Good experience overall; however, ID card replacement charges are way too high, i.e., GBP 10 for a student, and the first-time replacement should be free, and the process of getting it replaced is also too cumbersome. Attendance-capturing instruments do not work most of the time, due to which a student has to keep on sending numerous emails just to regularize the attendance, with proofs and professor approvals, and it still takes multiple attempts. This is an unnecessary time-wasting activity where the students are losing too much time. read more

What the Accommodation has to offer is amazing. The social events they provide are amazing, even smaller ones at the front desk that the reception team offer. i.e. advent calendars for christmas, valentines presents from spin a wheel and even iftar and diwali events read more

My experience at Aston has been very positive, there are a range of sports clubs and societies you can join based on your interests! Academic staff are very supportive and approachable regarding any personal or professional queries, made me feel well prepared to undertake my exams and submissions. Professors are helpful in helping seek part time roles- (e.g tutoring) and guiding me to achieve personal goals and enhance my CV. Students Union organise events regularly for students, very inclusive of different cultures and festivals which are celebrated within the university and nurtures talent within our community. read more

Not enough social spaces given the amount of students. As a result, those students end up going to the study spaces to talk, which makes those difficult to work in. Overall, way too few spaces for studying or to hangout which makes it difficult to stay on campus during busy hours. read more
