A good supporting uni

I like Coventry university very much. From before I was enrolled on a course I knew it was the university for me. Now that I am in my last semester of my final year I still know I made the correct choice. The university is very supportive, with many facilities you can access to cover a wide range of areas including those that take care of your mental health and well-being. The course is also taught in a very good way that helps me to learn and the module leaders are very understanding and adaptive when students ask questions and examples to be given to help gain more understanding of the course.

Freshest week was very fun. One of the wildest experience of all time. Got to meet new friends and create good connections Coventry university has one of the best accommodations. It is quiet affordable and is welcoming to international students The university has the best facilities one can think of. The library is well equipped and they have engaging extra curricular activities to keep one going when school is busy with the book life The best part about the course and lectures are the tutors because they make the experience engaging City life in Coventry was good because it was welcoming to international student and the people are friendly

Loads of events were given out including exclusive deals given specifically to Coventry University students throughout the whole of town. Everyone was really welcoming, including staff, students and people hosting the events. The accommodations have grown throughout the city centre and continue to get build meaning they are new and they often get refurbished and updated. The library is the best university library I have been to out of 5 different universities including Birmingham University. There's plenty opportunity to get into sports etc. through different groups available. The classrooms vary quite a lot, they usually are very spacious and easy to engage in learning. I am in my final year of Criminal Psychology (Forensics Psychology). It is good because it covers aspects of psychology that I find most interesting, why people commit to violent behaviours, what triggers people to start a life of crime. The lecturers are also very engaged and enthusiastic about their subject area. I grew up in Coventry so the city has became a bit stale, however I still do not believe it is a bad place to live. It is growing at an incredible pace and that progress will only grow further.

Nursing, Year 1

Because I started in February. I did not have the typical freshers experience with the raving and partying but other than that it was a good introduction. Just wish I was treated like September freshers and got all the freebies they did

Coventry’s accomodation is amazing and accommodating. The buildings are managed 24/7 and security is very helpful. The decor is amazing and you pay exactly what it’s worth

All of the facilities in the uni are state of art. Being a nursing student the simulation suites were important because that is what I’d be practicing on. The sim suites blew me away and basically confirmed why I wanted to go here. The hub and library are 24 hours with staff on hand. Amazing facilities.

THE course is very immersive same with lectures and seminars you’re not getting taught at. They include you in discussions and make sure you’re heard

City life is amazing in the midlands. Always something to do. All the events both the uni and uni promoters host here always live up to expectations. It’s amazing

Be ready for a lot of work! It’s not going to be easy but it will definitely be rewarding. I’ve heard nothing but positives from those on the nursing courses and I too myself even though have just started, is definitely going to enjoy it

University is like trying to eat soup with a fork when you've never lived away from home on your own with no idea how ovens work or the cost of cheese. Nevertheless, university has taught me so much in just a few months and it's a decision I will never regret. Coventry offers so much through the SU, nearby pubs and clubs and the course itself offering me a future. It's given me so many opportunities to create a perfect future for myself and an amazing and exciting current life while I'm here. Coventry, you're doing amazing sweetie x

Absolutely amaizing! So many opportunities. They are constantly striving to improve student experience (the new hls building is incredible). The city as well is full of good nightlife/restaurants/events that are all great to experience. Short commute into Birmingham for their nightlife too!

Great so far, everyone is very friendly, all the staff are very approachable, work load is easily manageable, lecturers have dedicated drop in times if you require extra help with anything, lecture material is easy to access outside of the lectures both before and after the lecture has taken place which is great for getting ahead of the curve or catching up if need be, the accommodation available is spacious with plenty of desk space and plenty of storage space, the kitchen is adequately equipped, the toaster is a bit on the small side though, internet connection is very fast and free.

It was helpful due to the support. Gave an insight on his university life will entail and showed me how supportive the teachers are going to be! Also was great fun and met loads of people.. I currently commute from Birmingham to Coventry, not using an accommodation.. Amazing! Always a computer free in the library and great support in the library such as SIGMA. Also making learning fun with the different floors and rooms. Classrooms are perfect and comfortable personally.. Lectures are great! Giving breaks when needed and very surprisingly interactive which is a bonus. The course itself shows many opportunities and experiences which is pivotal especially in the first year of university.. The city itself has loads of fun activities and loads of great places to eat! Always going out to eat after a long day of revision is amazing in Coventry!. Very supportive and helpful. Great 1 to 1 if needed and very consise with the learning.

It was very well organised! University prepared very interesting stations all over the university and students were very involved in it. I cannot forget also about free Dominos pizza :) There is a big choice of places around university. Many students are choosing this option as it's very close to the main campus. Rooms are in the great condition. Library is one of the best one I have ever seen! Also there is no problem to find a computers available for students to work on them everywhere on campus. Classrooms are very modern and everything is well visible Lectures are always well organised. Amazing staff! They are always ready to help, there is no problem for them to find a time for their students Everyone can easily find something for themselves in the city. There are nice restaurants and bars, but also clubs and shops. There is no need to travel anywhere else as everything what you need, you can find here
