Not very attractive campus but gets the job done. Not had much experience with careers service but so far it seems pretty standard.

Facilities great (abet engineering is average). Clubs are great over 200. Student Union is ok. The opening hours are a bit limited, the shops a little expensive, and you can't get hot food past 4pm. Careers are helpful, can be a bit annoying when they keep contacting you, but they mean well.

So far, I've had the best experience here, the lecturers in the archaeology department (my course) are absolutely brilliant and dedicated to making it a personal experience for you. The university itself has a great campus and is always trying to improve its facilities.

I'm a fresher, so I wouldn't say I've had the FULL experience, but having been to another university beforehand, I can say that my experience SO FAR has been much better - the societies are vast and diverse, facilities provided are brilliant, the SU is great. Shame about the WiFi - it's great, when you can actually get it!

Wi-Fi doesn't always work but there is a large area to connect to it. Huge number of societies and clubs to get involved with, all very friendly people. Campus is small but not too small, easy to get around. Student Union area is a great place for lunch and socialising, has a great atmosphere.

Great uni with great facilities, I couldn't praise the place more. The student union is just a bunch of clowns thinking they're politicians and it is just laughable. O2 monopolise the union and all events there, every night they put on is complete b******* and cheesy s*** at that.
