Love the university. It is a very friendly community and there is a wide range of societies to join. Although an outdoors society where you go walking, white water rafting, zip lining, kayaking etc in wales would be perfect!

I enjoy studying Child nursing as it is very informative
The university of Chester, Queen’s Park business school is a brilliant university. I highly recommend going for it!!
Lecturers are lovely, respond to emails quickly and are very helpful
Overall the university is good. The amount of strikes from lectures is concerning and it does have a negative impact on students. The wifi could also be improved.

Good university, great staff, plenty on offer
Staff always ready to help, positive experience
This university is so nice most of the lecturers are lovely
Not the best Uni but the staff are very helpful when needed but there isn’t much facilities and all seems quite old/standard
good all round uni, the location and history of the town is a bonus
The University of Chester has truly helped me grow; intellectually and socially. My course has really pushed my comfort zones to enable me to become confident within my academic skills. Personally I wish there was a wider range of societies and events to advertise theses clubs so that more people can get involved.
Great nightlife in Chester with a local student bar. No problems with Wi-Fi
Campuses are clean and modern, lecturers and staff members are friendly and always ready to help
I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Uoc so far. All the members of staff are so willing to see you succeed and that is very reassuring.
university facilities are very basic. wifi is good, career service has very limited options compared to the number of students looking for jobs, very very few societies and little variation in clubs beyond the classic sport teams
Honestly love chester ! Staff are really helpful and personally my PAT is one of the most understanding and supportive people I have ever met. All feedback is helpful in assignments and knowing where to improve is shown. Consistent timetables which is helpful to those who prefer consistency.
Great university. Know lots of people around. Always events on.
I have found societies very clicks and unwelcoming. The campus is in need of renovation as it doesn't look very appealing.
Good university! Such a lovely place to study and live and enjoy the experience of the university
Lovely university, the staff and lecturers are wonderful and are always eager to help students. The student Union is very friendly as well.
I like the university of Chester. However, some of their facilities such as the library at exerton campus misses out some chairs for table. There are lots of different places to sit and learn. The staff is extremely helpful and lovely. I am coming from abroad and they are really kind, generous and thoughtful in what they do and what they don't do.
Lovely uni with excellent lecturers who always help when needed
Lessons are intersting and the staff are friendly and welcoming. Really enjoying my uni life so far.
I have enjoyed my first year at chester University. My course ,history, is really interesting and the course leaders are amazing. I study at Exton Park which has a great library and the SU where you can get some lunch.
Ok uni but terrible signal on campus, not much to do as it’s a small campus and the PATs usually don’t do what they are supposed to do
It’s a small university, which is good since you can learn a lot more in small classes. Also all of the staff is really nice and competent. They always try to help you out every way they can.
Friendly environment, good study facilities
The main campus has all the facilities you need despite it not being very big and is located right near the city centre
The university main campus has everything you need even if you’re not based there. It’s has everything we could use or need
Great university, recommended, the campus is huge, a lot of facilities, the best building for me is the sports hall, coz i love doing sports. And there's football field as well.
University of Chester is an excellent place to be if you're looking for a school that's intentional about your professional and academic growth
Everyone was so lovely here and I had a lot of support
The university has so much to offer. Staff are always willing to help and offer support. You never feel truly stuck or alone, and there is always going to be a group/society for you.
really welcoming staff and have made me feel very comfortable
A nice area, lots of opportunities within the university and would recommend
Good place to study. Great staff
Very good university and everyone’s very friendly but some lecturers could be clearer in their presentation and more approachable
Enjoying the uni experience just not the sport teams

I like the uni of Chester staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgable and it is in a good location
Nice atmosphere and lots of support available
Great overall, and easy to use facilities. Reasonably priced foods and good clubs.
Chester uni is a great location and has great support
I study sports coaching, the help I receive from my lecturers Paul Humphries and Jason Clare are fantastic, even in a personal level when I had suffered with a back injury and later with mental health issues they guided me through this tough time and really picked me back up again. Being a committee member of the football is brilliant, the team I work with is great. Being able to Captain Chester mens thirds is a great experience and Especially if you study in the area of coaching or teaching.
Good facilities and a wide range of clubs and societies to chose from.
Chester uni is great, there is literally anything and everything to do on campus. The student union bar is always a blast and the societies are very active. Coming Chester University will keep you happy and active for all the time you study and stay here.
Great university fue buildings are run down wifi needs improving
Good some aspects can be worked on
Great place to study, lots of support to have when you find yourself needing it.
Really good uni good facilities and a great welcoming place for everyone.
Main campus and business campus good but arts campus feels a bit left behind in terms of events and canteen options and could do with improvement
UOC was one of my first choices for unis and i’m so glad it was, every lecturer is wonderful and gives 110% towards each and every lecture, everyone you meet on campus (even the campus cat) is always friendly.
lovely campus everything is close together and easy to access
Been amazing studying here, my lecturers have been brill and the society night outs are amazing
Love the university. It is a very friendly community and there is a wide range of societies to join. Although an outdoors society where you go walking, white water rafting, zip lining, kayaking etc in wales would be perfect!
Clean please to learn and develop
Could be more social activities other than the social clubs.
University of Chester is amazing and I’m really enjoying my first year here. It offers vast amounts of care, facilities and social opportunities for students and is really great overall
Great range of facilities and open times which suit every students needs whether that’s a last night library session or a weekend kick about with mates. The University provides great opportunities to its students

High school styled university.

The Hammond school of theatre is excellent
Brilliant facilities and staff
Great teaching, not so great for social life
State of the art! But I just started so I can’t say frrrr
Mediocre. Could do with a little more effort put into the student union and a golf society.
This is a great university with a amazing teaching style at the business campus
Fun learning and easy to navigate
Really good lecturers and course content just let down by other areas of the uni
Great campus with plenty of space for independent study. Very large library and space for outdoor activities. Very nice student well being team.
