My Univsrsity Experience

(5)·By Kyle M·Sports Science· Jun 2023
My University has a strong, diverse community. Newman is an open armed and very welcoming University when it comes to different cultures. There is a designated prayer room for those in need of it especially during the holy month of Ramadan. I appreciate the amount of focus and one to one help that can be provided due to the university being smaller than other. Teachers are great and are usually teachers first and almost like friends for second. I also enjoy playing for my University football team which is full of a great bunch of lads.

I have absolutely loved my time at Newman - it is the place for you if you want to feel somewhere you belong and are always welcome!

The lecturers are fantastic and engaging, they are extremely creative in their approaches towards learning. You feel they really care about you and remember you as a person, they know your name and want to talk to you!

Freshers week was really good as I had a tour of the university. I made some friends and the stalls were useful to my course as I was able to sign up to various projects to support my studies. The accommodation is located at a perfect distance from university. Facilities are easy to access and very friendly in order to meet the needs of all people. E.g there are ramps put in place for wheelchair users. The library is my favourite place as it is spacious and easy to get around and staff are always happy to help. I have used the sports facilities and really enjoy it Lectures were always there to support us and any questions or enquiries about the course I felt comfortable enough to approach my lectures without hesitation. I love my course City life is great as there is lots to do and I am able to socialise with my friends in public spaces not only uni

It's incredible and very student focused because the class is small so it's easy to focus on the teacher and lesson being taught

The quality of the course.

To start of I'll just state why I personally choose a small university like Newman. It's not only for the fact that you get to know not only the staff, but the other students on your course. Whilst being able to have great quality debates based around topics that are recent, and having your own ideologies on current topics or other aspects of the course either challenged so that you can grow, or just being able to make your own stand points on issues if you lack one. But the small groups are great for those who need more support, due to the fact that you become more than a face in the sea of others, but are actually seen as an individual by all those you work with.

There was a wide range of activities. Activities were running everyday on zoom due to Covid. Unfortunately there was no freshers fair. I personally do not live in it but I have been in my friends and there is alot of space and a nice desk to do University work. These facilities are really good becuase the classrooms have lots of space and the sports centres are really good for teaching PE. I enjoy my lectures as I find them interesting and they do help with my assignment. I feel like I have grown close to my tutors as I get to know them and they get to know my name. I was born in Birmingham so I was already familiar with the city but there is alot near Newman for example Northfield and Bullring.

Freshers week was amazing. There was a variety of activities and days planned ahead for us. So all we had to do was turn up and have fun. Really started the academic year off with a bang! I couldn't say much about it as I didn't live on campus Amazing. Everyone was so helpful and kind. Made me feel right at home! We had help all throughout the year. With honest marking, feedback and lessons planned in accordance! Birmingham was beyond my expectation. Everything was so easily accessible through public transport!
