Norwich University of the Arts

They will always do their very best to include you. There are many clubs to join, some you may have not even heard of before and want to get into. There is always something for everything and the people who run it will make sure it is known about. Their most recent focus has been litter-picking and creating a greener space for the university. I remember this being a part of a survey we answered, and it appears that they take feedback of their students very seriously. I am personally looking forward to seeing what changes they can bring, as it is a great theme for Spring now that everything is coming back to life.

The university provides its own building for its support and welfare services which is very accessible and close to other buildings. I have personally not had a good time with support services. A lot of my stress during university life has come to around housing. I cannot afford to live in Norwich for my third year and will plan on commuting.

As an introvert, I have surprisingly nothing bad to say about city life. It prepares you for the real world as all kinds of people are most likely to come up to you on the street. Night life is a little more wary, particularly on weekends, however it is something that comes with no matter where you live. The university recommends lots of safe places to go out drinking and this is also usually achieved through word of mouth from students. There are even more relaxing pubs and cafes to talk in is that is more your speed. rnrnCampus life is always busy during the day, especially at lunch. However you will always find somewhere to sit past 5pm and further, as all classes have most likely ended by that time. The university always emails you with fun things to do, free tickets to places such as board game cafu00e9s and laser tag whenever they can get their hands on it. It is always thrilling to meet new people, especially ones who might not necessarily be on the same course as you as you always get to learn something new.

My tutors have been really supportive through my time at university so far. I receive important feedback to the work I create and I find myself constantly improving. You are always learning from your environment, your peers and through your own trial and errors. It is both exciting and scary to work in a competitive workplace, but it has prepared me, as I may have felt overwhelmed without proper experience within the industry.

The facilities are great to use and the university never cheaps out when it comes to tech, seating, etc. This helps when you want get work done for hours at a time, as they also provide a cafu00e9 to make sure you can get something to eat. Lunch breaks can be quite hectic, as the seating eareas will go very quickly and it can be difficult to find somewhere to sit down. Despite this, I really enjoy how late you can stay in a classroom for as they don't close til 9PM and you can leave feeling like you accomplished lots of work for the day.

Cost of living is getting more and more unbearable each year. My parents cannot afford to support me for another one to two grand for a house in the city, as they were already helping to support me with my food costs. I am planning on commuting to my university for third year and my tutors have been my greatest support in helping me make this decision. I feel like I can depend more on my tutors than I can with the university's support programs, as one once was stepping in your shoes and the other is just doing their job. rn
