University of Hull Reviews

Amazing facilities and accommodation, great lecturers in my chosen subject, and lush campus. Lots of issues within the students union at the moment, societies seem very cliquey and not inclusive.

One brilliant lecturer (no longer teaching), other average at best, one inadequate. Incompetent admin staff.

campus amazing. city amazing, midwifery dept is dreadful.

I loved my course but the SU left a lot to be desired. Events like the societies fair were extremely badly run, and the end of year ball was cancelled last minute due to their incompetency.

It's a great uni, great campus and lovely staff. Modules are a bit organised (or atleast chemical engineering) and crucial dissertation information was released very late. The university should take a hard look at the communication between hubs and lecturers as there seems to be lots of confusion. They also really need more lecturers and to expand the department as lecturers seem overwhelmed.

I’m from Hull so may be biased but I absolutely love the uni. Such a community and friendly feel, plus my course is fab! Feel like it gets overlooked by many, couldn’t reccommend it enough!

Fun campus, lots of things to take part in. Definitely felt apart of a team when at uni

Its a good uni which has lots to do

Too much groupthink and discrimination against wrong opinions

The university of hull has allowed me to come out of my shell massively not only in my course but also making friends. I owe it a lot for everything I have done here and everyone I have met.

An excellent university with supportive staff and fantastic facilities for all courses.

A very enjoyable experience so far

Fabulous university, campus is stunning and the people are so friendly. Will miss it terribly when I leave!

Good uni, lack of mandatory student support. Can literally go through uni without talking to a member of staff which isn't good. An average experience to be honest.

Truly great university. The student Union is the best.

Close knit uni with everything on campus including a nightclub, Starbucks, food places, and more. Sports socials every Wednesday that end in the uni’s night club

I wouldn't change anything about it! Amazing university

Most unorganised and joke of a university avoid it at all costs.

This university has truly given me the opportunity to develop into a confident, sociable person who knows what they want to pursue as a career and exactly how to get there.

Great student oriented university. However, if on a budget, avoid on campus accomodation. You can find way cheaper places that are within a 5 min walk radius.

Cosy, friendly campus that makes you feel right at home

Bad university. The tutors are terrible (on my course anyway) and I would not recommend. Worst 3 years of my life, apart from finding great friends.

Great environment with diverse people. It tries to provide the best experience for the students and I can say that it is working !

Bad stuff happened this year but the University's reassurance of safety and respect for students family couldn't of been handled better. The encouragement of getting students to seek help proves they care about your wellbeing as well as your education.

The business school is ace, most lecturers are helpful, a few try to sell you certain companies. provision of coeliac friendly gluten free food is poor. The uni nightclub is SO expensive

Good people, good staff. Shocking admin and management

Wifi could be better, constantly going off especially in uni houses along cranbrook.

It’s been okay, but the city of hull is not very interesting

Fantastic uni, lovely people, couldnr recomend it enough for business

Works for me, decent campus, good night out, great views from the library.

Overall, I’m having a great time at The University of Hull, and think it deserves more credit than it gets.

I love this university very much, I have made some of the best friends I have ever met. The library is amazing. The lecturers are boring but helpful if you go to them. Accommodation is over priced, as well as the student bar (SANC) and the student club (asylum). But both lovely places.

Very good university if a little unorganised.

University of Hull has a gorgeous campus with excellent facilities. The library is a lovely place to be which encourages students to work, the sports facilities have significantly improved over the years making them top quality facilities. I am proud to be a student at Hull.

Good for hull! union is overly priced even tesco local is cheaper for the same brands

Loved every moment! Social life is great, nights out are cheap with plenty of variety for all tastes. The lecturers I’ve had have been great, and the facilities in the library are first class.

Uni of Hull has a beautiful campus, amazing facilities in particular for drama which I study, and has one of the most accepting and friendly atmospheres I've seen at unis all over the country. I love it here. The students Union is packed with events and venues which each have their own perks, such as the on campus club where on Wednesdays they have a special guest performer. The accommodation is picturesque and the reception desks are always friendly with 24hr service. The WiFi could be better however it hasn't actually failed me yet - it can just be a bit slow to connect at times. The careers service is lifelong once you become a member at the uni which I think makes this uni stand out as unique, looking after it's students long after they leave. Finally the vast array of society's and clubs is almost overwhelming - something for everyone and anyone here.

Fantastic uni, I’ve throughly enjoyed my time here

Although, like many people, Hull was not my first choice uni, it was my insurance choice, i genuinely couldnt be happier with where i am. The staff are friendly and helpful and know exactly what theyre teaching, and the welfare and support teams are second to none. I am so amazingly thankful for this university and will never find a family like my HUSC family, theyre my best friends, and they have the most amazing people!

Very good university, good facilities and lecturers

I have really enjoyed my 3 years at university and would recommend it and the Uni of Hull to anyone.

So happy to be a student at the University of Hull! I am in my third year and I really feel that I made most of my experience there! I have had all the support needed, in terms of help of university staff, campus facilities, library resources.

I was really worried about coming to uni especially as a have an SpLD. however the university have been great with supporting me. I have made many friends both on my course, in my flat and on nights out etc. hull is very social and welcoming and there's lots to do outside of campus so there's no excuse for being bored. my course is great and the lecturers are supportive and dont put you under too much stress or pressure.

Average. Wi-Fi is slow to non existent. Union is overpriced and choice is limited. Whoever though replacing the coffee bar with an ice cream bar (when we're at uni in mainly winter) needs to sort themselves out. Lecturers cba most of the time and help the people who exclusively sit on the front row and no-one else. Activities are alright but unless you know about them in the first week you won't know until the next year as they're not advertised in high traffic areas. One good point though. Pubs are cheap and Wednesday night's at the union nightclub aren't bad at all (except you spend way too much money in the overpriced students nightclub). All in all hull is great if you want a bang average lifestyle and sh*t lecturers which you pay £9k a year for the privilege of. Not. Worth. It.

Sometimes the Wi-Fi can cut out at the accommodation however the Wi-Fi at the uni is good

The library is brilliant! However, studying primary education and sharing a building with other courses is not helpful. Particularly when you need a make shift classroom for your lectures and you end up having to make deal with a lecture theatre.

Love the law society and the uni is trying it's best for all their students, it cares a lot about everyone as shown in recent events with Libby Squire and I love all the effort they have put in ,despite the tragedy

Lveeleleleleeeyyyyy hahahaha hehhee

Great facilities, beautiful campus and plenty of coffee shops to unwind in!

I’ve enjoyed the University and it’s structures so far although amelioration in certain fields is needed

Community is great. Uni itself is garbage

I think that this university needs more support for students on the spectrum .And that lecturers have awareness courses on autism

I am an Erasmus student from France and I was really amazed by the campus (the huge library, the sanctuary, the asylum, the sport centre). Everything is made to help foreign students: the lecturers are so good, services as panopto are really helpful.

I really enjoy my time here. I'm really sad it's coming to an end.

Don't go to hull university unless you would like to be bullied by the course director until you crack with your mental health and have to leave. The support system was abysmal and nothing has been done about it, subsequently more students on this 30 person course have had to leave due to mental health.

I absolutely love the university of hull. The campus is beautiful and everything is so easy to find. The library is amazing. I especially love hull university performing arts society as it’s made my time at university so enjoyable and I’ve made so many friends from it.

Lovely, encouraging community with lots to offer and enjoy. Facilities are good. Campus is always clean and a pleasant place to be.

All inclusive university. Lots of societies. Teaching standards are good

Organisation in the course can be an issue but the lectures are generally very good and there are so many resources available

Across the three years spent at the university, each new year brought a new addition to the campus, a new medical building and now a new sports centre for example. The variety of clubs and society on offer means every student can find something to be a part of in their time. The Union was rejigged once or twice, style not for me but social spaces were opened and brought more students in.

Campus is pretty plus my course is interesting and challenging. I really love it.

University of Hull has been more than a place of study for me- Uni of Hull is my home, with such a close community. I feel like a person and not a number here, and know there are countless ways to get support and guidance when I need it. Not to mention the modern facilities and vibrant campus where everyone can socialise together. Wouldn’t change a thing about my time at uni of Hull, so appreciative!

Love going to the Uni of Hull !!! People are all so friendly, love my lecturers and the city is really underrated. Cheapest pint I’ve found in the whole of the UK. Big up Hull!

Everything I’ve needed is there, been easy to rise up to a society committee position and to get my voice heard

A good uni. Lots of activities and amazing tutors.

Surprisingly nice campus and city, met lots of amazing people though societies. S*** SU.

The University of Hull is a great uni with top of the range facilities and excellent teaching. Here, you do not feel like a number on a sheet, but a valued member of the university. Could not recommend this university any more, Hull has a big place in my heart.

Amazing campus and facilities. Great support and societies

I want a refund on my £9000. I am in my final year of university and lecturers for both my courses - including my dissertation class - left. Leaving us with unorganised classes. No structure. An incredible amount of stress, and very little help. It's a shambles.

If you want a University that goes out of its way to ensure you always have what you need then the university of hull is the one for you!

After coming through clearing in 2015 I was really surprised with the quality of teaching here. Lectures want to listen to your questions and are happy to help all the time and the SU has tonnes of great things to get involved with!

In short this uni is amazing, I have loved my 4 years here

Fantastic University for Law and aspiring lawyers. The campus, staff and opportunities are all amazing.

It’s been a wonderful experience the university doesn’t always get things right but they always seek to fix any issues. The support I have revived both academic and also professional has been very useful. My lecturers have also been amazing and are ever ready to lend a helping hand

Many facilities available, e.g. mental health and student reps. Staff are friendly and approachable (most). As with everything you have to chase things up to get it done, if not don't leave it until it's too late since it may affect your course/grades. Keep up to date on everything, yet again communication is key.

The University i felt was really convenient, it had great facilities for certain faculties, i think sciences and sports were really exceptional. But it lacked in other faculities like Arts and Humanities. I did my degree in the Arts and Humanities and i felt the teachers were not very knowledge and lacked motivation to produce good lectures and material. One of the heads of Philosophy used to either turn up late, or just with a book. No slides, no prep no HW, no support...just a book and would essentially read to us what we were meant to have read in our own time. Because he assumed noone had read it. If i had read it, then i would spend almost one hour just blankly staring out the window as he slowly read through what i had already read myself.... how exactly is that teaching. Seemed like he literally had been out drinking the night before and just showed up or something. Don't recommend the Arts and Humanities sectors of this uni, other students say the same.

I am 2nd year of PhD course. I love U of Hull so much. This Uni has given me a research knowledge. Graduate school provides you a supportive modules as PhD student should have done.

First year accommodation is very good and affordable.The lecturers at the Law School are excellent. A good balance between academic and social life. Good facilities and most of all a friendly place. Staff are polite and profesional.

Absolute garbage, literally provide barely any help on the courses.

I have just graduated from Hull and I’ve had amazing 4 years! The campus is beautifull, one of a kind where everything is super close, but it is not small at the same time so during your first days you might get lost a bit! Univeristy facilities were ok, nothing extraordinary but everything that you need to succeed! And the library... great! But could have a few more PCs and study rooms to accommodate more groups! I highly recommend joining either a sports club or a society because that’s what made my life at uni unforgettable! A chance to meet some great people and make amazing memories! Most of the lecturers were really good and some of them were exceptionally amazing, very outgoing and really striving to build that personal relationship with students! I believe Hull is a great univeristy, despite the not so great reputation for the city, but you go there to succeed academically and live your great life which I think Hull can provide! ~first class accounting graduate

When I studied in Hull it was 1995. I hope have changed. I was really just a child who arrived with a view to studying and learning, lots of potential, but the whole focus when I arrived was on drinking and partying. I fell into this after struggling to stay away and having it thrust Upon me. It was impossible as so much of the focus is on the student union bars, nightclubs, drinking.its hard to avoid. The university offered no support and students are left to their own devices. I became a mess during my time there. I had no structure, support or direction. I felt the lecturers were arrogant and condescending. They didn’t have an open door policy. I was far from home. It was a shock. Had I had the chance again, I would not study here. Luckily I’ve now worked hard and run and manage my own successful firm. None of this is thanks to Hull Uni.

A great uni to be at, warm and welcoming with a beautiful campus.

Lets start with pros: -The city of Hull is wonderful and filled with wonderful, friendly people. I have friends for life that I made there and I look forward to returning every time I go back -Hull University has a beautiful campus with absolutely excellent facilities. The library is fantastic and I loved working there. -The area around the Uni is almost custom made for students. It is filled with shops, restaurants, coffee shops, barbers, fast food places and anything else you might need. -Very easy route to the city centre from campus Now the cons: - I did Mechanical Engineering and the department were almost universally hated by almost my entire year. Disorganised, absolutely useless at communicating with students, very poor quality of notes and we received very little help from the Science Hub. -The Union claim to care about your mental health; they don't. They are useless and I often had to go through 7/8 different contacts to sort my problem. They have absolutely no clue.

I have had the best time so far. Of course we all have our ups and downs but university made me grow as a person and also realise what it is I actually want to do. I started off studying politics and international relations but now study geology (my original plan - there were a few reasons why i couldnt). After considering leaving university, the Geology / Geography department allowed me to finish off the rest of my first year as a science foundation year. Im honestly so grateful for this opportunity and the university were amazing at helping me through the process. The facilities here are great and the union has a vast range of societies. I didnt really participate this year as I just wanted to settle in and find my feet. As I start my first year of Geology, I will definitely join a few clubs!

A surprisingly good university despite the reputation that Hull sometimes has!!

Asylum is an amazing nightclub, highly recommend joining a society as they have socials that go there every wednesday. I personally didn't join any but I know plenty of people who did, and it looks like a good time. Uni gym is huge, although a private gym might be better and cheaper, depending how into working out you are. Campus wifi is brilliant.

The library is not for Computer Science students, you cannot work for c++ in the library, and in the laboratories is very cold. Lots of technical problems with their server and installed software, sometimes your grades can be affected by that. :(

Everything is great apart from the timetables, if you're travelling into uni, rather than living there, i strongly suggest looking into your contact time etc because the way they have chosen to timetable lectures/tutorials/seminars this year is mindboggling.

I applied to study Adult Nursing after having worked as a care assistant without having had any sickness absence and was already educated to postgraduate level. I left my job and put my house on the market after my offer status was changed to unconditional. However, the Head of Admissions Service rescinded my offer, thus preventing me from taking up a place at my insurance university (De Montfort), where I had obtained occupational health clearance and no reasonable adjustments were deemed to have been necessary. Evidence of how disrespectful and unkind that the university's staff are to disabled applicants was that they sent me the e-mails that were being sent to students who had been allowed to commence the course. The university's reason for rescinding my offer was, 'he was unable on the currently available medical information to offer a health opinion upon your medical fitness to commence student nurse training'- it was his responsibility to obtain what he required!

Loved being at Hull, couldn't imagine myself anywhere else.

The University of Hull was one of the best choices I made. I started off doing psychology but when I found it was not for me they helped me change courses within a week.

one of the worse decisions I ever made was to go there. the staff are non professional, the whole approach on complaints and procedures are just non existent. they treat people as test dummies for new schemes which ruins your actual learning of the subject. you are off more than you are actually there to study. My advice is to find somewhere else, STAY WELL CLEAR OF THIS PLACE !!! #SOCIAL SCIENCES

The Department of Computer Science at the University of Hull is horrible and has some of the UNFRIENDLIEST, CONDESCENDING and downright RUDE people I have ever met.

Initially I thought coming here would be a big mistake but so far the university itself is good. It may not have the prestige of some of the Russell group uni's but is good if you want to focus on your studies and have a good time. That said, if there was anything to improve I would have an emphasis on the University finding more opportunities for students across all fields. And it seems like the staff don't care about improving the reputation of the University tbh.

Really need more computers in the library as they are always in use from 11-4.

Could not see myself anywhere else!

I advise all students not to register with MR ANDREW ALPHONSUS. This landlord specialises in scamming students. 141 cottingham Road Hull, 264 cottingham road hull, pls Beware

Lovely environment to be in with helpful teachers and helpful staff! Such a welcoming university and great up to date facilities!

Had a class time, facilities are great and support services help you

Good university' enjoyed my time here

Union was fantastic, biggest downfall was the time it took for kit to arrive, every year

Great place to learn and socialise

A lot of societies with a lot of different groups of people, something for everyone. The union is helpful and offers a lot of services and the union bar is a good place for kareoke etc

Keysurf really needs to be sorted out before all the students throw the library computers out of the 1000 pound windows

A very good university if you want to be treated as an individual and have your own needs met

Hull is my new home. Join the City of Culture 2017.

Lots of opportunities to get involved, large range of good quality services

Internet and library are good, though sometimes all the computers are taken up. Lots of societies, but the union is a bit uncoordinated and most were elected to their positions (including president) with no opposition.

Every club/society you can think of and if they haven't got one you want, you can start your own! There are loads of places to eat/drink on campus, it's so easy to grab a sandwich between lectures or plan to meet all your friends for pub food and a pint at the end of the day in Sanc. Any books/stationary/food to cook at home/clothing etc. Can all be found at the union shop or water stones upstairs which is really useful and saves you having to get the bus to the shops on the way home. Careers service are really useful, they provide loads of help not only with advice on career pathways but help and templates for writing CV's, how to market yourself etc. Wifi on campus always works, perfect if you want to use a device for lectures rather than a notepad and pen - I prefer to do this as I get the PowerPoints up and make notes below, saves loads of time trying to link what you've written to a slide when you're revising. Library - amazing! Such a good atmosphere for chilling and doing work!

WiFi is fast and reliable everywhere. Sports teams and societies are fantastic! They really make up the best times I've had at the uni so far. The campus and union are brilliant and supply everything you need.

meh. I came to Hull for my specific course, not the uni.

societies Wednesdays in the student union!

A little hidden gem in a s**** area, it's so underrated but it really is a lovely place to be and study

Generally awesome but with a couple of grating flaws like the Internet.

The academics in the Science & Technology department are very good, personal supervisors are too.

Fantastic place to study! So welcoming and supportive throughout your time when you need it but allows full independence! Loved my time here! So many opportunities offered! Careers were all very friendly however careers advice after uni when graduates are struggling could be improved as I felt like they only cared about knowing where I was for the league tables rather than actually helping me out.

I'm in second year now, Hull University is really underrated!

The university had been great, I have the support of the academics who are very willing to help if you just ask.

fantastic student union, good societies and general happy feel to the uni

The university it's self is pretty good, loads of places to sit and the WiFis alright although our lectures have been away more than they've been here...

Hull; as a university it shows aspects of being very good. However; Hull as a city shows aspects of being like that place from one of the early Harry Potter movies when he's stood in the Weasley's fire place and accidentally says Diagonally as opposed Diagon Alley.
