Aston University

Really good. Felt welcomed and made new friends. Enjoyed the events on offer. Very comfortable and nice. Secure and felt safe. Library is very good for studying. Students union is great for hanging out with friends. Nice, small course. Lectures were interactive and engaging. City life was the best part. Bullring a short walk away. Great for food and socialising.

Freshers week was great. We were assigned an Aston ‘Aunty' per flat which enabled us to host flat parties and helped make these fun. This provided the opportunity to get to know each other whilst also informing us about what being at Aston is like and providing tips. The accommodation is great. It is fully cleaned monthly and rooms are spacious enough. The price is high however being on campus is definitely worth it as it's very convenient. All facilities were great. The library was spacious and offered 3 different floors based on levels of noise which was optimal for your required usage. Classrooms were spacious and comfortable and the new student Union is a great area to socialise with friends too as it contains a pool table, bar, restaurant and events for things such as boxing fights. The course provided a wide array of subjects in 1st year which enabled you to decide which area you wanted to specialise in. The 2nd and final year modules are heavily weighted to modules which you choose which makes it enjoyable as the modules you study are in the area you like/chose. The university is a 5 minute walk away from the town centre which is very convenient as the town centre is large and has a variety of restaurants and retail stores. The main strip of bars is also relatively close (5 mins by car) which is convenient for outgoing people like myself!

Really good, loads of events to attend to meet people and the freshers fair for the societies/clubs was really good! Really clean and on campus location so easy to get to class Library is really good although there could be more individual seating in the silent areas as studying on group floors can be distracting. The gym is brilliant! And the new SU is fab My Neuroscience course is really informative and all the lecturers are great at explaining stuff and are there to help. The practical sessions especially are better than many universities I went to open days for. Being in the city but on a campus university is great because everything you need is on campus but you have the social aspect of being so close to the city, and easy transport links for getting home at the holidays.

Freshers week was so good. We were so well looked after, got to learn our way around and got to know each other. Loads of great promos and deals on offer too. I wouldn't know a lot as I don't live on campus. From what I've seen, the accommodation is really nice and modern. The facilities are amazing. The library is so so well maintained and is perfect for studying whether that's in groups or on your own. My lectures are so good because all of my lectures have real world experience, it's not just head knowledge. The course is designed to that it give us academic knowledge as well as practical wisdom and skills. The city is amazing. Incredibly easy to get to, so many student amenities, loads of restaurants.

Great Uni ngl

For week one freshers week was filled with many different events including clubs and society fairs. These fairs as well at trials at university clubs laid the foundation for meeting other freshers and forming friendships. Aston's freshers week was extremely beneficial. Aston University's accommodation was very good. The rooms were very clean upon arrival with lots of storage room and plenty of space in the room. The accommodation team were always on hand and very quick and efficient in aiding any problems you may have. The facilities were extremely good. The library was very spacious and split over several floors which provided many different types of areas to study so you could always find somewhere to suit you. Areas such as the student union were very lively and a great area to meet-up with friends. The courses were extremely interactive with lectures always finding ways to relate examples to students in a way that is simple to understand. The lectures and seminars were also very lively meaning students' attention was always captured and the lecturers were extremely approachable if students had any questions. City life was extremely lively. Being located near the centre of Birmingham meant there were many clubs and restaurants nearby to visit where many other students would be. Also many of these clubs hosted student nights making it even more lively for university students.

It's a good course with a lot to learn

I am a final year student, studying Spanish at Aston University. My overall university experience at Aston has been incredible. Firstly, the campus accommodation is exceptional and the campus itself is so convenient due to its compact nature, and all the necessities are easily accessible. Also, Birmingham town centre is a 10 minute walk from campus which features a large number of shops, restaurants and a great variety of nightlife.

Furthermore, the standard of teaching on my course has been outstanding, the lectures are all experts in their field and always approachable if extra help is needed.

Freshers week was good, there was loads of events to choose from, if anything the choice was a bit overwhelming. But it was fun and was a good insight into Birmingham nightlife. Definitely the best of all my accommodations which is surprising for a first year halls. Clean (mostly), safe, but noisy but that's expected from halls. Really good and very well equipped. We got a brand new SU last year and it's so nice! Modules were varied and informative. The types of assessment were different too which gave you a good insight into what to choose for your final year modules. Birmingham is great, as with everywhere it has its rough areas but there's always something to do and loads of cool places to go to, especially round Digbeth way.

This year it was good enough and I learned quit a lot of stuff and I meet a lot of different people.
