5 Stars – A Fantastic Student Living Experience at Vita Living at Vita has truly enhanced my university experience. From the moment I moved in, I felt welcomed and supported. The staff are always friendly, approachable, and quick to help with anything—from maintenance requests to everyday questions. It’s clear they genuinely care about the residents’ well-being. The facilities are modern, clean, and thoughtfully designed for student life. I especially love the communal areas—perfect for studying, socializing, or just relaxing after a long day. The events hosted by Vita are also a great way to meet new people and feel part of a community. My room is comfortable, stylish, and has everything I need to feel at home. Having a private bathroom and well-equipped kitchen space makes a big difference in day-to-day comfort and convenience. Overall, Vita provides a safe, supportive, and vibrant environment that I’d highly recommend to any student looking for high-quality accommodation.
Very good university, everything is good
Studying at the University of Ulster has been a wonderful experience! The faculty has been very welcoming, accommodating, and open-minded. Learning about education in Northern Ireland has been incredible, as the faculty has offered campus facilities for our use and has taken us to many places to explore the culture of Northern Ireland. The experience has been absolutely wonderful! :)
Your experience at UU really depends on what campus you’re on. Having studied on the Magee Campus for the last 3 years, I’m very disappointed and don’t feel I have gotten my moneys worth for a uni experience. Staff were always very supported and tried their best but there’s only so much they could do with the very limited resources and support you get from the uni itself. Very little clubs and societies on campus, with many being inactive. Little to no events on campus and the accessibility is shocking! Not an award winning uni.
I had an absolutely amazing time at Ulster University! From studying my BSc degree for 4 years and now finishing off my MSc degree, the staff were so supportive throughout! The careers team are so so helpful and friendly too. I was based in the Belfast Campus and I loved it so much and am sad to finally be leaving after an enjoyable 5 years. I recommend Ulster University to everyone based on the amazing campuses, supportive staff, opportunities and great learning environment!

Very good. Everyone very helpful
Very good university. Excellent career services, opportunities both global and local, funding, teaching and general support. Personally, as someone with ASD, disability accomodations and services have been incredibly generous.
Great staff who work day and night and the gym is a highlight for me

Nice location, lots of places to study and quiet places to sit in.
good uni, good craic, good vibes
Overall had a wonderful experience and would definitely suggest people to choose Great Patrick
Came from a small school and settled quickly thanks to welcoming environment
College of medicine and dentistry very bad
Could offer more support for apprentices. As a degree apprentice I don’t feel like a true student and fully apart of the community at my University. Maybe they could have more events catered to apprentices.
I don't have access to the uni wifi. The campus is small. No societies or any social activities.
The four years has been great, the staff are so helpful and always willing to help. A lovely atmosphere to make friends, making the uni experience so much better.
This is for Ulster Univeristy - Belfast. Great location, good facilities and, lots of space for revision while grabbing food or a coffee from one of the shops inside.

Great, friendly staff and welcoming positive environment
Love the uni great craic cheap pints and better than Queen’s
Lovely campus friendly staff great accommodation
University is an overall enjoyable experience
Great campus with modern up to date facilities and approachable lecturers
Ulster university is a decent uni but it seems the entire place is made to cater to international students, the accommodation is simply unaffordable (it costs more than what you get from student finance) and everything costs way too much money even working a job it is still difficult as a result of the inflated prices from internationals who get far more financial support compared to locals. Don’t expect to come here and survive without financial aid from your parents if you’re studying full time.
Excellent facilities and helpful staff
Brilliant rooms, nice and quiet makes it easy to study!
Great place fantastic facilities. Staff all very friendly and helpful
Very good university loving my experience so far
