I am a First-Year student studying at Plymouth University. What I personally found here is it is a small community for you to get to know everyone. Teachers are supportive and fast responding when you have any questions. Due to the size of the course, you can easily have one to one discussions in or out of your sessions.
What I found most useful is all course contents are informed early and uploaded on DLE for students to get prepared, additional lectures sessions are all recorded for you to rewatch.
However, the workloads are a massive jump from A-level to University. And Independent and self-learn are highly required and I have a chance to develop now.
