Coventry University

Ive been really let down by the uni careers department this year. Completely inadequate and uncaring. Student support is minimal in areas such as counciling. Literally no nightlife whatsoever just a few pretty awful clubs and nowhere with regular live music or venues for people into other genres of music than dance. Overall pretty bad experience.

Good if you want to do well

With the 9 grand I spend a year on my course, I get tonnes of out-of-lecture support, free equipment I need for the course(tablet, raspberry pi, chromebook). My building itself is an amazing, filled with access to computers, an awesome careers advice team and a starbucks. The library has the basement area which in my expirience is always open, where students can go to relax and study with access to the uni's great book and software libraries. If you look hard enough in Coventry you can find accomodation thats cheap and will suit you (providing you're not in halls cause their prices are ridiculous).

Cons?
There are two half decent clubs in Coventry: Kasbah and JJs, Kasbah is constantly being moaned about online due its over crowding and rude staff. The staff i've met are lovely but the main room is like a sardine can. Our student union "The phoenix" is part of a chain of scream pubs and offers overpriced everything along with mediocre food, rosie malones, quids in and the oak are a much better alternative if you want tosave some money- and theyre all next door!

Excellent Univeristy.

The facilities are top quality and some of the best in the country. There is a real dedication to getting graduates employed once their degree is completed and so there is a focus on employability skills the entire duration of your course. Top lecturers, excellent opportunities.

Cons?
It's a shame this university is shadowed by nearby Warwick even though it is clearly better as shown by league tables and student employment. Also, as a city, coventry is a bit irrelevant so location isn't great.

Campus is great, it's a shame they didn't do anything with it. Societies are limited, hardly anything is even there on the list, so it's sh*t. Student Union is sh*t, we don't even have a SU Bar, like proper one anyways. Careers services is meh. You get emails about things 1 hour before its about to happen and it's irritating because sometimes its interesting. Internet is great though!

About to finish my MSc at Coventry and it has been a mixed bag. If you're coming to this university to party you're going to have a bad times. Two clubs, Kasbah is the only good one. Not alot of great student pubs. The nightlife in the city really can't compete with anywhere. It is fairly safe though which is a bonus. The university itself is new, nice looking. The SU building is good but lacks a decent bar. It's open like once a week and that's it. The SU staff are pretty terrible. Load of unorganised posers who do it for the money. No student movement at all. The course I do in theory is good. Lots of good down to earth lecturers. Where the uni fails with its postgrad students is the admissions. I'd say 70% of the people who are in my class should simply not be there. The university lets in alot of international students because of the massive fees they pay. This totally devalues the course because the course has to be dumbed down so that these people will pass.

Curently studying Business Management (1st year), and already loving it. The teaching quality is amazing, great environment in lectures and seminars, so they totally deserve Modern University OF The Year 2015!

Coventry is definitely one of the best university experiences out there. I've visited many on nights out but always come back to Coventry by the end just because the atmosphere is so much better. The student union is very helpful and adaptable for whatever you need.

Everything is walking distance which is great. It is so easy to make so many friends. I have overall enjoyed my year spent in Coventry University so far. However, the town centre is not very big.

Fantastic university, really good lectures and students to be with. Has everything you need. Coventry city itself is small so don't expect much from that but if you come here to study then you won't be disappointed. Fun things to do too. :)

experience wise, nothing compares to be a coventry university student.

i love coventry, it just has a really good vibe about it!, unfortunatly i feel the students union is lacking without its own specified bar and club

Uni is okay but felt that my course Tutors was not completely sure of what they were teaching us could have had more training on the course

A very good university with excellent lecturers. Provided with the good facilities along with great services on and off the campus. Easy to fit in campus and the city itself.

I have been there for less than a year, but the amount of kindness and nice people I have met makes up for all the new knowledge I have had to consume. If I had a choice to take my degree now, or continue on for 2-3 more years, I would stay, as a degree is worth nothing if you haven't had any fun. Because in the end, only 1 thing matters - to enjoy life to the fullest.

needs to be more more events to and things to do in the area, some courses need better value for money, e.g. im paying £9,000 a year to go in once a week for a 2 hour lecture, and its just housekeeping -_- staff need to offer more individual support, teach those that want to be taught e.g. sit down and help with specific skills,and take into consideration the mentality of others, e.g. if students need guidance due to a lack of confidence or unsurity then they need to be helped

The worst university in the planet

Awful. Careless. Just don't go. Waste of time and money!!!

as a student at Morton morrell college I hate it with a passion it is the most horrendous campus with no night life or social events the whole thing has no money so I am stuck with no hot water and my horse whom I brought with me has to live in a leaky stable with no turnout and very limited use of poorly maintained arenas with staff being exceedingly rude and obnoxious would not recommend !

Coventry University is a vibrant hub of life which, in all honesty, is the only thing that seems to keep Coventry alive. This city is run entirely by students which provides a real sense of community to the university experience. On the other hand, the uni does not have that many great clubs and societies and the hub - where the SU is - is just a cafeteria and a bunch of computers. At other uni's there are bars and clubs and fun events held at their SU, which is why CUSU is rather lacking.

University buildings and student union is all in one area so makes it easy to get anywhere. Plus it's in the middle of the city so the centre is really close (5 minute walk). Plenty of facilities for students and the library has tonnes of options for help regardless of your course. Student union and societies are always open and the variety makes it good since anyone can find something they like or would want to try.

Good uni, made loads of friends first year, cannot wait to go back!

Coventry university is rough around the edges but the facilities and campus are exceptional ( for computing/engineering), facilities are improving every year, and I'm not talking petty changes.. Admittedly the place needs more clubs/bars but you really can make the most of it !!!

Plenty of clubs and societies, I've always found that there are plenty that I want to join. The Hub is great and there are plenty of useful facilities in this university, especially in the Lancaster Library which is brilliant. I've never had to use the Careers Service.

Best place ever

Love the uni

the uni itself is great and it has a lot to offer bt there isnt really a student union which makes things really shit

Su pretty much non existent, no student bar, but campus is lovely

Not got a very United student feel to the university and the city isn't great, but got some great facilities.

Socials are sick

Coventry University is amazing, excellent staff and lots of opportunities to take part in societies and events. The locations are quite spaced out are can be difficult to find at first however. The library is very large and the Hub is always full of life.

Great uni campus and friendly people and staff, never feel lonely as there is always a great vibe and staff are awesome

Wifi is accessable most places on campus, all of the services offered are exemplary

It is very clean and tidy

Some of the buildings are pretty awesome , others look terrible. The unions are well organised but not very active after some time

Internet is slow , student union don't really do much and a lot of buildings are out dated

Great place, The Hub is brilliant and everyone is so friendly!

Everything is amazing! Everything I need is here and a lot of opportunities!

Absolutely loving my experience at Cov uni. Saw many uni's during the interview process and this Coventry was by far the best!!

This university suitable for anyone. There is always someone who can help you, you can not be bored because of the huge amount of programs and societies and the employment rate after graduation is really high.

Before u apply any major, make sure u have done clearly research! And it is exactly what you want

campus has lots to do and always something going on and people on hand to help you!

So glad I choose Coventry such a lovely campus and city!

Quite modern, love The Hub, brand new library, also has a trading floor which is cool.

Everything's good

good

very modern, loads of support, and some great nightclubs

Wonderful university everything a student can dream of .

Coventry University has had a incredible ascension lately and it definitely makes huge steps towards the top of the rankings. However there are still lots of things to do if we talk about the student union and staff's e-mail response rating

It is a great University with a diverse range of courses that have a lot to offer. Also, the field trips are an amazing plus!!

Amazing university. You definitely want to come and spend 3 years here.

Great university. Currently improving dramatically.

Really impressed with facilities and teaching methods, AddVantage modules have been very beneficial to my CV.

Not many societies at all needs to be more of a variety

Great facilities, awesome su, lots of opportunities to go abroad with funding

I am doing ma interior design and it could be better organised

best univetsity ever

Uni is fine, union isnt as good as what I've heard about else where, Coventry itself is a s**te tip aha especially if you're into music, don't bother, there's nothing going on in Coventry.

So happy that I put Cov as my first choice!

The Cov University deserve s to have a hunger ranking
