University of Winchester

Overall its fine.. the best part about the university is the teaching faculty and the worst is the inappropriate management

The university of Winchester has a great atmosphere, the uni also has great facilities with a wide range. Although I don’t have much envolvement the student union always has something on and promotes a good social life around campus. However the downside to the university is the organisation. I find the course I am on is very unorganised and I am always the one to be chasing the teachers due to the unclear requirements.

Decent uni, not the best nightlife experience but the teaching quality and standards is higher as there aren’t many students and so you get more 1-2-1 time with your tutors and a lot more help with work than you would at a larger university.

The university campus is small making it easily accessible for students however the size is also a downfall. There are several places to get food on campus, although the only franchise outlet onsite is quite expensive resulting in students seeking cheaper alternatives on campus where price reflects the quality of food. Two shops at the university (Main campus and West downs) both with limited capacity for stock. Only two cashpoints onsite of the whole university which are occasionally out of order meaning students have to walk into town to draw cash out for free. Good sized library with 3 floors. A vast selection of study spaces available to students located all around the university, from quiet study areas and rooms available for hiring to dicussion and more social study areas. The terrace bar is open week days however more on the pricey side considering it is a student bar. The student union is very spacious with four floors however, only two are open during SU events which limits capacity. Overall a good campus for a small university with the town centre a 15 minute walk away.

The university has a great vibe on campus and all the lecturers are great fun and always happy to help.
