The buildings are very old, and the campus isn't very colourful everywhere is concrete. The course I am doing is good.

The Uni club on campus is good and means you have a lot of fun first year. There are also a lot of activities organised for students such as Do Something Different Week and career opportunities.such as cafe club where potential employers come to talk to students. There are also many talks which are on. It is nice that on UEA campus, the important buildings are close together. On the other hand, the buildings are ugly and concrete (apart from the lake) and mental health provisions are terrible. It often feels like that support is to available. The gym is also expensive and often full, although the sports building is fairly new and has some good space for sports. The library is often too busy, but does have some nice study spaces if you can get past the concrete.

The campus it's self has beautiful surroundings with lots of nature walks. The buildings are boring. The facilities in the UEA are very good such as unisex toilets, free feminine hygiene products, and a variety of society's. my personal experience in the university is that it has been unorganised and inconsistent. The support given to me for this has been good .

Loved my course (media studies), some teachers were amazing and really cared about the students. However, strikes were handled really badly by the uni. Nightlife is poor, campus is nice but societies are badly run and sports societies are clicky and full of drama. Overall, I feel that I could have gotten a much better 'university life' experience somewhere else, but don't regret it because of how good the course was.

The campus at UEA is the best thing about it. There is a close community feel through the accessibility on campus and the size of it. The rural location is also particularly delightful in the summer. My course is fairly poorly taught, lecturers are largely uninspiring and tend to be all Male, white and middle aged. The career advice and services are good, offering a lot of help and guidance. I use the careers site to find internships and jobs regularly. My experience overall has been positive, my academic experience not so positive.

UEA has a wonderful array of opportunities, ranging from amenities to necessities. However, lecturers fail to strike an adequate balance between education and pathological indoctrination.

Nice campus, the lake is a beautiful place to hang out and walk around. Food and drinks on campus is expensive however. Overall good experience at uni

The accommodation is just awful. The kitchens are appalling and have very few facilities, yet they are a crazy price. Whilst there are facilities on the campus, there are not enough. For example, there is only one small, overpriced food shop and the laundrette services are appallingly unreliable. My course is very interesting but in reality is now different from how it's advertised beforehand- for example 2/3rd of my modules for next year are compulsory and I thought I would have more freedom to choose.

Campus is excellent, though a little outdated, easy access and lots of freedom. Not great with mental health issues, but supportive if required.

UEA is an interesting University. The exteriors of its buildings remind one of being in a prison, not that I’ve been inside one. But that shouldn’t mean it’s a bad University, it’s actually rather good. There are a lot of things that let it down considerably but it’s overall a lovely place to be

It was a bit rubbish to be quite honest, so I left. There is nothing to do there and the people are boring.

The campus as a whole is really nice. The lake is always a good place to go if you are ever lost or stuck to clear your head. The facilities are not great, the library and gym are definitely not big enough for the amount of people that use them. The students union are very poor, they do not take individuals concerns seriously and do there own thing, then act like they are making an impact to help students.

Excellent facilities of what I have experienced. As a higher education student via an attached educational college, not overly impressed by the lack of openness and communication. Not very confident of consistency in educational standards as organisational staff unaware of what an educational proctor is... Also have not been made aware of available seminars, have also met with the claim there aren’t any... at a university?

The campus is beautiful and modern with lots of bunny rabbits running around! Good location as it has a local tesco, co-op and aldi = student necessities! I am on a nursing course and I must be honest, it is rather disorganised and I cant wait to hurry up and graduate. The uni takes its sports rather seriously so if you're into all that, good for you. Cheap student nights at the club campus (drinks), food everywhere on campus seems to be rather expensive and the accommodation is ridiculously over priced. Come for an open day and make your own mind up.
