  The structure is a bit unstable as they have been restructuring the course while I've been studying at Trent. It can be quite frustrating. Teaching quality is often very good but there are definitely some problems. Feedback is often disappointing and not useful from a couple of the tutors. The make aspect of the course is taught better, the feedback is better. The design part of the course has more problems.

  I live near the Forest Recreation Grounds, about a 10 min walk from uni. A tram stop is a couple of minutes away from my house which goes straight to the uni and city centre. There is an asda about 5-10 mins away (walking). Generally a good place to live but it's not the nicest part of Nottingham.

  Course
  
  Wide range of modules in terms of the very different things we learn about, which is great. Teaching quality is high from a number of lecturers/ seminar leaders. This year with it being split into 2 semesters, the course has seemed less organised, as we had a bundle of work due in over christmas and it's been very straightforward with no work ever since. Feedback is often good but occasionally is lazy.
