University of Hull Speciality : Performing Arts
programme: BA (hons) Music

If I am completely honest I hadn’t even heard of Hull until I applied and coming from a big city, I wasn’t really looking forward to going to somewhere that I assumed had a lot less going on. However I was proved very wrong, Hull had a really great community with so much going on. It’s super cheap which is really handy as a student, and everything is so close together it’s so convenient and cheap to go anywhere. The nightlife was surprisingly good and if you want more it’s so close to bigger cities that going for a quick night in Leeds or Manchester or London isn’t even that big a deal. I also took part in a lot of union activities, joining committees, helping out with events, going to socials, etc. and they were all so much fun! It just feels like something i wouldn’t have taken the leap to do in a university in a bigger city. Also in terms of jobs, I did loads of paying part time university jobs and there are also so many jobs outside of the university in just the surrounding areas so you wouldn’t have to travel far.

Anyway in summary, I’m really glad I went to Hull and i don’t think i would have had as good a time anywhere else. It’s a really great University and place overall.
