The university offers a range of excellent accommodation and facilities but lacks investment in catering and outlets. The university lacks in outstanding student experience in an area that is uniquely close to London and the countryside.
The campus is beautiful and the new buildings are very spacious and liveable. The library could haave a few more study spaces, as it's always quite busy and sometimes it's difficult to find a place. The lecturers in my course are very available to anyone.

I find the university exclusive for people from poorer backgrounds (e.g. the gym is too expensive, just like halls of accomodation or any other service)
The university is good, however there is poor access to things for students. They do not make timetables adaptable for students who work/have other commitments. The library is very good
A great little community set on a very picturesque campus just outside of London! Very close-knit with some lovely teaching staff. Also just had a new library built which is great. Downsides include the lack of nightlife, the SU and also our sexist principle!
The essentials are absolutely fantastic, the department is very supportive and the lecturers are engaging. The problem for me is the cost of the SU shop and nights at the SU,the student's union also takes most of the societies' fees which means they cannot afford to hold events or invite speakers.
The course is not what I expected and as a consequence I changed from a single to a joint course. If you wanna party, the SU and Medicine is good, but the societies are the highlight of my experience.
The campus is beautiful, but does not accommodate the amount of student especially the library. The facilities are perfect for the their purpose. I love my course but I could have more support. I've had no issues with the student union. I have loved my university experience.

Could have more fairer financial supports.

They have been very helpful and quickly responded to people.
The campus is one of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen, especially in the snow! It’s also the perfect size to walk around as you can get from your accommodation to the lecture in exactly 7 minutes. It’s about a 15 to the nearest station which has a straight train to central London and Windsor which is a good place for shopping and places to eat. The health centre is awful; you can expect to wait up to a week for an appointment and for counselling services. The SU shop is also extremely overpriced but convienent is you just need the essentials like bread etc. Lecture theatres are excellent or quite frankly abysmal depending on your course. For history, the facilities are generally very nice but you will Move about due to changes in the timetable. I know that Buisness and Management have lectures in one of the nicer buildings and the lectures are also recorded to re-watch later. The History course is both good and bad. The compulsory first year modules can be boring and seem pointless at times and it seems to take a while for assements to be marked. There are some really informative and passionate lecturers as well which really helps. We get some really cool guest speakers such as public historian Greg Jenner (Horrible Histories). In terms of workload, there is a fair amount of essay writing but the course requires A LOT of reading. The Student Union is average. Some good themes nights out and events such as the weekly ‘Give it a go’ activities and Disney movie nights. It also seems good at making changes, just not major ones in regards to changing facilities. Careers services seem to be quite good. I have not gone to them myself but there are always events being held by different industries and a termly careers fairs. The organisation of the University is good. On the first day, everything was clearly laid out for you for what you had to do and sign up for. If you need help they make it clear who and where you need to go to, even if the process is quite long. Overall, I’d recommend the university to someone who enjoys a small and quiet environment and not after the typical “wild party” experience offered by other universities.

They hold lots of nights out for LGBT support such as the ‘Rainbow Rave’ which is very popular. They offer bursaries for low-income students to help with the cost of things and so that you don’t miss out on some experiences. However, things like a year abroad and some of the activities are incredibly expensive and so seem to be available for very high-income students.

Awful. Staff are rude and the waiting time for the services is 2 weeks. I am lucky enough to come from near by and so just use my GP from home still.
My course was beyond expectations. I have a great time and go to all my classes. Lots to do on campus and great nightlife. Everyone is super friendly and it's a beautiful campus with a state of the art library.
The campus is wonderful and the library is excellent however there needs to be more spaces in the library. The teachers and lecturers are all extremely helpful and I love my course !

Doctors services always extremely slow, rude receptionists, and unhelpful
I was there once, because my friend studied there and they had a meeting of graduates. Therefore, I was honored with a small excursion.
I can say that I have never seen a more beautiful university. If I were the director of films, I would shoot my film there.
People were friendly, staff, too.
However, special attention should be paid to the library. The library fascinates you at first sight. It would be more than such universities.

Beautiful campus with amazing teachers and facilities. Good structure within the departments and general school organization. A well rounded school offering many different subjects and extracurricular activities for students. The wifi tends to periodically stop working but it depends on location. The departments are very dedicated to making sure students find careers after graduating a huge plus in today's economy. One limit is lack of variety in work; science and math department's are required to write multiple essay's which within certain departments doesn't make sense as a way to test knowledge. A boarder range of work for students would be extremely helpful for students to learn.
