Most helpful review

I joined the lacrosse society this year with my flatmate from Tudor. This society made me feel welcome and I have met many lovely people that are my friends now. Never felt alone at this university and I am enjoying it a lot, my master. I feel supported by my tutor and so fare has been an amazing experience.

I have had a great experience at the university. The facilities on campus are great (who doesn't love grabbing a quick Starbucks before walking to a lecture at 8.30am!) and the staff and members are all very nice and welcoming!

I haven't joined any clubs or societies. The WiFi isn't always great and flickers on and off at times. However other facilities on campus are brilliant.

Amazing experience overall! However booking of sports facilities should be better organise, often double-booking has happened and it's frustrating.

Chester is a really lovely University with both a homely and City feel. It is the right balance between the countryside & city life. This thing that appealed most to me is the amazing careers facility and how they constantly support you with enhancing your CV.

I would not change universities for anything, Chester is currently changing and developing to better it's students and I don't think you could ask for much more.

A fantastic university with great support from everyone and a small enough feel where you truly are a person not a number. The city of Chester is amazing too and really makes coming to university here a privilege.
