Uni is amazing wish uni did more social events and trips away
Great campus and university to live in
It is a really welcoming and diverse institution
great campus, good facilities, amazing social settings
The location is great-close to the shops and buses that have direct access to the city centre. However the room are a bit small and not soundproof at all. The police station near the accommodation also makes a lot of noise so can be disturbing when trying to sleep or study.
great uni, many different types of people, lots of different activities to get involved in and many courses and classes to be involved in.
I’ve loved my experience at Peel Park. I love to catch up with my flatmates in the kitchen after a long day at uni, and the maintenance staff are always quick and efficient. I’ve met so many new people being surrounded my students all the time- which is great. My flat is close to my uni building and within walking distance from Manchester, which makes nights out way cheaper! I feel safe Living at Peel Park.
could be more restaurants/ food places on campus, however the market does make up for this which is a great addition
I enjoy studying here. Pretty good facilities
This university has been great in providing my media and performance course at an amazing level
Great uni! Not much to say else! More shops and stuff to do in evenings and weekends on campus would be good
SU often offer free sports and activities to join. They have a really comprehensive sports centre on campus and near Peel Park. Plenty of space to study and rest.
The experiences provided by Salford have been amazing. The classes are fantastic and the technology used is fantastic and offered so many different experiences to all students.
I really like the facilities within Peel Park and everyone is very friendly and helps out people that need something!
I am enjoying my time studying here so far, the teaching staff are friendly and are ready to help. The campus is nice and the amenities are useful
Good facilities available on site managed by great staff. Overall decent value for money for somebody looking to stay.
Lovely location and security. Great access to transport.
The staff are exceptional and if I have anything of concern they are there to listen and take on board the content of the conversation. The campus is accessible throughout the day and even, so you can use their facilities if required. The course itself is constructive and balanced and introduces new prospective outlooks on your future that you may not have considered about. Overall, a fantastic University.
Great campus and easy to get into town
The student union are great at getting everyone involved and the societies are amazing in helping you make friends and leave your flat!
Maintenance workers ate great and efficient
I love how involved lecturers are with students and how the school takes reviews from students seriously
The University of Salford takes good care of its students and actively preps them for the job market.
Welcoming environment, lecturers are super helpful and supportive! Great experience so far and proud to be a part of Salford Uni!
The university compass has everything that I need, and the societies have opened my eyes in trying different hobbies
The campus is nice and modern, the buildings have good connection as well as computer facilities to make use of, there are many nice social spaces around the campus and campus buildings to spend time between lectures.
At day one, I was super nervous and confused of the whole process of immigration, but Hayley and Simon treated me warmely and this was so thoughtful of them. I expected a good place to stay, but honestly speaking, I was so great. I would like to thank all the staffs and managers for creating this lovely place.
I have enjoyed my time attending societies and events at the student union in atmosphere
University is great, everything is in one place, the library, new adelphi, student union
they are so lovely and helpful

University experience is encouraging to international student and one doesn’t feel out of place.
Sometimes the uni seems like it could do with some better time management. Classes often aren't where initially timetabled due to conflicts with other classes.
Campus has excellent facilities and friendly environment.

Very good I enjoy the atmosphere lots
the student union is a good laugh, bandeoke is mint

I really enjoy studying at Salford because the facilities are amazing
Close to social areas and necessary places such as shops or parks to be outside
Easy to log on to WiFi and use it everywhere
This accommodation has been great for me in terms of staffing and it is definately suited to living the "uni lifestyle"
yeah, it’s actually really nice. i like playing pool
Really nice, very friendly always a good vibe
overall quite good, plenty of different societies
Great for international students
I am really enjoying my social life and have made lots of friends through societies. The staff are really welcoming which helps a lot with feelings of uneasiness.
My experience has been nice but there isn't an acceptable quality of communication with staff due to the unreliable reception staff. Also I wish there was better quality and diverse societies which I would be interested in.
it’s been fabulous! i really enjoyed my time here!
The number of societies and clubs is amazing so many to choose from. the facilities and student union are all extremely good condition and enjoyable places to spend time
Really good campus close to many things with shops within campus such as the convenience store, the library is really good as it has everything you need. I’ve not been to a club or social but my friends have been and really enjoyed them and they are well advertised during freshers week and through the year. The student union is really good with lots of places to sit and many events on such as the quiz every Monday and everything is really affordable. Reason for the 3 star is due to the access to it can be really annoying in building like Mary Seacole.

Really nice campus, in a good area
I haven’t had one bad experience here, it’s amazing for first year accommodation!
Kind, compassionate staff & environment.
Great receptionists, always there to help
good experience, haven't joined a society but good amount
Highly enjoy the facilities, love what there’s about
Perfect stuff, nothing to complain about
Good for first year halls of residence
Really good events and facilities to use for different societies.
Great choice, great variety of things to do
Very friendly staff with a wide array of support.
I think we should and a few more society’s that are less sports based, may be like musical theatre for example!!
It’s fun ayayyayayayayaya aofmfnjd atatga nooooo I can’t add morne
slay nice great your mum hot chocolate
Excellent service. I am truly impressed.
perfect location and people lots to do
Very good open access and activities
It is a good university that has a lot to offer
not too many clubs but great campus location
Campus facilities are good however it would be good to have more Macs and computers capable of running software such as davinci resolve in the library. Some buildings are fairly outdated. Great student union but wish there were a few more societies
Very good experience and safe place to start your first year at university
I like it there a lot, amazing library!
Facilities and equipment are great but difficult to access. Support is good but again not easily accessible. SU events are fun and societies are excellent
The washing and drying machines could do with improvement, for the amount of students using them they are unreliable and low in both quality and quantity. The societies are mostly sport related and don’t cater to everyone’s personal needs but there are a lot of them for sport.The student union is good, cheap drinks and close to living quarters.
Great music facilities with very helpful teachers.
Lovely uni I don’t regret going here great with mental health
Campus is generally quite good, nothing much to complain about
I like the events there are at the Student Union
As an international student, I feel like there could a bit more effort put into creating a space to connect international students. But, overall I enjoy my time here.
I am a first year and my impression so far is amazing! so many opportunitiesss and such friendly staff to guide you through your course!. I have had a great time and can say I’m looking forward to the next 2 years which isn’t anything I thought I’d say toward education
the university career service is most definitely accessible however you have to make yourself aware that it exist as in lectures there is no mention
Good campus, good teaching. No issues so far. Would recommend.
I love the societies, they are the best bits for me but the cheer society needs more funding
The wifi is really unreliable on non-university equipment and the careers service is not very useful from my experience.
I have been chanced to meet with individuals from various backgrounds and being able to learn about their culture has broadened my mindset and helped me see things differently.
my only complain is that i feel as though there could be more clubs and societies that aren't sports related, such as course specific societies
The university of Salford is pretty good
Good experience. The society's and student union are great and there is a big selection to choose from. They provide a great way to meet new people and do the things u love
University of Salford is a top-notched University with excellent learning and research facilities, with very supportive staff too. The great deal is that the Uni is relatively affordable and accepts 7 tuition fee payments installments plan. However the management should provide more comfortable students accommodations especially for postgraduate students and International students.
WiFi good in most spaces although some areas don’t have the best WiFi, very helpful staff and very enjoyable and social experience.
A friendly university which are doing their best to help students have a smooth academic journey.
