My time so far at USW has been unforgettable. I've made so many friends I will keep with me forever. I spend almost everyday at the Artrium campus, whether it be having lunch in the zen bar or studying in the library, USW has created a convenient and comfortable space for students and for that I am most grateful. read more

I have had an amazing experience at Newport Student Village so far! From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and at home. The atmosphere here is incredible—both the staff and the people are genuinely kind and supportive. I never imagined I would feel so comfortable while being away from home. The staff at Newport Student Village are truly outstanding. They are always available to help, making student life much easier. A special shoutout to **Ash, Rosana, Jake, and Sue**—they are incredibly sweet and always go the extra mile to assist us. Ash, in particular, is always around whenever we need help, which makes a huge difference in ensuring we have a smooth stay. One of the best parts of living here is the **huge common area**, where students can cook, play games, relax, and socialize. It’s a fantastic space to unwind after a long day of studies. The **events organized by the staff** add so much value to the experience! From festival celebrations to food-filled gatherings, they al read more

The university is okay despite the decline it has experienced in recent years. Good course but students could use more support/help especially students from low income backgrounds due to cost of living crisis. read more

Great university for its purpose, as a cyber student the quality of computer systems is really important and USW do their part in making sure that their students have the tools that they need to do their work. However there is no student union that I am aware of. read more

It’s good enough. You go and learn. The rooms are good but equipment for filming seems to only have issues, if that be with the actual broken equipment or the loans website not allowing students to book out equipment in time. There are no clubs other than 1 that I know of, for an arts campus it feels like it should feel more colourful and livelier. The plain white walls on every floor do become a bit scary after a while. read more

my experience with the university of South Wales as a whole has been pretty good. Treforest/pontypridd campus has most of the facilities, societies, student union presence and is the biggest campus by far. I'm at Newport campus though. There are 2 societies and barely any facilities, the student union is basically non existent at this campus and it's clear that it is underfunded. Most of my lecturers are great but there are some that are the definition of death by PowerPoint and claim to offer support about the course but it's like talking to a brick wall read more

WiFi can be slow at times, at the Newport campus there is very little societies and clubs to attend. There is extremely little activity from the student union, if there is any.. not advertised very well. However, facilities that are available and staff are great at Newport campus read more

Good modern campus with relatively good WiFi, only the occasional drop. Good choice of societies, however most are at the Treforest or Cardiff campus not here in Newport. read more

The Newport campus is just one building, but it is great. With a nice view of the River Usk, the Uni is really well equipped with technology, private studying rooms, and its own Starbucks. The library is well stocked, and laptop loans are very easy and convenient. Not to mention, the variety of shops and restaurants just across the road to pop in to between lectures. I couldn’t complain about a thing! read more
