I've had a lovely time at foundry court. The staff are extremely friendly, and there are a plethora or free events every week. As an international student homesickness is inevitable - especially when you have to spend holidays or cultural events alone. So, I am extremely lucky to have foundry court celebrate Chinese New Year as it honestly was the first time overseas I felt my culture celebrated. On top of that, you can tell that staff really care about your wellbeing. There was one time my light wasn't working, and it was fixed the day after I filed my report (like what?!). This was genuinely the easiest review I've had to write, because I do love living here. I am glad to call it my home away from home. read more

Overall facilties are good however not as great as promised at open day. Some promised equipment has never been used, or is broken. Attitude of staff is where the university really fails. Sadly, students are often spoken down to, concerns are ignored unless in writing. Had I have known I may have considered an alternative university read more

I want to connect with people and meet new people and I have signed to several societies but not one has emailed or done anything to connect us or gather us together. I don't have a lot of understanding as to what the student union building is and what the role is of the student union the careers service is excellent its amazing with a lot of help and support from them. the wifi throughout the whole of UCLAN is brilliant and the campus is gorgeous with amazing facilities I recommend this university to everyone its like a hidden gem not many know about. read more
