The University of Northampton

Overall a good university would be better if there was a car park for students to use as the buses are very unreliable

The study building is nice and secure by the ID barriers and security on site. There are loads of cafe facilities and the library is really useful.

I’m currently a third year student on placement. I’m very unsatisfied with the move to waterside campus. For one, having no car parking for students is ridiculous. I am a commute student and chose to go to Northampton uni so I could save money through living at home and commuting. I now have to drive twice the distance past uni, to park my car, get a bus (that I have to pay for plus petrol), then drive practically all the way back home to get to uni. How ridiculous does that sound?

The university of Northampton has a lovely new campus at Waterside. My course is very stimulating and engaging. I have many opportunities to study in different areas which accommodate learning needs and I appreciate the support from staff members.

Amazing staff and friendly colleagues . Transferred here after a gruelling two years at my old university and it was the best choice I could have made

Fantastic university, great facilities, the course I studied Architectural Technology, was excellent the content, lectures, ECT.

I attended The University of Northampton studying BA Policing where I attended Park Campus. The Campus had very good facilities with everything that was needed. There was a 24 hour library at the campus which was very useful to get assignments completed. BA Policing was very challenging at times with opportunities to learn a vast amount of law and investigation. The facilities were very good as they allowed you to experience real life situations such as the use of the interview room and mock flat.

The uni recently came up with a refurbishment. The buliding is not very practical everything is too close together. Lifts never work so many students have to walk up the Staries. Maintenance needs better work on the building why if kbee stuff keeps breaking ?

The campus itself is very new and professional, I love the new design and it makes me feel like I'm at a good university. The facilities are very good too. I enjoy my course massively and I believe the teachers are very good.

The university has fantastic facilities and the 24 hour library has been a massive help during my studies. The new site has brought everyone together from two separate campuses which is a great idea. The food caters for many diets and many cultures, which is great when Northampton is such a diverse town. It is close to local amenities. High teaching quality and great support for employment opportunities.

Good new campus. New facilities and the accommodation is new but sometimes the things in the accommodation break. Overall good uni and enjoyable, please sort out the parking!

everything is good the facilities are amazing the student union is good , I don't know much about the careers service but organisations are good aswelll

The new campus is really pretty. It is huge and right near a river and very modern looking. However, my biggest issue is the lack of student parking. It's quite shocking that a new campus was built and students needs weren't even taken into consideration.

Good intentions, bad output. Lack of focus on students and more on marketing of the university. The new campus is nice but quality of teaching hasn't changed, are some really good teachers but are a lot of poor quality teachers who are either ill a lot of constantly reading off a slide show.

The university of Northampton has many positive aspects of it. One being the fact that it is easily accessible by bus, and with a student card, the bus is very cheap.

The new site looks fab but food is expensive, not enough water is accessible, only 1 microwave on the whole site to warm up food from home. Not enough books available, course changes from previous years means less contact time with tutors which I don't like. No parking on site for students, I worked in the library last week till 1am.. no bus to take me back to park and ride.. after getting a lift, the park and ride was closed with my car inside! Not happy, I got home at 3am that morning

Good location, amazing facilities but the wifi often lack and when submitting an assignment and it drops out is not helpful. Good student help available from mental health to social acceptability.

The university has built a new, beautiful campus- Waterside. New and innovative buildings make it feel like a free and open space, giving positive vibes for new learning experiences. As beautiful as the new campus is, it is very obvious sometimes that the experiences are new to everyone, not just the students. There have been issues with internet connections, accommodation, timetables, etc. However, university is always trying their best to respond quickly and are happy to help and support everyone in this new experience. The university has undertaken a different university approach of teaching and learning, which makes this university quite unique. Overall, University of Northampton tries their best to support their student, giving them lots of support and opportunities.

The new campus is very pretty and modern, but it's not very practical. New students get either discount or a free laptop, but nothing was done for the rest of us. Also, the accommodation is cool but expensive

The university is diverse and has a lot of substance to it. It's not just a place to learn, it also brings its culture with the area, do allows you to grow and meet new people. It's wonderful and friendly

I've had a lot of ups and downs at this uni. The councelling staff are amazing and really supportive when I've gone through stuff but I feel that paying millions of pounds for a campus with no parking is really questionable when a lot of students have cars or can't afford to get a house close to uni where there is easy bus access. Not only that but some of the uni rules are too strict for no reason but

The new campus is absolutely fantastic, it's so modern and definitely creates a more motivating environment. I still find the library quite confusing to get around though. The prices of drinks such as coffee and hot chocolate are slightly too expensive.

Really enjoy the new waterside campus, such a friendly campus and all the teachers are lovely. Would definitely recommend to anyone, who is worried about uni.

The campus is brand new, so modern. They have loads of facilities available to students and keep costs at a minimum by providing the majority of books needed online! The organisation of the lectures are done so far in advance that you are able to look into the topic before the lecture to get a head start
