students are also very active in class, which can make others feel a strong learning atmosphere. The school is also well-equipped. However, in some old teaching buildings, there will be facilities failure problems.
My experience at University of Leicester has been great. I have made many friends and the course content is very interesting to me. The staff are also very kind and there are many places to get help if you need it.
University of leicester is one of the most university in UK. It is good ranking most other universities. Genetic school is highly rank.
Overall I’m happy with the facilities and education
Very nice and excellent school
Good uni, cheap city, but little to do
Really interactive student union
Amazing university with an extraordinary campus. Lecturers do a fantastic job teaching the students and providing them with plenty of information and resources to complete essays.
I am happy with the university
Lecturers come varied however some are very good
Good, the University has good lecturers for the most part.
It’s a nice campus with everything you really need so it’s cool
A very good university that's gives you a well rounded experience.
my course tutors and the facilities at the university have all matched and exceeded my expectations
It's nothing special, could be a lot worse.
Good university. Good people and amazing lecturers.
Great university, amazing opportunities
Very good experience I love the university
Good uni with nice people and very good library to study and make friends
The University of Leicester is a very good uni which provides a wide range of experiences and you get to meet a wide range of people.
all the amenities that the uni provides are great
Beautiful campus, professional and very helpful staff. I feel lucky to be studying here as an international student.
Beautiful University with quality education. Professors are very cordial and polite.
The laptop facilites are good
Great university with great staff
Nice campus with good facilities
Very amazing experience. I love it.
The university has been a great experience for me.
Nothing special. Between strikes and the pandemic there hasn't been much teaching either. Teacher's are amazing but the University itself needs work but there are a lot of good social opportunities though so you only fully miss out if you don't put yourself out there.
Great location. Big campus. Lots of study spaces. Library now open 24/7
I'm having a good experience so far!
Very supportive community with a lot to do in spare time. Great learning environment, would recommend for sure
Good environment with lots to do out side of studying and good city
Good facilities for all students to use e.g. the library, the gym, the student union. The student union has a range of food outlets for around £2-5 so you can always find something to eat or drink if you’re hungry, and there is a cafe in the library as well.
A great study environment for student learning.
The campus is so nice to just sit wherever you like and read or work on your laptop or meet friends or classmates. The teachers are amazing. Cannot praise their support enough. Loads of opportunities to get involved with things. The library is MASSIVE and so accessible for everyone. The food is really expensive for what it is. We are poor uni students and the prices are high.
I really enjoy studying at uni of leicester and plan to continue my masters degree in here
My uni experience was good overall. You can meet different people at any time (although it's a little difficult to befriend them.)
The University of Leicester is good, happy to study here and made some friends.
Decent uni, Aerospace also decent
The campus is decent enough, but some buildings are very much starting to show their age. Good SU. Teaching varies from excelled to relatively poor for university standard.
Good uni, smaller than I imagined but make up for everything else
The university is really good. I really reccomend
It’s alright I guess but could be better
Good university, wifi not the best in some areas
STAY AWAY FROM BLOCK F. I have a complete apartment and am paying a premium to stay in a place which would be a noted health concern in Canada. Leaking windows in the bedrooms. Mould in the wooden windowsills and bathrooms plastic seams. Dust EVERYWHERE at all times. You can dust daily - and it is a fine, blue dust. It looks like lint from laundry exhaust. They scheduled significant works done WHILE STUDENTS WERE IN RESIDENCE. No plastic sheeting was used to cover soft surfaces in bedrooms, etc. Students are then expected to do all the washing and cleaning of these works at their own expense. My dry clean only coat must be cleaned now my own expense. If you have asthma or a respiratory condition - run far, far away. I have been ill since arrival. Despite repeated e-mails nothing is addressed in a timely manner. Toilet took 2+ weeks to be fixed. In addition, the laundry facilities are absolutely foul. Constantly smelling sewage in the laundry rooms from backed up / broken machines.
Good uni nice experience, city is eh
Doing my teacher training here, the staff are fantastic but some of the facilities, especially the library, need improvements or attention - there is often only 1 working printer in the whole library! The library is often ram-packed too - definitely more space/another library needed! (ps: considering how ridiculously low lecturers get paid it makes me wonder where my 9 grand is going...)
Great study and social experience, a lot of support from staff and an overall very pleasant university life
Great university and good facilities
I was a distance learner so did not go to the campus.
Overral is a good experience and good campus
Good facilities, food outlets and general campus life. Never feels too crowded and there are a lot of study options available should you want to remain on campus.
Pretty good campus and facilities.
Really good university and the course is good.
Nice university, staff are helpful and supportive
UoL has the best career service, I've used their mock interviews & mock assesment centres & they have been of great help.
Pretty average uni on the whole except for some subjects where it’s specialist. Welcoming environment, pretty good on the whole. Not many (affordable) food options on campus, student bus is very unreliable. But my department is great, brilliant lecturers too!
An outstanding university- your student life will be simply amazing and you can’t ask for more. Lecturers are engaging and really knowledgeable, since they study in the best universities in the world. There are a number of careers opportunities, I haven’t ever seen more in any other university: countless societies and a host of activities to do, like many conferences and meetings with the most successful people in the UK and in the world too. Don’t miss out!
Only been around 1 year during covid. New SU & good facilities
This is a very perfect apartment. The apartment facilities are very good and the front desk management is very enthusiastic. Living here is like being at home and very warm. In particular, warm-hearted reception staff, will be responsible for solving students' every problem!
The university is standard, has most facilities that you would expect. The new Percy Gee building is probably the nicest
Very supportive and friendly atmosphere- lecturers feel really easy and comfortable to talk to even after having a year mostly online
Academic freedom nonexistent. They force you to do things they are comfortable and familiar with. Teachers can’t speak English well. Their level of experience is very poor. I can definitely teach better than my tutors. 2 out of 5 stars for teachers.
I don't use much of the above as a postgrad but the facilities are good
I had an amazing time at the University. I think the campus is great and the new buildings and wasting places add a lot vibrancy to the environment. The lecturer and all the staff is lovely and very helpful.
