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.

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

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
.lovelh place where i feel included
I haven’t explored my university campus as much but from what i’ve seen i’m very pleased
The infrastructure is complete, the facilities are intact, and the network speed is fast. A perfect campus
DMU is an okay University however I think it needs to be updated and a lot of facilities need refurbishment, especially the library
Aisha and the rest of the receptionist team is supportive and welcoming. The receptionist team make this place feel like home.
I really enjoy staying here. The receptionist are very welcoming
Starting university was exciting and a bit overwhelming at first. Everything felt new, people, lectures, and routines. I enjoyed learning subjects I actually cared about. Balancing studies and social life took some time to manage. Group projects taught me patience and teamwork. Overall, university helped me grow more confident and independent.
Love the accom everything is close
The university has a very welcoming environment.
Food options are very limited.
an inclusive campus, that could have more amenities
WiFi isn’t very good but everything else is great!
DMU has a wide variety of events and services to really make a student feel at home. The course I am currently attending (Concept and Comic Art) has fantastic teachers, all being highly skilled, knowledgable, and personable. They're even able to make me enjoy aspects of the course I wouldn't normally like.
Decent course decent university decent union decent
The university location is quite convenient and the staff are helpful and kind
Beautiful place with amazing staff
Great facilities. Easy access to different buildings.
Good uni, nice place and good town for students
I did my master's degree here, and now I am back again for my Phd because I had an overall good experience.
DMU has a place for everyone , and can also help you secure a graduate job thanks to DMU's Careers Service. In terms of campus and facilities, it is great.
The teachers are helpful and welcoming. They teach amazingly and I understand the importance of being there.
The wifi is the worst around university that keeps disconnecting.
i love my uni, its clean and also really has a good structure then all the lectures helping me a lot
Really nice career team and lots of facilities available for students
DMU has an excellent campus location, right in the city centre and close to all key amenities. The facilities are modern, with strong investment in social spaces, study areas, and technology, which makes day-to-day student life convenient. The university also offers a wide range of societies, events, and activities, creating a strong sense of community for those who get involved. On the academic side, the quality of teaching and support can vary between courses. While many lecturers are approachable and committed, communication between departments and administrative staff is sometimes slow and inconsistent. Some students feel that issues raised aren’t always handled with the urgency or seriousness they deserve, which can be frustrating. Overall, DMU provides a safe, modern, and well-connected environment with plenty of opportunities, but there is room for improvement in how student concerns and administration are managed.
My university is the best for everything
I’m extremely satisfied with my course facility along with my tutors but also everyone is so nice and approachable.
i am on the Design Crafts course and have seen all the amazing facilities in the vijay patel building. this course and university has SO much to offer if you’re a creative student. i felt so uplifted by the tutors and workshop staff they will move heaven and earth to help you make your dreams come true within a project, and if you’re feeling stressed or down their is a brilliant mental health service within the university. not to mention the careers service which has jobs available on campus if you are in need of money i highly recommend this university
As the weeks go by, I'm finding new spots to explore around the area. From cozy coffee shops to lively local markets, there's always something to do. I've also joined a few clubs at the accommodation, which has been a fantastic way to connect with people who share my interests. Whether it's a quiet night in the common room or an adventurous day out in the city, every moment feels like a new experience. I can't wait to see what other memories I'll make here!
Love my time here feel so safe and lucky
It’s good, i love the societies
Yh it’s great tbh bothing wise go really say
Lovely place to be, a variety of opportunities available and a very welcoming environment. The entire campus is somewhat close together so its also easy to navigate to other buildings
Very good overall & around campus.
Going to DMU has actually been a good experience. I enjoy the block modules, it makes studying easier. It allows me to be flexible. The campus is really good, comfortable and big.
Paige at Student Roost is absolutely amazing! She is always so helpful and caring, and it’s clear she genuinely puts us as students first. Whenever there’s an issue, she makes it her priority to get it sorted quickly and properly. You can really tell she cares about our wellbeing and comfort, and that makes such a difference. Paige goes above and beyond every time, and we’re so grateful to have her support here.
Very big and spacious. So lovely to look at
I’ve been studying at de montfort university for two years now; having volunteered at the student union, working with academics and even giving talks and presentations to academics on the student experience i have loved every moment so far. the city is safe for students, it’s relatively liveable whwn student finance is in, and i’ve really loved studying at de montfort university. it’s become a second home for me!
Great university, so much going on, campus has always got activities or some kind of event going on. Staff are friendly and helpful and will always do their best to resolve any issues. Campus is diverse and there are a wide range of societies to join
Good course and good teachers and good society’s
really good societies. the library is great. everything from food to clubs is quite close to campus
i think this unis strength is it’s awareness and accommodation of student health both mental and physical
Lots of green space and modern buildings
Although I haven’t been involved much with the societies, the uni will give lots of info on how to join them, and the uni life here’s good
It was good learning from talented tutors.. they taught us many things in new way from my previous experience of learning.
The only downside is the WiFi it often disrupts my work throughout the day.
My university experience has overall been a very good place, it allowed me to grow as individual and become the person I was proud and happy of being. In terms of facilities the DMU campus is a mix between new and old builds, in that sense the technology is all new and of the best quality allowing you to do your best, the old buildings give you a very rustic feeling and a very nice scenic view
My experience at De Montfort University has been positive and supported me to be the person I am today.
good university for career support and social aspect, state of the art facilities and resources for students to all use mostly for free. a good investment into education.
10/10 Experience. Support is everywhere
great place to live, close to uni and the staff are amazing
Consistently having issues with lecturers across every subject, hearing from many people across different faculties that they have the same issues. Poor workload due to the short time provided for assessments, not enough information provided for the assessments again due to the time, consistently contradicting feedback. Regularly delayed grading. Staff being forced to leave by the higher ups due to budget cuts leaving students without enough lecturers between us. Inaccessible campus (on a hill both upwards and sideways, and super uneven paving with broken concrete in areas) especially in a wheelchair. Most doors don't have automatic systems so even more inaccessible. Most lecturers are very prejudice towards disabilities and mental health from what I've seen. Reports made but nothing happens. Available resources but hard to access at times or very unhelpful sometimes.
The student life here is really great, amazing events to welcome you and a easy walk to city centre, tonnes to do!
my experience at de montfort university is very valuable. It is a good university but i dont enjoy much due to not being aware of much activities going on.
I really love my university as it always has something going around, wether its is DSU or in social communities I am apart of. Furthermore, the campus has all the facilities to support and help achieve more for students which I believe is core purpose. The career teams are soo supportive and they always look for new opportunities when we are unable to find one by ourselves and they are always looking out for us and helping us whenever possible.
Good University, great environment
Great uni , not far from most accommodations
I really enjoy the teaching in my university also student experience is very good.
I study psychology at dmu. Overall I’m satisfied with thing however there are somethings that they could work on it for example the psychology social is not that active and they didn’t run any event in 2 previous terms.
Its been a pleasant experience so far
I’ve really enjoyed my time at this accommodation. The receptionist staff are all very nice and helpful, always ready to assist with anything you need. I’d especially like to mention Barbara and Jaeck, they’ve been incredibly kind and supportive throughout my stay.
Amazing university and helping
The DMU campus is not large, but it provides an environment with complete hardware and software facilities, so that students can find a suitable space to study alone or discuss with classmates anywhere on campus. There are also sufficient equipment and professionals to assist students with technical needs in report writing or work production (the school also provides free use of some paid software such as Adobe Express). For example, after class, I will use the socket in the building or library where I take classes to use my laptop or a public computer to make a presentation or write a report. I can then directly connect to the printer in the same space to print out the document. In addition, because internships require the opening of a Linkedin account, the campus also provides studio rentals so that students or staff can take relevant professional photos.
Good place i love leicester ,z,z
no support for students that work part time to pay bills through changing workshop times in consideration to their daily lives
Great uni environment, it is challenging and very engaging
The management team is so supportive and there to help out where needed
The property team has been so friendly over my time here, and made a great effort to create a personal connection with their tenants
