Loved my time here at Hull, I’m a HYMS student so have also spent time at York Uni and can honestly say Hull’s facilities are much better and I prefer Hull 100%

Horrific to disabled students.
I am a disabled person who was studying media and living on campus last year. Due to personal reasons and difficulties, i left early. I was told if i handed my keys in and put in the suspension form, they would only charge me for the time i was there (until march) i do both, and was ignored, they charged me as if i was there the full year. they did not have my disability plan until i had to show them it, they gave me a "medical priority" room, where the heating didn't work in winter and the shower flooded my bathroom any time i needed to use it, resulting in me sleeping in coats and being unable to shower regularly, they knew i was waiting to get my blue badge for my car, yet they wouldn't budge on giving me an exception, leaving me to have to carry bags of shopping across a dangerously busy main road, or shop at the more expensive on campus "spar" in the first module, i was put as a writer in my group, i could not attend the next two lectures, hospital reasons, i come back ignored.
wouldn't recommend hull for adult nursing, absolutely dreadful support and teaching given to students and you often can't get in touch with staff when you need help. the uni in general has a lack of support for struggling students and the student union are too focused on making profits then actually doing their jobs. I have hated every minute of my time at hull and I deeply regret choosing this uni, avoid for nursing if you actually want an enjoyable experience
some campus buildings are modern however a few aren’t up to date. SU isn’t great , not much communication and don’t really know who to go to especially when i got spiked in the SU nightclub. careers service seems okay , not used it yet. lots of selection for clubs and most are welcoming especially ice hockey. wifi is good , works in lectures , nothing to complain about
It’s alright, nothing too special
The Students union is now more interested in getting revenue from the public than its own students.
Student union isn’t worth it. Societies can be very cliquey. Since student union has become a spoons student night life has become bad and the union bar is always full of members of the public and children.
Good university, good facilities.
Overall a decent uni, campus accommodation is questionable! Student union is also questionable however we have a spoons on campus which is fun and the nightclub is pretty good! Offer years abroad for various courses! Glad to be back on campus after a year of online learning

The WiFi is poor and often cannot connect - when it can it’s very slow. I’ve missed online lectures because the WiFi wasn’t good enough for my laptop. The clubs are either sporty or strange so not interested which really hinders social life. Not many social events other than nights at the club otherwise.
Although student support is advertised everywhere when you actually need help they are pretty useless. Good luck fitting in as mature student. No thought to those who may have child care issues. Felt extremely segregated.
Do not recommend this University, lack of support from the top. University is far too interested in the countless Open Days that they hold instead of supporting their current students.
great uni, nice staff, good support
Having finished 4 years I can’t knock the universities facilities, funding or culture.
with this university they are able to help whenever you have a question about anything within your uni life.
It okay I guess to. Be honest the team been okay
I study at Hull Art and Design School. It has been amazing. And very beneficial
The last 3 years at the University of Hull were fantastic, the campus facilities were extensive ranging from places to eat to the massive library which was the perfect place to get a quiet moment to study. The students union was always on hand to make the students' concerns and ideas heard The careers service was easy to access and provided 1 to 1 sessions where you could get advice on what to do next with your degree.
The last 3 years at the University of Hull were fantastic, I really enjoyed taking psychology as my course. The classes were informative and well structured l.
Excellent facilities, course and lecturers
Had a good experience but don't attribute that to the Uni itself
it has been a very stressful 3 years but the student well-being team have been amazing and have gone above and beyond.
It’s very nice because It’s a 5 minute walk from my accommodation so it’s in a good place.
Well done guys, just love Hull me.
Great University with lovely hull
Nice uni to study at. Came here along with a few friends. Some very good teachers.
This USED my favourite place to live. Now I want to move as they’ve completely changed the contract and what we are entitled to. This has upset ALOT of residents
Uni itself is okay, if you try and stay away from the administration side
Amazing facilities and accommodation, great lecturers in my chosen subject, and lush campus. Lots of issues within the students union at the moment, societies seem very cliquey and not inclusive.
One brilliant lecturer (no longer teaching), other average at best, one inadequate. Incompetent admin staff.
campus amazing. city amazing, midwifery dept is dreadful.
I loved my course but the SU left a lot to be desired. Events like the societies fair were extremely badly run, and the end of year ball was cancelled last minute due to their incompetency.
It's a great uni, great campus and lovely staff. Modules are a bit organised (or atleast chemical engineering) and crucial dissertation information was released very late. The university should take a hard look at the communication between hubs and lecturers as there seems to be lots of confusion. They also really need more lecturers and to expand the department as lecturers seem overwhelmed.
I’m from Hull so may be biased but I absolutely love the uni. Such a community and friendly feel, plus my course is fab! Feel like it gets overlooked by many, couldn’t reccommend it enough!
Fun campus, lots of things to take part in. Definitely felt apart of a team when at uni
Its a good uni which has lots to do
Too much groupthink and discrimination against wrong opinions
The university of hull has allowed me to come out of my shell massively not only in my course but also making friends. I owe it a lot for everything I have done here and everyone I have met.
An excellent university with supportive staff and fantastic facilities for all courses.
A very enjoyable experience so far
Fabulous university, campus is stunning and the people are so friendly. Will miss it terribly when I leave!
Good uni, lack of mandatory student support. Can literally go through uni without talking to a member of staff which isn't good. An average experience to be honest.
Truly great university. The student Union is the best.
Close knit uni with everything on campus including a nightclub, Starbucks, food places, and more. Sports socials every Wednesday that end in the uni’s night club
I wouldn't change anything about it! Amazing university
Most unorganised and joke of a university avoid it at all costs.
This university has truly given me the opportunity to develop into a confident, sociable person who knows what they want to pursue as a career and exactly how to get there.
Great student oriented university. However, if on a budget, avoid on campus accomodation. You can find way cheaper places that are within a 5 min walk radius.
Cosy, friendly campus that makes you feel right at home
Bad university. The tutors are terrible (on my course anyway) and I would not recommend. Worst 3 years of my life, apart from finding great friends.
Great environment with diverse people. It tries to provide the best experience for the students and I can say that it is working !
Friendly place to do a degree.
Bad stuff happened this year but the University's reassurance of safety and respect for students family couldn't of been handled better. The encouragement of getting students to seek help proves they care about your wellbeing as well as your education.
The business school is ace, most lecturers are helpful, a few try to sell you certain companies. provision of coeliac friendly gluten free food is poor. The uni nightclub is SO expensive
Good people, good staff. Shocking admin and management
Wifi could be better, constantly going off especially in uni houses along cranbrook.
It’s been okay, but the city of hull is not very interesting
Fantastic uni, lovely people, couldnr recomend it enough for business
Works for me, decent campus, good night out, great views from the library.
Overall, I’m having a great time at The University of Hull, and think it deserves more credit than it gets.
I love this university very much, I have made some of the best friends I have ever met. The library is amazing. The lecturers are boring but helpful if you go to them. Accommodation is over priced, as well as the student bar (SANC) and the student club (asylum). But both lovely places.
Very good university if a little unorganised.
University of Hull has a gorgeous campus with excellent facilities. The library is a lovely place to be which encourages students to work, the sports facilities have significantly improved over the years making them top quality facilities. I am proud to be a student at Hull.
Good for hull! union is overly priced even tesco local is cheaper for the same brands
Loved every moment! Social life is great, nights out are cheap with plenty of variety for all tastes. The lecturers I’ve had have been great, and the facilities in the library are first class.
Uni of Hull has a beautiful campus, amazing facilities in particular for drama which I study, and has one of the most accepting and friendly atmospheres I've seen at unis all over the country. I love it here. The students Union is packed with events and venues which each have their own perks, such as the on campus club where on Wednesdays they have a special guest performer. The accommodation is picturesque and the reception desks are always friendly with 24hr service. The WiFi could be better however it hasn't actually failed me yet - it can just be a bit slow to connect at times. The careers service is lifelong once you become a member at the uni which I think makes this uni stand out as unique, looking after it's students long after they leave. Finally the vast array of society's and clubs is almost overwhelming - something for everyone and anyone here.
Fantastic uni, I’ve throughly enjoyed my time here
Although, like many people, Hull was not my first choice uni, it was my insurance choice, i genuinely couldnt be happier with where i am. The staff are friendly and helpful and know exactly what theyre teaching, and the welfare and support teams are second to none. I am so amazingly thankful for this university and will never find a family like my HUSC family, theyre my best friends, and they have the most amazing people!
Very good university, good facilities and lecturers
I have really enjoyed my 3 years at university and would recommend it and the Uni of Hull to anyone.
So happy to be a student at the University of Hull! I am in my third year and I really feel that I made most of my experience there! I have had all the support needed, in terms of help of university staff, campus facilities, library resources.
I was really worried about coming to uni especially as a have an SpLD. however the university have been great with supporting me. I have made many friends both on my course, in my flat and on nights out etc. hull is very social and welcoming and there's lots to do outside of campus so there's no excuse for being bored. my course is great and the lecturers are supportive and dont put you under too much stress or pressure.
Average. Wi-Fi is slow to non existent. Union is overpriced and choice is limited. Whoever though replacing the coffee bar with an ice cream bar (when we're at uni in mainly winter) needs to sort themselves out. Lecturers cba most of the time and help the people who exclusively sit on the front row and no-one else. Activities are alright but unless you know about them in the first week you won't know until the next year as they're not advertised in high traffic areas. One good point though. Pubs are cheap and Wednesday night's at the union nightclub aren't bad at all (except you spend way too much money in the overpriced students nightclub). All in all hull is great if you want a bang average lifestyle and sh*t lecturers which you pay £9k a year for the privilege of. Not. Worth. It.
Sometimes the Wi-Fi can cut out at the accommodation however the Wi-Fi at the uni is good
The library is brilliant! However, studying primary education and sharing a building with other courses is not helpful. Particularly when you need a make shift classroom for your lectures and you end up having to make deal with a lecture theatre.
Love the law society and the uni is trying it's best for all their students, it cares a lot about everyone as shown in recent events with Libby Squire and I love all the effort they have put in ,despite the tragedy
Great facilities, beautiful campus and plenty of coffee shops to unwind in!
I’ve enjoyed the University and it’s structures so far although amelioration in certain fields is needed
Community is great. Uni itself is garbage
I think that this university needs more support for students on the spectrum .And that lecturers have awareness courses on autism
I am an Erasmus student from France and I was really amazed by the campus (the huge library, the sanctuary, the asylum, the sport centre). Everything is made to help foreign students: the lecturers are so good, services as panopto are really helpful.
I really enjoy my time here. I'm really sad it's coming to an end.
Don't go to hull university unless you would like to be bullied by the course director until you crack with your mental health and have to leave. The support system was abysmal and nothing has been done about it, subsequently more students on this 30 person course have had to leave due to mental health.
I absolutely love the university of hull. The campus is beautiful and everything is so easy to find. The library is amazing. I especially love hull university performing arts society as it’s made my time at university so enjoyable and I’ve made so many friends from it.
Lovely, encouraging community with lots to offer and enjoy. Facilities are good. Campus is always clean and a pleasant place to be.
All inclusive university. Lots of societies. Teaching standards are good
Organisation in the course can be an issue but the lectures are generally very good and there are so many resources available
Across the three years spent at the university, each new year brought a new addition to the campus, a new medical building and now a new sports centre for example. The variety of clubs and society on offer means every student can find something to be a part of in their time. The Union was rejigged once or twice, style not for me but social spaces were opened and brought more students in.
Campus is pretty plus my course is interesting and challenging. I really love it.
University of Hull has been more than a place of study for me- Uni of Hull is my home, with such a close community. I feel like a person and not a number here, and know there are countless ways to get support and guidance when I need it. Not to mention the modern facilities and vibrant campus where everyone can socialise together. Wouldn’t change a thing about my time at uni of Hull, so appreciative!
Love going to the Uni of Hull !!! People are all so friendly, love my lecturers and the city is really underrated. Cheapest pint I’ve found in the whole of the UK. Big up Hull!
Everything I’ve needed is there, been easy to rise up to a society committee position and to get my voice heard
A good uni. Lots of activities and amazing tutors.
Surprisingly nice campus and city, met lots of amazing people though societies. S*** SU.
The University of Hull is a great uni with top of the range facilities and excellent teaching. Here, you do not feel like a number on a sheet, but a valued member of the university. Could not recommend this university any more, Hull has a big place in my heart.
Amazing campus and facilities. Great support and societies
I want a refund on my £9000. I am in my final year of university and lecturers for both my courses - including my dissertation class - left. Leaving us with unorganised classes. No structure. An incredible amount of stress, and very little help. It's a shambles.
If you want a University that goes out of its way to ensure you always have what you need then the university of hull is the one for you!
After coming through clearing in 2015 I was really surprised with the quality of teaching here. Lectures want to listen to your questions and are happy to help all the time and the SU has tonnes of great things to get involved with!
