Huddersfield uni *UPDATED*

Advantages: Good facilities, wide range of courses
Disadvantages: Big so you can get lost, bad reputation

...I started Huddersfield University in September 2005 so i am now getting to know the uni quite well even though it is huge! The university is positioned on the ring road, adjacent to the town centre. If you were going there by train I'd say it's approximately a ten-minute walk from the station, or by bus about a 5-minute walk. If you want to drive to the University, parking can be a problem. There's is car parks in the town centre, such as the Queensgate multi-storey car park which is near to the Uni. But its 70p an hour so if your there every day, 5 days a week it does become expensive. There is parking facilities on the the 'Queensgate Campus' but these spaces are extremely limited and are not available to students unless they have a disability in which case, arrangements are made. The university runs hundreds of different...

Review of Huddersfield University

Huddersfield Uni!

Advantages: Relaxed, willing to take almost anyone
Disadvantages: shorter holidays than most unis

...Ive lived in huddersfield all my life, but i didnt plan on coming to the uni, originally i wanted to go away, as far away from home as possible!, but certain circumstances made it so that it was in my best interests to stay at home. Because the uni is so massive and there are so many aspects to it, i cant tell you about every single thing, but i can tell you about my own experience and i hope that its helpful! I study Behavioural Sciences BSc, Im currently in my second year, its a great course and it combines psychology with sociology. My experience of the staff is good experience. Theyre all very friendly and extremely helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. The university offers a wide range of degree subjects and qualifications, prospectuses can be recieved through the post, upon request if you visit www.hud.ac.uk I chose to live...

Pizza Hut (esp Huddersfield Branch)

Advantages: Not Many
Disadvantages: Expensive, Service can be poor, some branches are a mess

...Ive been a customer of Pizza Hut for several years, when I was younger it was an extra special treat if mum took me and my sister to the hut for dinner. I went on my 13th birthday, I went when I went to see Take That in Manchester, believe it or not, its where me and my partner went to celebrate our 1 year anniversary (why am I with him again?) And more recently, I went last night. Well never again! There are two branches in Huddersfield, one in the town centre (the road name escapes me) and one next to the McAlpine stadium, where Huddersfield Town lose all their matches. I visited the town centre branch with three friends, and between us the bill came to just over £41, we had a large pizza with two extra toppings (meat feast with chilli and pineapple), a medium pizza (cheese feast with cajun chicken and spicy pork), 4 pepsi...

Review of Pizza Hut, Huddersfield

A Universal experience

Advantages: Great rides, lots of fun
Disadvantages: Prices

...Yet another stop on my tour of Florida's theme parks with three of my friends was Universal Studios. Universal is linked to Islands of Adventure and we did both parks in one day due to limited time, although I'll review them separately. LOCATION: Universal Studios is in Orlando, Florida. As with most Orlando attractions it is fairly well signposted. You just need to get onto the I4, the main road through Orlando, and it is signposted off this. There is a ridiculous amount of parking available. Make sure you remember which character and which number you are parked in otherwise you'll be searching for that rental car for hours! Each section is named after a Universal character such as Spiderman, the Cat in the Hat and ET. PRICES: This is a theme park in Orlando so don't be expecting a cheap day out! You can buy lots...

Review of Universal Studios

University?

Advantages: location
Disadvantages: quality of teaching, University ranking, staff, culture

...I would not recommended this Uni, and would definitely think twice before spending or going into dept to get a degree from Westminster University. Getting the right degree from a good University these days is very important and Westminster University cannot provide it (again based on my experience). Below some general thoughts after attending business related degree from that University. I have graduated with business degree. Very low level of teaching. I have started similar degree outside the UK, where level of teaching in secondary school could be more intellectually challenging than attending majority of core modules throughout this degree. On top of that the attitude of tutors towards teaching, students is bad. Many of them (not all of them) are unenthusiastic, and with no experience (or qualities) of teaching in some...

This is a guide to restaurants in huddersfield

Advantages: range of restaurants, decent prices
Disadvantages: there are only so many to visit

...There are actually a large variety of foods available in Huddersfield yet is often hard to know where to go, in this review I will be giving you my opinion on the selection of restaurants I have recently dined in and hopefully giving you a helpful insight into the social side of Huddersfield town. Along Viaduct street, not far from the train station, is a selection of restaurant, all offering different foods from around the world. Here you will find Cibo and Gringos, both in possesion by the same owner. I have eaten at both and was most impressed with Cibos. This small restaurant offers italian food and houses a modern, hip and simplistic decor that makes you feel comfortable. The use of bare brick along with the warm red tones and blue lights give a relaxing atmosphere. The staff are extremely friendly and the prices are bearable...

Great Universal Is Littlewoods!!!!!

Advantages: price changes
Disadvantages: same clothes

...Despite my last order through the catalogues being a while back due to the appalling service provided by La Redoute I do still browse through them when the big heavy books lands on the doorstep. Last week that book was the Great Universal Spring Summer 08 edition allowing you until the 17th August 2008 to make your purchase. "Spread the cost with affordable payment options," screams the green circle of text on the lower left hand side of the page. Flicking through I am amazed at how expensive catalogue clothes have actually got compared to the same items in the high-street. Never the less I systematically fold over the corners of any page which shows an item I wish to purchase, but my bank balance refuses to allow, something I do with every catalogue, just in case someone else happens to flick through it and wish to buy me something...

Review of Great Universal

Worcester University

Advantages: Accomodation, Student Union, Sports, Clubs, Library, IT, History
Disadvantages: Expense

...I've been here getting on for around a week now and I must say that I have had an excellent time so far. Before accepting the offer to go Worcester I travelled to it to investigate it and to see if it was for me. After travelling around some of the other universitys that I got into I came to the conclusion that this one was more for me conpared to any of the others. Size ********* I've found that its small which makes it quaint in my eyes and from my opinion however I find a city that is huge can be a little too big and can appear scary and overwhelming at times. Worcesters size is perfect offering up Night Clubs, Food, Shops and culture. The University was originally opened as an emergency teaching college until only recently in the last few years it has been granted the ability to become a university. This means it has being...

Review of Worcester University

A decent university.

Advantages: Nice location, close to town, has almost everything, campus uni, good place in the rankings.Has improved rankings and quality/reputation in a lot of subjects,-esp. sciences.
Disadvantages: Still hasn't got rid of the 'polytechnic' image, guilford locals being a bit 'snobby'

...I didn't particularly enjoy my time there but looking objectively, I can honestly say that it is a decent university. COURSES: Everything is very organised, most of the degree courses are modular and it will be quite easy to follow the syllabus and get yourself ahead and organised if that is how you like to work. I studied Chemistry and over the last few years the facilities and the quality of the course had improved dramatically, it used to be one of the less well off departments, but now it is one of the best, although obviusly, still lagging behind Oxbridge and that of other traditional redbricks. The strongest departments at the uni are probably Music, Psychology, Biosciences, Engineering and Business Studies. Law is not far behind either. Exams usually take place before christmas (unlike other uni which have them after...
