Really nice university and has multiple study areas which are quiet and spacious.
very lovely, good experiencemm
the campus is very aesthetic and the teachers there are very helpful
doesn’t connect well in campus which is problematic during lectures everything else is good
Great campus and facilities however wifi could be way better if it worked
I have been a resident at Lumis for over three years, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. From the very beginning, Abid has been incredibly helpful and supportive, guiding me through everything from booking to check-in. Whenever I’ve needed assistance with my room or maintenance issues, he promptly escalated them to the team to ensure quick resolutions. He even went out of his way to help with my move-in, and on multiple occasions, his great support has made all the difference. It’s because of this exceptional service that I’ve chosen to renew my stay for another year. Abid truly provides top-notch quality and care, what a great guy! I absolutely love everything about Lumis and highly recommend it to students.
The place is great with good facilities and amazing staff. I was here before and Abid did fantastic helping me rebook my room
My experience over the past 4 years has been amazing. From the support of the university lecturers on my course, to the careers team helping me secure a placement and being part of the dance society which has enabled me to make lots of new friends.
A very good experience with lots of activities available. I love it.
DMU it’s an amazing university with lots of student support and lots of different students from around the world. I love my nursing course im doing and meeting lots of new people. The staffs are amazing and supportive.
the campus is good and so are the facilities, but timetables change every week, making it difficult to get a job and keep to other commitments.
I have had a fantastic experience here. The staff truly care about the students, often going above and beyond to provide guidance for onward studies and helping us secure graduate jobs or placements. Their support has been a highlight of my time. Additionally, the facilities are top-notch. The Wi-Fi connection is exceptionally reliable and fast, which has made it easy to stay productive with my studies while also enjoying entertainment without any lag. I highly recommend this place to any student looking for a supportive and well-equipped environment.
Lumis is a great place to stay, it’s close by to DMU and local shops around the neighbourhood. In addition Abid is very professional and helped me in pre booking for last year. Great guy
Well first day of going to the school gave me a very big experience and improve on my social life
Good university. Easy access to buildings
I made the best choice coming Leicester to study, I'm enjoying the experience.
i am a final year student at De Montfort University and my experience was enriching. The campus is vibrant and well-equipped, with modern facilities that cater to all academic needs.All the members are knowledgeable and approachable ,always willing to help students succeed.
DMU carries out block teaching where you study one block of two related modules over a six week period, followed by an assessment week during the seventh week. For me, although there is a huge amount covered in such a small time frame, this is more suitable than having 7/8 models I have to revise for at the end of the year. Staff are very friendly, inviting a practical element to engineering, in addition to a theoretical one.
The societies have been fun, and the facilities useful.
My experience at De Montfort University has been very positive. The university has a supportive and welcoming environment, with modern facilities that make studying comfortable and engaging. The campus is well located, close to the city centre, which makes student life convenient and enjoyable. The lecturers are approachable and helpful, and there are plenty of academic resources available to support learning.
De Montfort university has provided me various platform that helps with my studies. Platforms like library in the campus and online library in student portal helps me helpful resources to learn and get knowledge and help with assignment less stressful. Teachers are very friendly and helpful . Whenever I have questions I ask them and they help me till I am satisfied. One of my favorite facilities my university provides is that I have access to laptop or computer if my person laptop is not functioning properly with free WiFi. I got to attend few career events organized my the university which was helpful to decide what I want to do in the future after graduation.
Merlin heights is a great place to live. The staff are so nice and always going above and beyond. Sabine, Oliwia and Tom are genuinely caring. The rooms are spacious and affordable.
I’ve overall had a positive experience no problems thus far
It’s okay, nice buildings and facilities
DMU has a lot of opportunities and great respurces that are available to students to make sure they have the optimal learning experience. DMU also has a great well being team and have some great polocies for making sure everyone is safe and getting necessary support.
The university is quite large and full of people, which initially made me feel a little anxious. However, the environment is very pleasant and comfortable. The classrooms are well-sized — not too small or cramped, and not too large either. The lecturers and classmates are very friendly and always willing to help. This makes the learning environment feel warm and welcoming, and it has helped me feel much more at ease.
Nice university to attend. The reason for the review is because although I'm aware of helpful resources available I've not really made full use of them. The course I'm attending has been very educational and has aided me in making what I want in a career a reality.
This campus is huge and very pretty. It has so many building facilitated for a variety of courses and a huge library. aplenty of social events that occur throughout the year, with the vast majority of staff being so great and supportive.
I’ve had a great experience staying here and would 100% recommend it. The value for money is really good considering the facilities and support you get, and the location is perfect, close to uni, shops, and transport. The property management is excellent and any issues are sorted quickly. Cleaning is always kept to a high standard, especially in the shared areas. The social spaces are modern, comfortable, and great for both studying and chilling, which really adds to the social experience and sense of community. The WiFi is fast and reliable, which is a huge plus for studying and streaming. The staff are honestly the best part, Cordelia, Gabby, and Samira are all so friendly and helpful, and both the day and night staff are amazing. Special shoutout to Sean on the night team for always making the place feel safe and secure. Overall, such a positive, welcoming place to live, I’m really glad I chose it!
It’s really good however I just don’t like how the heating systems work here and the shower water temperature are never right
good place to study and everyone very friendly and understanding
I’m enjoying my stay here and I’m going to book again for next year
I always felt supported at DMU , the library staff are helpful, the student community is diverse and friendly, And they offer many services which are important for students. DMU is a welcoming place to study.
The campus is nice to explore and the staff are friendly. Finding buildings and classrooms rooms are made easier with the campus maps too.
Good variety of places to get food and study
Im enjoying it I find it really fun meeting new people.
Everything is amazing and the staff are very helpful and friendly
Great experience, could be notified better of certain career opportunities better and offer more student experience aside frominternships,
could have some more improvements
Amazing experience and time with Non-Stop activities and great opportunities
I have grown to love this university
Good university and good faculty
generally helpful, kind and insightful lecturers. great uni facilities. the food village serves delicious food most of the time (amazing pizza btw). clean buildings. helpful but very slow student support team.
I had a fantastic stay here! The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The host was super friendly and helpful, making the whole experience even better. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great place to stay!
My journey has been amazing at DMU. The seminar activities, workshop, being part of campus activities has boost up so much confidence. As an international student I was somehow afraid if I would be able to cope up here but all my module leader and seminar tutors helped me in every step. I am really looking forward to explore my opportunities coming on my way and highly privilaged to be part of DMU.
DMU is great, the staff are amazing but the social atmosphere is a bit weird, there seems to be a lot of people who aren’t taking things as seriously as they should
Lovely experience in university
Very welcoming societies and very nice training for committee of running a society. Responses could be quicker with the student union but everything else is fantastic
Since i moved în, ive feel so welcomed, by the staff but the room itself. When i had a problem it has been fixed within hours , priorities my needs as a student living in accommodation. Very pleased and happy
Excellent experience for the first 4 months I been here
I like the campus especially my building vijial patel really nice
it’s a good uni with lots to provide
There are many Societies that have caught my eye, and the best part is that there are so many to choose from
The university has great facilities for my course and other needs. Societies are good but lacking basics like swimming clubs. Library services are really good with a range of sources and archives
Studying at De Montfort University has been a really positive and rewarding experience for me. The campus has a great community feel, with modern facilities and plenty of study spaces that make it easy to get work done. I’ve always found the staff and lecturers supportive, approachable, and genuinely invested in helping students succeed. DMU offers lots of opportunities outside the classroom as well workshops, events, societies, and career support that actually helps you build confidence and skills for the future. The campus location is also ideal, with everything in Leicester city centre just a short walk away. Overall, DMU creates a welcoming environment where students can grow academically and personally. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone considering studying here.
i’m pleased with the quality of education provided, the resources and the teaching style they provide
Amazing staff and location. Really love the atmosphere
This is my 2nd year in this accommodation and I have rebooked once again! This accommodation is perfectly situated in between the City Centre and DMU campus, and not a long walk away from University of Leicester. The staff here are extremely lovely and are always available at the reception where you need them. Your parcels are kept safe and there is CCTV around the building for extra security. You can also tell that they prioritise cleanliness in the environment , so everything is always kept nice and clean. The prices are extremely affordable for the kind of rooms you’re getting too! They often put on little seasonal events throughout the year, for example Easter “egg” hunts and Halloween nights with pizza and card games, which helps bring flatmates together! There are 0 complaints, I cant wait to stay another year :)
Not great. But perfectly acceptable
The service was particularly good and warm, especially from Samira. Moreover, the speed of repair for damaged items in the room was also very fast.
Great accom - really good prices (they don’t overcharge you like other accoms) and incredible staff. Lived here for 2 years and it’s the best student roost property I’ve lived at. The location is ideal for DMU students aswell. Cordy and Gabby always go above and beyond aswell as just being incredibly friendly and nice to have a chat with. Maintenance is also efficient thanks to John, never had to wait more than a day for an issue to be resolved. All in all great accom 100% recommend
Nice teachers and lot of support, extensive library materials and facilities
Very good... Excellent atmosphere overall good
It’s great lots to do and safe create space
staff is lovely and easy to find way around

dance society has really helped me to socialise and fully immerse myself into the university experience
It’s a great experience to have right after finishing sixth form. It also helps you gain a piece of yourself to understand who you are.
DMU is undoubtedly my top choice in terms of academic support and module teaching, but the campus network speed at DMU is really hard to be fully satisfied with; sometimes it can even take 1 to 2 minutes to download a file, and I hope it can be optimised in the future.
I really enjoy studying at DMU because the campus feels welcoming and the learning environment supports me really well. The mix of helpful staff, engaging courses, and a friendly atmosphere makes my university experience genuinely enjoyable.
All good, especially the sport aspect
really great uni, very helpful staff knowledgeable in the contemporary dance scene
They have been a great help especially when it come to the block learning i believe it has helped me maintain a good uni life balance which i am very thankful for
DMU is an amazing university, with the campus well layed out and close together, it is easy to get to and from where you need to be- on the same point, the town centre is just 5 minutes away, as well as any retail stores you may wish to shop in. The staff and students are very kind and supportive, wether it be the careers team or even just your tutor.
Staff are very helpful. Reply to every concerns quickly
