	A Nerve Not Needed. Review of Greenwich University by Loistarr Advantages: Great teaching and facilities, Lovely university in general! Disadvantages: Is not as elite as many other universities - but don't be put off! I started at Greenwich university last September, entering with quite a worried outlook. I live local to the university, and everyone I spoke to looked down on my choice, thinking I should pick somewhere that was much more recognised and required higher g ...

	A truly great University Review of Lancaster University by CredDeMas Advantages: High standard of teaching, Top 10 University, Fantastic campus, Good diversity of subjects. Disadvantages: College choice is not guaranteed I will graduate from Lancaster University in July, So I have decided to give this in-depth review for future 'potential' students. I know how hard it is to choose a University 3 years ago I was doing the same therefore I have separated this review into se ...

	great for postgraduate Review of de Montfort University Leicester by maxyman Advantages: teaching quality, links with industry, unformal environment Disadvantages: Leichester is not London Postgraduate degrees are great. Some of the lecturers are known at world level and all of them hold a good PhD. Most of their research is rated at international level, in subjects like english literature this university is second just to Oxford and last b ...

	The Open University is the bees knees Review of Open University Milton Keynes by areajohn Advantages: You are helped all along the way Disadvantages: Probably cost now but this is course dependent To start studying at the Open University you may need to have already attained certain qualifications dependent on the course that you choose. In the Humanities, the subjects I chose, you can start by taking a foundation course which teaches several disci ...

	Staff is awful Review of Newcastle University by schmulakinsbears Advantages: PG 1 year program Disadvantages: lack of personal attention, lack of funds, not quality education The uni itself is fine, but departments vary greatly. I'm part of the ECLS doing a PG in Communication and it is shit. The teachers are overworked, understaffed, underpaid, and budget cuts are all over the place. Classes are taught by PhD students, which ... Read review Ciao members have rated this review on average somewhat helpful Ciao members have made 2 comments about this review View comments I think this would be better placed as a review of your particular course, rather than the university as a whole, since you admit variation between departments and don't address issues such as range of subjects, entrance offers, student's union, accommodation, etc. Also I'm not even clear what you're studying? PG is Post-Graduate I assume, but is this a PG Diploma or a Master's degree or what? And what's the ECLS? by a-true-ben Your passion comes through but is this review really that useful to someone thinking about going to Newcastle uni? It could do with a little more background and balanced opinion, rather than just a rant.

	Lampeter rebranded - Trinity St David - but is it any better? Review of Wales University Lampeter by SherlocksGhost Advantages: Beautiful place. Can walk everywhere in town/campus. Child friendly. Quite cheap. Good societies. Disadvantages: Isolated and wet. Very small. Poor costly transport. Limited entertainment. Bad management. I studied for my degree at Lampeter and I also worked at the University for a time, so perhaps can give quite a balanced opinion of what is on offer. So where is it and what is it like? Lampeter is in Mid West Wales, close to beaches, scenic walks, ...

	University of HUll Review of Hull University by eager12 Advantages: campus, staff, courses, societies/ clubs, library Disadvantages: distance from the centre of town I chose Hull University as on an open day the staff and students were so welcoming and the campus and accommodation were very impressive. Although I did not want to look at Hull because of its bad reputation as a city, after the first open day i was hooke ... Read review Ciao members have rated this review on average very helpful Ciao members have made 2 comments about this review View comments I'm surprised to see a university review that makes hardly any mention of lectures, seminars, library provision, or anything academic. Granted you can only speak for your subject (geography, it seems), while the information that you do include is likely to be of interest to any potential Hull student, but surely it's worth mentioning your experience of Hull as a student. by a-true-ben Great review-my son had a friend at Hull and I know of some other students who studied here. by AnneLorraine1 read all comments There are 17 other reviews on this product: View other reviews Current student at the university of Hull by janeyem Not a bad Uni! by rachvt Creative Music Tech at Scarborough Campus by lilrowan read all reviews		very helpful 17.06.2012 18:31

	Absolutely the worst experience of my entire life - DO NOT GO!!! Review of Sunderland University by MonkeyLover1995 Advantages: None Disadvantages: Everything This University ruined my life, don't let it ruin yours. The lecturers are dim, late, lazy. The administration is infuriatingly bad, nobody takes responsibility for anything. I worked hard, through my heart and soul into my degree and all I got back was o ... Read review Ciao members have rated this review on average not helpful Ciao members have made 3 comments about this review View comments Sorry to hear about your experiences, but this rant is rather one-sided. There must be some good features, like what led you to go there in the first place? And it would be more useful if you gave details of, e.g., your course, since comments on the lecturers are probably not true of all. by a-true-ben I'd have to agree with the other person.

	Poor - Do not spend your hard earned thousands of pound here. Review of Bradford University by BUTTERCUP54 Advantages: You do not need high grades to get a place, the university is small so you will not be overwhelmed Disadvantages: Poor outdated attitude of staff, poor PG standards. Not a major player in the world of academia ! I was briefly a postgraduate student at this institution - I would NOT recommend it to ANYONE! My experience of this university has not been positive at all. Whilst it's facilities (e.g. physical environment, accessibility, location, size etc) are adequat ...

	A University practicing racism continues to slip in the rankings! Review of Bradford University by VforVendetta Advantages: There is a Costa and Nero in the city-centre. Disadvantages: If you are an ethnic minority interview candidate you won't stand a chance. Whilst it boasts a large Asian student population do NOT be fooled. I believe this University is a RACIST employer and guilty of practicing RACISM when it comes to screening and interviewing applicants for jobs. I know this because I applied using my own ...
