Overall, my experience at Aston has been positive so far. The University adapted well to the challenges of Covid-19 in ways that many others did not, providing clear structure and messaging regarding moving courses online during lockdowns, and now onto a “blended” approach. The lecturers are very knowledgeable in their subject areas, and several of my Economics lecturers have published textbooks or highly-regarded research pieces, which have also proved useful during the course. Student life is great, with a couple of pubs on campus and an overall nice environment with plenty of green space, football pitches and a new Students Union on site. The City Centre is also just minutes away, so everything you need is at your door.
