Animal Science, Year 2
Freshers in 2019 was amazing. It was run by Onit Events and they got some top quality acts in, which drew in so much attention - meaning we made so many new friends. We loved it!! It's really clean and affordable. I've always felt very at home in any accommodation linked to the University and they've always been super helpful. The lecture theatres are lovely and bright and spacious. The library is very well equipped with computers and books. I play badminton at the University and the sports facilities are amazing. The lectures before lockdown were really good and motivated me. It was also good to meet other people on my course and work with loads of different people. The lab facilities at Chester are also amazing, I really enjoy practical sessions. Chester is a really safe place to live, I have never felt threatened or worried walking home from a night out. The clubs in Chester are perfect as it's fairly close knit and you usually know everybody you see. It's not absolutely packed but it's always lively and I've enjoyed every night out here!

Art and design, Year 1
My university experience is rather good if I do say so myself. The beginning is rather slow as we're doing little icebreakers in order to get to know our class mates but it's all fun and games until the workload comes raining down on us and everyone is panicking and stressing over the work and trying to finish it on time.

Marketing, Graduate
I studied marketing and tourism at University of Chester for my undergraduate and am currently studying a MSc in sustainable heritage practice. My undergraduate experience was amazing. I made amazing memories and friends for life. I learnt a lot from the course and the experience changed me for the better.
Throughout the ups and downs, it was the best experience of my life. It's experience to remember. It's provided me with lots of knowledge and experience for jobs and the big wide world.

Business and management studies, Year 1
As a commuter to the university I thought I'd have a really horrific university experience. But thanks to Chester and their induction week, I've settled in and have made loads of friends.

Medicine, Year 2
It was good. Went out everyday. Made friends that week that all lived in my accommodation. Very sad there was no freshers this year. It's very good. I was in a studio room in the centre of the campus. So it was in the best position to wake up as late as possible and was really nice t have my own kitchen and bathroom. The library is nice and very large. It has a large selection of books and journals and lots different computer and study rooms. Sporting areas are also good and student union bar is large and has 2 rooms and 2 bars. It also has a restaurant - well it did last year. Good lectures who know a lot about my course and have experience in the field. Course is very good and has an organised placement. City is lovely and quaint but with all necessary shops. Only a few major clubs but lots of pubs, bars and restaurants.

Art / Design, Year 2
It was pretty great, they had really good informative events on about the university and they had great night events too. Really good, they have lots of different options depending on where you want to stay. They have many new buildings too. The library is really great, able to stay late if needed. The students union is a good atmosphere too. The course and lectures were good because of the teachers and the facilities that the university have. City life is pretty quite, but really nice. Chester is a small but bustling place, full of students, so you feel welcome.

Law, Year 1
The campus is small and friendly offering a nice sense of community, it is walkable from most accommodations meaning money is saved in regards of travelling etc. The lecturers keep the course interesting and are incredibly helpful and supportive when it comes to learning. Overall it's been an incredible experience so far. The city is safe and clean and there is plenty to do for students. Very glad I came to university as this is an experience I would regret missing.

Nursing, Graduate
Freshers week was very different as was put with all nurses and had university every day 9-16.30 so didn't get the full freshers experience as had to be up early and learn to be a professional I live in private halls first year which we very nice and good location for university and hospital The riverside campus needs updating with my study areas, library on main campus was a lot more accessible but needs more health and social care books The lectures were relevant to my course and was always support from lectures The city was just what I needed not something to big as I was from a small town, everything I needed was on my doorstep
