The University of Suffolk was founded on a bold vision for change. Unencumbered by tradition, we created a new kind of university, custom built for the modern world. One that is proud to be different and to challenge the status quo.

  I did not seek help with financial worries from the university as I did not think there were anything they could do to assist me

  Im in my final year so contact hours are at a minimum so that i can focus on my dissertation. However the teaching quality remains hugh with detailed feedback on all assignments and further help/feedback availa if. atutorial is requested. The course covers a wide range of topics and assignments allow me to fully develop and ‘show off’ my knowledge about a specific topic.

  Athena is great in general! I’ve been in other studen residences that aren’t affiliated with the uni and theyre not as good. While Athena is expensive generally it’s worth it as you rarely have to worry about anything. Occasionally if something requires maintenance it is resolved quickly, ive only had 3 big maintenance issues in 3 years that have taken longer than 4 days to fix but in all cases an alterna was found. Staff are helpful and even try to organise events in the residence for the amusement of residents.

  I decided to live away from students because majority of them are loud and are always partying. My friends living at the student accommodation are always complaining about the noise! I’m just about to move into a house on Hatfield Road, Ipswich. It’s approx a 20 min walk to uni and that’s perfect.
