AMAZING AND CLEAN IT IS VERY SAFE AND STAFF ARE FRIENDLY
i like the study spaces on campus and the facilities such as the multi use spaces
I’ve been in university of leicester for a couple of years and filbert village is a great place to stay! not so far from uni or town
It’s a very mediocre campus, focus on engineering department seems limited. Engineering buildings are old and dated, library is decent but super crowded, the vibe is definetely dated on campus. Newer buildings such as Sir Bob Burgees is excellent, Business campus (Brookfields) is a lot nicer than main campus but it isn’t 24/7
Good accommodation and I like the facilities
Great uni with amazing people and facilities

A good university to attend, enjoyed my stay here
Good university, it exceeded my expectations in some areas while being as I expected in others. While there are many things I could say, at the end of the day, I did decide to continue here for masters and that speaks for itself.
Very nice campus with helpful staff.
Good uni and nice social life!!
The University of Leicester provides a generally positive academic experience with good teaching and supportive staff, particularly within lectures and seminars. The campus is well located and facilities such as the library and study spaces are useful, although they can become very busy during peak times. While there are plenty of opportunities to get involved in societies and student life, some services can feel slow or overcrowded at times. Overall, it is a decent university experience with strong academic support, but there is room for improvement in organisation and facilities availability.
Campus is a nice site, and there are great food services. Lots of sport and leisure societies
Good university with great staff involved

Good university, very diverse and a friendly atmosphere

Great facilities including Charles Wilson library.
My experience at the University of Leicester has been very positive. The campus and facilities are modern, well-maintained, and provide great spaces for both studying and relaxing. There are lots of clubs and societies, making it easy to meet people and get involved in different interests. The Students’ Union is well organised, active, and supportive, and really adds to the overall student experience. The careers service is generally helpful and communicates well, offering useful guidance when needed. Internet and Wi-Fi have been reliable throughout my time here, which has been essential for studying and day-to-day work. Overall, it’s a welcoming university with a good balance of academic support and student life.
Nice facilities and su has lots of food places
A good campus with everything that you would need

Good university with good, accessible facilities
Got everything needed, facilities there are some that are good some average. Societies there’s a lot of and standard support services for students.
there is a wide variety of clubs to choose from and the university is located quite centrally in the city if Leicester so there are lots of great places to try nearby and places to go
Excellent university. Easy to make friends and a good study space.

Good facilities and good and helpful staff
Decent university, they need to deal with construction issues and staff
This is a brilliant university. The campus is beautiful and amenities on the campus is amazing!
Great university, came for an open day and fell in love with it
Beautiful school ,beautiful education.
Sports facilities are terrible and there’s only one library for the whole school not many study places available
Overall, Newarke Street offers more than just accommodation — it provides a supportive community which you are able to connect with and live in a safe environment with no risk of danger coming , during the academic year . If you’re searching for student accommodation, this should be your first choice — you really don’t need to look anywhere else.

The university is fairly respectable and the physics department is full of hard working staff that make studying here great. I joined the department for the atmosphere and was not disappointed! I will be proud to have a degree from this department going forward, and have had many incredible experiences with some leading members in their research fields. The university itself however feels like recently it does not care for its students, only whether or not you pay your tuition. They lay off whole departments of academics and then the vice chancellor gives himself pay rises and awards. This is blatantly not right!
Lovely and welcoming. Amazing staff
Good university with supportive staff and the facilities are top class
Great experience as it is quite welcoming
Great campus with an amazing student union however the student support is slightly lacking
honestly don’t spend that much time on campus. prefer to work from the flat. needs more bins.
It’s been very good studying and living in Leicester. Facilities are really easy to access and to use which is very good. The WiFi is good enough for studying and for lecture use, which also enables students to have more face to face interactions with their peers. Overall the experience in Leicester has been great.
I have been so thankful to join this university as a student going into law. It is such a diverse university and has great connections to the top employers in London. The societies are amazingly organised which is a credit to the students but the SU is very helpful in giving their support and guidance. Various food options cost friendly and then some staying up with the trends so plenty to choose from. I really enjoy all the social spaces, there are options for more quiet study like in the Library and then some for more friendly activities. Everyone respects the rules of the zone they are in which is also a plus. Campus regularly has different fairs or stalls going on for cute shopping moments and also host lots of fun events such as the Winter Wonderland this year. I think the university could benefit from more funding and dealing with large scale issues such as strikes but that is all really.
Good university, but a lot of the buildings are under repair works.
Uni of Leicester is good. Nothing to complain about
The university has amazing social spaces
enjoying my time here. Simply lovely!
Great areas to study aswell as lecturers are easy to find on campus
It’s okay. I’m generally satisfied and happy.
Decent university but the campus is old and small.
Regents court has really friendly staff, Mildred and Maisy are always happy to help and offer support.
i love my university and i think the student union is amazing with lovely staff
Ming university I recommend it
Very nice looking university with a large campus
I can’t say how dissatisfied I am with this university. If we talk about the facilities, the WiFi never works, you are placed in a different, cold, tiny room every seminar. The library is always full so you have to find a noisy, cramped space to study. I did a masters here. It felt like a beginner course. I got no support, I take some responsibility for my grades dropping but the standard of teaching was genuinely shocking. It’s probably because the Vice Chancellor decided to pocket all the money and has sacked all of the actual lectures. Staff have been threatening to student activists. It doesn’t matter if you agree or don’t agree with the politics of the students, the staff were willing to be abusive towards their own students. This is a massive safety risk. I was completely unmotivated here. The career service will send you an email once a year saying there’s three jobs in London you don’t have the qualifications to apply for. Utterly useless, please do not come here!!!
Facilities are a bit old but overall a good campus but could do with some renovation and make it more modern.
I’m really enjoying my time at leicester so far. Good work life balance and friendly environment
Enjoying my course studying computer science as a second year. Good range of services however a lot of lecture buildings are outdated.
Enjoying my time here, would say that WiFi needs to be improved
Great accommodation with a friendly atmosphere and clean facilities. I really enjoy living here. Thanks to Jarod and his team for all their support!
ok univeristy, the people here suck
It have been an amazing experience at the Uni of Leicester thus far.
Overall, The campus is very well maintained and looked after.
I really enjoy going to uni, and you can find something for everyone
Great university, with so many resources and support available, including academic support for when your struggling with your course and need some support and pastoral support when your feeling down or you feel that your well-being is affected either due to your studies or anything else in your life. There’s lots of societies available for anything you can imagine, enabling you to meet like minded people. Very good quality teaching and the university is climbing the ranks in the leaderboards.
A good university, a better city. One I would recommend to anyone planning to get a degree.
its alright i like the university
10/10 experience the staff are amazinfg aswelll as the facilities
Good university can’t complain
Everything’s good and fantastic. Good pricing and very helpful people to assist in literally everything - especially Mildred.
The career service offer great help in Reviewing your CVs, but unfortunately from what I have heard they do not offer much help in getting placed with the industries.
Easy to navigate campus, close to the city centre and train station
I had very great experience and i am enjoying studying with university of Leicester
Goo university diverse people WiFi doesn’t work in some spots or is really slow
I'm currently in my second year at the University of Leicester and have really enjoyed my experience so far. Supportive staff and a great environment to study in.
Very positive experience, great property!!
It is a good school with complete facilities. But the terrain is too high, and I have to climb very steep slopes every time.
My experience at the University of Leicester has been very rewarding. The lecturers are supportive, the campus has excellent facilities, and the diverse student community makes it a welcoming place for international students. The university offers plenty of opportunities for academic growth, research, and extracurricular activities, while the city itself is affordable and student-friendly. Overall, it's a great environment to learn, grow, and prepare for future opportunities.
The careers service is not that good, there are not that many part time opportunities being suggested.
Good uni with great student support and nice facilities
Great university with lots of support if needed.
Good evenvironment for study . Amazing staff and campus tours .
good regular events and helpful student union team, however campus food could have a better selection and slightly cheaper.
The campus is a great, lively place with a lot to do. The Student Union has multiple food spots and cosy areas to hang out with your friends. There are numerous clubs and societies to join, catering to a wide range of interests.
As an international student, I’ve felt incredibly welcomed here! The university goes above and beyond to make everyone feel at home, and the lively, diverse culture on campus is truly amazing. Every day brings new opportunities to connect, learn, and celebrate different backgrounds—it’s an experience I absolutely love!
