Amazing

(5)·By Nawal Z·Biology· Jun 2023
My experience at the university has been amazing and interesting. I get to learn so much about our human body and relate them in real life. The teachers have been really helpful with assignments abd exams. Loads of resources abd information provided to students and extra help for students struggling, so overall my experience at University of Northampton has been GREAT

History, Year 2

(5)·By Chloe M·History· Jul 2021
Freshers week was amazing! I met so many new people and made so many new friends, it also helped me settle into uni a lot better. Freshers week is definitely one of the best memories I have from uni and the happiest I'd been in a long time x The accomodation was beautiful! It was exactly what I wanted and more, very spacious and the storage space was incredible Library was brilliant always had what I needed and it's 24 hour services is great for my study schedule. Sports facilities are also great, although I don't use the on campus one for my sport I've been to watch games etc and it looks great. The course is so diverse and covers a wide range of time periods. The lectures are different for every course which I like because it makes every day different City life was great, the city isnt massive so it's not daunting etc. It's great because you are constantly bumping into people you know which makes it very welcoming.

Overall, an amazing experience. I've met a lot of people, on my course and people on other courses. Living in halls for the Year 1 was also an experience for me, which I thoroughly enjoyed.

Education / Teacher Training, Year 3

(5)·By Emily B·Education / Teacher Training· Jul 2021
Absolutely amazing. I met so many people and have so many friends from then to this day! The accommodation has both new and old and they are both organised in very social ways and they're all very clean and safe Amazing! They're new facilities where everything is brand new up to date and provides a very comfortable atmosphere for studying. They're 2 hours long which is perfect time and face to face and very practical. Can do learning first hand in a small class size instead of massive lectures in halls. City life in Northampton is small but there are plenty of bars and a few good clubs that everyone knows of and are all very close together and close to fast food at the end of your night.

Mental health support

(5)·By Nomagugu M·Nursing· Jun 2023
As an international student in the UK I first though it was going to be hard for me to adapt. At first it was hard being so far away from and I couldn't cope up with the homesickness. Thankfully, the strong support system has been very helpful to make me maintain balance between work, university and my social life.

English Studies, Year 2

(5)·By Shanice A·English Studies· Jul 2021
It was different this year for sure but a little better with getting people together. Freshers virtual festival was pretty good but the uni sent out Information that benefited everyone. It's great, spacious and lively. People respond well if any issues occur, it's in a great location and looks amazing. Library is awesome and the classrooms are good and spacious. The computer access is great and the student union is helpful and great. They are fun, interactive and interesting. Everyone engages well and enjoys the classes. City life is quite boring as it's a town. Not many clubs or restaurants but I guess the few there are are lovely with great atmosphere.

Nursing, Year 3

(4.8)·By Dee M·Nursing· Jul 2021
Freshers week was enjoyable. We had a nice induction to get to know a few of the people also taking the courses, and generally the campus was of a calm environment - not too busy, and everyone was friendly. Accommodation wise, I'd say the standard was very high. I did rent out my own apartment so I cannot speak much on the shared environment, but the facilities were great, clean and spacious. Overall I had no complaints, other than issues with the water pressure from time to time. The facilities were most certainly the best aspects of the university's campus. There were plenty of areas to socialise, study and take time off to enjoy the open air and scenery. The library is huge, and there are plenty of stores such as Subway (which I am a regular at) where you can order food. Their in-house restaurant also serves great quality food. The course lectures were super interactive. I hear some of my other peers who attend different universities constantly complain about the lack of one to one tutoring they receive, but mentors were always ready to answer my questions and support me. City life could be overwhelming at times due to being located in one of the most populated areas of Northampton, but being near to the town's city centre was great: rarely did one ever feel isolated, there was always something to do and I could easily get groceries and other necessities to bring back to my accommodation.
