Many activities to do and the nights out were so much fun. Freshers fair was good because you could meet people and join different societies. There was also activities for commuting students to meet each other. There was a good lineup of celebrities as well. I stayed in college lane which was brand new accommodation at the time. It was quite spacious with good storage and a double bed. The kitchen had enough fridge space and freezer space as well as integrated appliances that were easy to use. Each person got their own cupboard for storing their food and there was a tv in the kitchen. Easily accessible especially to those on campus. There's is good parking on campus as well for those commuting. The library was open 24/7 which was very useful when there were deadlines and during exams. The library had a lot of seating and computers as well as Mac suites and meeting rooms. The classrooms had lots of space and speakers so it was easy to hear the lecturers. The course was really good. Allowed us to learn through lectures and apply our knowledge through workshops and dispensing sessions. The lecturers were very friendly and easily approachable for any questions we had. They also provided good support during exams. The lectures were posted online so we could refer to the slides and they were recorded to so we could listen to it later as well. The university is in Hatfield. This is 25 mins from London on a direct train from Hatfield Station. So it was easy to get to London (kings cross) and go out at night and during the day to various places. The uni is very close to the station and there is a bus that goes there which is £1 for students so it was affordable. There's also an asda in Hatfield for weekly shopping as well as an Aldi.

Really good, got an intro to all the buildings and events. A few day time social gatherings to get to know people. They were really good and well maintained. With all the facilities you could want. Our library was amazing, it was really big. So you could always find equipment or an empty space to yourself. They were very well set up. We also had smaller tutorials which broke down parts of lectures We had a club and bars that were run by the University so they were very good and cheap

Freshers was one of the best experiences! We had so many different nights out, day activities and social events! These all made finding new people and friends so much easier and fun The accommodation at Hertfordshire is amazing! It's spacious and so homey! It is safe and secure with security on hand 24/7. The facilities are immaculate and it's really affordable! Everything on campus is of high standard! The library is huge with lots of space to study both as groups and independently. Each accommodation block has its own common room with games and TVs. The other facilities such as washrooms, student union etc are all easily accessible and friendly social spaces The course contains a good structure for the modules and materials! It covers a wide range of information meaning you can explore different avenues related to the subject. The lectures are always informative and the lecturers are friendly and approachable Hatfield is a friendly town with lots of shops and pubs to go to! As well St Albans, which is 10 minutes away is lovely, with amazing bars and shopping centres for all your needs

As a student of University of Hertfordshire I'm pretty proud. We have this huge campus that literally feels like one winter wonderland. Loads of students studying, roaming around, busy doing something and there will always be something's going on on campus yet this feels like home and this serenity is always there. This giant sized library is my most favourite thing out of everything. Our study system is amazingly organised, lovely teachers are always there for you to help you with your studies. Love this University.

It's was great and helpful. It allowed me to get an idea of what the uni experience would be like as well as making a couple of friends beforehand! It's very modern and has great facilities. It's very sociable. They were great. Have sufficient resources. A wide range of activities to do, so no one day is the same. It's very interesting, so of course supporting my future career goal development. Sufficient resources and support from the university. Great layout of classes to be in top of your work. Not much is in the actual city of the university. But local towns are great place to visit. London is also quickly accessible using trains.

Great. The university so helpful for students in every possible way. They make sure every student is healthy. They have people to contact talk and about your physical/mental health. There are enormous talks sessions about LSBT, relationship abuse, entrepreneurship, etc. For education, they makes sure that each and every student performs well in their course and can get the most out of it, they give all the help possible whether it be personal support, group discussions, or resources. They provide a huge rage of facilities for students to choose from. They support a lot for the part-time, internship or placement and graduate jobs.

Film, Year 2

It was amazing because I got to meet a lot of people from different courses before the ubi even actually started,which I think is really important specially for international students like me.

It has many different types of accommodation to choose from which is great because it suits everyone’s budget and taste.The rooms are quite spacious and cozy.

We have two libraries one for each campus and they are both great,we have group or individual quiet study areas,all the resources we need,caffeterias etc.

I like my course because I’m studying what I always wanted to in the best possible way,the course programme is great and the lecturers not only care about our education but we can also speak to them about private things which is very important.

Hatfield is a pretty small town but we have a lot of fun because of the number of students that live on campus

We do a lot of practiacl work which I think is very important,lecturers are the best you can get and we do everything in groups which is important because it gets us prepared for the industry.
