My university experiences thus far have been amazing. I have learned and experienced so many new things in such a short period of time, and it has gone by so fast. I am still discovering all the opportunities that university offers me. I have made many new friends from many different backgrounds. There are Vietnamese and Singaporean students on my floor in residence and that has allowed me an insight into their cultures. My classes are great and I enjoy every one of them, especially psychology. The depth and detail of what we are leaning is far beyond my high school experience. Learning a new language is challenging but it is very rewarding. The course load is intense, so time management is key. As for extracurricular activities, I am part of our house Glee team. It is an annual charity completion, within all the residences on campus. I am also in our house charity committee.

Great university! Extremely helpful and knowledgable lecturers and tutors. Booming, energetic student atmosphere within walking distance of Coventry city centre. Absolutely lovely place to study!

Generally it is a good university in every aspect. Although, this academic year (2017-2018), they messed up with most of the timetabling schedules together with marking processes. They need to hire more stuff and have a thorough orginization of whole faculty ( for Health and Life Sciences - at least ). Also, even the library is in a very good condition and modern, it is definitely not enough for the whole university.

3 stars because athough we do have amazing facilities such as the New science building, there are many things that I have come across throughout my three years in uni tht could require further improvement. The lecturers are good and bad. Some lecturers teach the required content and are not very helpful whilst some Are much more engaging and you could say, more passionate. The grading of assessments are totally dependable on who is marking as I averaged received coursework that have a sense of being unfairly marked especially when there is little feedback to justify the grade. third year has really opened my eyes to these issues.

Coventry University has a wide range of facilities, I love that the campus is spread out and not away from the city - it makes it so easy to get around. Furthermore, its great when finding accommodation as you can live all over the city but still get to uni quickly and easily. The library is great and has lots of computers, seating and is a good alternative to studying at home. My course offered great support and teaching. The uni supports you and equips you for life beyond uni. We stand out with our addvantage modules too – picking up extra skills! Despite some thinking the city is not the most amazing place, you grow a fondness to it when living and studying here!

The university life in my 3 years has been excellent, the university has students from all across the globe and it is a wonderful opportunity to connect with people from all around the world! Also the teaching is quite competitive so I felt that this challenge made me sharper each day in the university.

Coventry university is a good university located in a prime location in England, the teaching is thorough and with the ‘add+vantage’ scheme; in which you pick an additional course along with your main degree. Additionally as a engineering student having a dedicated building for engineering is very helpful. Overall it is a good university with a good ranking, based within earshot of Birmingham and close enough to London.

The university is very modern with a lot of facilities. The teachers are involved and well trained. The library is modern equipped and it's opened 24h/7days .

The library is great, open 24 hours, with lots of comfortable study spaces and laptops to borrow. The resources are second to none. Some of the older buildings are less nice - some classrooms can be cramped - but newer buildings like the health sciences building are beautiful!

Coventry University has a wide range of courses available to pursue and an excellent set of fully qualified staff that are always on hand to help their students but what stands out to me the most is the environment and atmosphere of the uni and surroundings that makes any newbie feel so welcome and part of a community in no time.

Modern university, nah we still on those slow computers. Also unfair trials: When I proved to the judges with evidence that I was innocent (receipt), they said I was innocent but because of the first accusation of theft they did not allow me to work in the University. This process took over half a year (stressful). One sentence that meant I should still be working and when I questioned it they used lawyers against my contract. They said the one sentence was split into "two", so I wasn't allowed. So I wasted additional 6 months unpaid training there too for a job I did not yet start.

For me Coventry has been a great university. The university is one of the only ones in the UK that offers a Disaster Mangement degree. I have completed my first year and have many expierences from the university. The lecture content is great and informing. The lecturers too know their stuff and are really helpful. The facilities are excellent especially in engineering which are located in a brand new building. Halls for me was also a great experience and I had no issues. The reason why I would not give my university 5 stars is: there was delay in coursework feedback and the course has very few teaching hours.

Coventry university is a good uni in a very poor area of england. Lacks funding for basic infrastructure. The course gives you information but does not help prepare for the competitive job market

Modern University with excellent facilities. Mandartory advantage courses available are really helpful as it gives students an opportunity gain experience into a profession of their choice. This has been helpful along side careers guidance to decide which career suited to your degree would be best by seeing as a student whether you would like to peruse the career. My course has been well taught and lecturers are very helpful and passionate about teaching.

I am pleased with my experience at coventry university. Despite the campus and city not being the most exciting, I have really grown fond of the uni and place. My course in particular felt like a family. It has great workshop facilities and technicians, lecturers and help available. It also has a great library.

Excellent lectures and the university do help the students to achieve the grade. Not only the grade they do help with personal and mental issues that the students go through

The facilities in the London campus are sxtraordinary complete, the course are all well prepared. I like how the staff treated us, we are like an adults that learned something, unlike any other uni’s that treat their student like a child. The services are good, everything is fast

Amazing staff that are very friendly and there are many career opportunities and chances for development. Availability of trips give students the opportunity to experience international skills. More financial support could however be provided for students who are less able to look after themselves. Campus is relatively close and most things are within walking distance. My course was very enjoyable and the things learnt in lecture where useful for career progression. I also feel that an involuntary work experience module would have been useful for students who struggle to find placement opportunities. The sign in system introduced was also useful in motivating students into going for lectures and taking responsibility for their learning. At some lectures can be too loud and it can be difficult to hear or learn so perhaps more needs to be done to control the noise levels during classes.

Really good engineering facilities. The majority of lecturers are good. I like that it is within the city so there is a lot to do. The library also has good facilities.
