Plymouth university was built with convenience in mind, it is right next door to the city centre and there are countless student housing and accommodation around. As I am in the creative building, Roland Levinsky, it is really modern and well-equipped with plenty of opportunity to work with new materials like; letterpress, screen-printing, pottery, photography studios and Mac/PC suites. There are also cafes throughout the building and regularly the university organises local restaurants to set up food stalls on campus, which is a really nice chance to try the new foods. As a creative student, they also organise the chance for us to sell our artwork with pop-ups dotted around the university. Saying all this, the best part for me are the lecturers, they’re supportive and open-minded with your ideas and just want you to find your creative voice.

Plymouth University is an amazing place to learn, make friends and socialise. The lectures as well as other members of staff were really helpful and were always there to help me even when emailing them from home. The facilities at Plymouth Uni are top of the range and I would recommend it to anyone.

The location of the University of Plymouth makes it the perfect combination of campus and city-based. This means you can be in the city centre in minutes but also not have to travel far for lectures. There is a plethora of quality student accommodation available and social-based clubs and activities. Depending on what you study, there may be differences in the opinion of teaching. I found the psychology course uninspiring and unsupportive. Compared to other courses, there was little group work and I felt very disconnected from the course and the lecturers. This made reaching out for help extremely off-putting. Ultimately, I would highly recommend this university however, strongly suggest research into the modules and coursework that is mandatory.
