So far, the course has been very intriguing and I am enjoying it. A variety of different psychology theories and aspects of life are taught, which helps with choosing what to do in the future.

The university is perfect! Great resources and facilities for all students. The staff and other students are friendly and helpful.

I would recommend this university to anyone. Great opportunity for careers and many lectures from people in the industry.

Freshers Week was fun! It was full of fun activities, drunk nights and exploring the city. It's a number of student accommodations to choose from. They have shared accommodations of flat studios. I recommend the flat studios. The facilities at De Montfort are always a comfortable setting to be in. The library is huge you can find literally everything you are looking for pertaining to school work in there. If you do not have a computer don't worry the 24hr library is there for you. The course gives you the knowledge you need to get into your career goal. The lectures are very useful and if you miss a lecture you have a website you can go on to review the missed lecture. The lecturers are there to help! City life in Leicester is fun. There are number of things to do. You can go fun golf. You can go to the movies. You can go to the clubs with your friends to just have a good time. Everything is in walking distance.

Well there wasn't much to do because of COVID 19 and such. So I didn't do anything.. I stay at home but I know that they are really good. And they get cleaners etc The library is a good place to work at since it's quiet and there's loads of useful resources. The student union is very helpful too I do Pharmacy there's a lot of help and the lectures are very clear to understand The city life is fun. There's a lot of food places and things to do around Leicester

It was good experience around campus and getting aware of my surroundings. It was good activity during day and night life. Where we had option if I wasn't comfortable going out late Good accommodation. Stayed at flat first year which was really close to my studio. 4 minutes walk. Very helpful. Good parking spaces for family visiting. Also close to town and train station Library was good. It was open 24/7 with security always at door. Helped having different floors with noise level. My design studio was brand new building so big spaces, new furniture and facilities. I studied textiles design and the lectures were good and fun. Mostly practical. Some lectures were in classroom with more theory based which were more helpful for some students. I loved the city life there. Always something going on. I was around campus and town was 5 to 10 mins away. There was more to explore in city every time I went there.

Brilliant! You get to meet so many new people and make friends for a life time! Cannot complain about the accommodation much as they're very decent for the prices that you pay. I would recommend Upperton studios for anyone going to study! The library is a serious spot for students, as you also meet people there and people make it extremely fun to go and make studying fun! The course itself if extremely interesting and exciting and it's got so much to it that people think. It allows you to deeply think and understand certain stuff. Leicester seems like a very chilled place with lovely people. The nightlife is crazy! Would recommend it 100%

Accounting, Year 3

(5)·By Anjuman K·Accounting· Jul 2021
Freshers week at De Montfort University was very vibrant to say the least. There was always something to do - even if it was something that you wouldn't usually do. Unfortunately - I've never actually lived in DMUs accommodation. However - I know that some have had very pleasant experiences. The facilities are amazing! Although were in a pandemic right now - the library was my go to place to study. Its a very well thought out place - a room and or floor tailored to each and everyone's needs when studying. When comparing my experience to my sibling - who had also studied accounting, I can confidently say that I've had better lecturers who support you throughout your time at dmu. They really do encourage you to think about your future and where life can really take you - with that being said, they also encourage you to take any and every opportunity that comes your way. Again - unfortunately I actually live in the city so life at university hadn't changed dramatically. Although - I was taking more time out to actually enjoy nature and not the city, really and truly explore what the place had to offer.

Freshers week in 2019 was great, so many events on and so many different people to meet it's easy to make friends DMU accommodations nice and easy to make friends I would definitely recommend staying in student accommodation for your first year The library is usually open 24 hours and the DMU vjay petal usually closes at 9 so access is 24 hours which is handy Variety with modules, access to facilities Leicester has one of the best night life's I've experienced

It was a very enjoyable and welcoming experience. I was able to make a few friends during this week. DMU's accommodations are inviting and clean. They are also very safe. DMU provides the best and latest facilities. The library is kept organised and the student union is a warm and welcoming place for students to socialise. The course was interesting and challenging. Lectures were engaging and well prepared. City life was exciting and enjoyable. DMU is walking distance to the city centre.

It was great fun, there was lots of stools which we got to know people and make new friends. We also had the chance to join societies and for and insight of what's it's like to study at dmu It was great. Clean and tidy and the staff were really nice and the other students who were living there too were friendly The library's were very good. There was one main library called kimberlin which was open 24hours and was for everyone. And for law students we also had our own library which was good because resources were more easily accessible. Classrooms were good for the class size and lecture rooms were good. Student union was a great place to meet up friends and relax and just next to it was a spa so good snacks and they did also sell food in student union as well as the food hall which was opposite The course was great because the lecturers were really good at delivering information. They were always there if you had a question. Lectures were also recorded so if you missed anything in your notes you could always find out what it was by listening to the lectures The city life was the best. I come from a small town and to experience being in Leicester was really nice. I'd consider moving there in the future. Everything was easily accessible and very nice food mmm

Fresher week was really good. I met a lot of nee people and made a lot of friends and at the same time it didn't effect my studies as i started of with induction There is a lot of choice for accommodation and in my first year of accommodation i meta lot of people. One tip is that you need to book accommodation fast as the best ones get booked first Amazing I could go to my studio to work till 12 at night and if i wanted to carry on studying the library was available 24 hours which was so helpful The good things is that you have a variety of modules and different forms of learning. For example lectures essays coursework tests and etc Leicester is an amazing place for student life as everything is close by walking distance. There are also quite a lot of things to do to relax as aswell
