Finances

Financially I am not fully aware of support offered but I do think that without working then accommodation and food can be afforded with student loans but with the cost of living currently there is not money to finance social activities and although this is clearly not necessary I think it is affecting the university experience.

Overall

Overall Napier University is a good university with many resources including the three libraries available with study rooms and classroom on campus are also available to book. The campuses are easily accessible with good public transport. There are good shops around the campuses but there is also many food options available on campus. The university offers lots of student support which can be found online or in person. Coming back from working online during the height of the pandemic classes are now scheduled well to allow time for breaks and independent work between classes.

Support

Personally I haven’t required support but we are regularly reminded of the ways in which we can contact staff for support. There are many different support services specialising in different areas. Each are clear in how to contact them which can be through email or you can meet with them in person. We also have meetings with our personal development tutor at the beginning of each semester which can be used for guidance in the course or just for a quick chat.

Unilife

It is easy to get from town to the campus which is useful for going out in the evening after classes. In town there are cheap options to go out for food, drinks, cinema and night clubs. There are also lots of good student deals available. You can also go to museums, art galleries and the castle for free. Arthur’s seat, Dean Village and Calton Hill are also popular for students to spend time at. Through the university there also opportunities to go to different events at a good price for example tickets for the Van Gogh exhibit were 75% cheaper.
