It was Covid, so not really the univeristies' fault. But Leicester made me feel unsafe all the time. It was not uncommon to see loud arguments and fights in public placements or be repeatedly harassed and followed for money in the street. Catcalling was so commonplace no women I knew walked alone.

Cost of living in leicester is relatively cheap. I was charged full fees despite effectively being on placement during my final year.

Facilities were excellent, computer labs well equipped, would've just been nice to get our subject-specific software on library computers as well as our dedicated studios.

There was more they could've done - particularly with some niche subject-specific knowledge - but given the resources they did have and the existing knowledge of the staff, they did a great job.

De Montfort has a great campus and good student support services. I felt like the quality of teaching on my course was of a good standard. Leicester as a city often feels unsafe when alone.
