I love the clubs especially cheerleading of which I am a part of. Also the career and placement team is also instrumental and I love that we can always go to them to talk and engage them about the right choices to make. read more

Aston University, especially for my course, Business and Management, is one of the best places in the Midlands to study this subject. This is because of the service available to you, such as Aston Futures and the learning development centre, as well as the teaching experience, as teachers have come from previous experiences related to the module itself read more

During my time at university, I became the president of the Nepali Society (Nepsoc) with the goal of creating a stronger and more inclusive community for Nepalese students. At first, it was challenging to balance my leadership responsibilities with my law studies, and I often doubted whether I could manage it all. But as I began organising cultural events, supporting new students, and helping those who faced language barriers, I grew more confident in my abilities. By the end of the year, the society had become more active and united than ever, and I had developed leadership and communication skills that deeply shaped my university journey. read more

My university journey has been a multifaceted experience, marked by both challenges and triumphs. Academically, the curriculum has been rigorous, demanding a commitment to consistent study and critical thinking. The quality of instruction varies, with some lecturers excelling in their ability to engage and inspire, while others leave much to be desired. Beyond the classroom, the university environment fosters a vibrant social life. The opportunity to connect with diverse individuals from various backgrounds has been enriching. Collaborative projects and group study sessions have strengthened my teamwork skills and broadened my perspectives. However, the university experience is not without its drawbacks. The cost of living and tuition fees can be a significant financial burden. Additionally, the bureaucratic processes and administrative inefficiencies can be frustrating at times. Overall, my time at university has been a period of personal and intellectual growth. read more

The campus and the ambience are beautiful and they have got many study spaces to let us focus on studying. The "silent room" for the students undertaking PG gives a different level of motivation! read more

So far Campus has had good facilities and lots of space. One issue is the chairs are sometimes not clean and lifts can be too full at times. The Students Union provide a wide range of excellent opportunities and societies to join. Careers Services are easy to contact. The internet is usually good and reliable but WiFi was extremely difficult to connect to initially and can sometimes be unreliable in some lecture theatres. Perhaps a tutorial for how to connect for new students could be useful? read more

As a current student at Aston University, I’ve really enjoyed the campus experience. Everything is in one place, so it’s easy to get around and meet people. The library is a great study space — open late with different zones for quiet or group work. The labs and facilities are modern, especially the specialist ones like the VR suite and the health clinics, which make studying feel more practical. The sports centre is well-equipped, and the swimming pool is a nice bonus. The campus can feel a bit compact, but being right in the centre of Birmingham makes up for it, with plenty to do just outside. read more
