University of Manchester

There is a range of societies available to students and constant events held by the student union ensure an endless stream of entertainment if you wanted it. They are very active on social media and are constantly working with students to represent their issues to the university. Truly, I can't find any fault with the student union. I do not drink and am unable to say much in the way of bars, clubs or pubs, however there are plenty of things to do and events held that do not involve drinking at all.

The support is there if you were to need it and is clearly signposted by faculty in lectures and around the university. There is a sense of approachability about the year academic lead who makes sure to communicate with students every week about any developments. The lecturers seem happy to answer any queries in and out of lectures. Welfare-wise, there is an on campus therapy service that is free of charge is someone wanted to use it.

Study centres and libraries are almost always full which makes trying to find spaces to actually study quite difficult. However, the facilities available are fantastic.

While the University boasts a lot of infrastructure in place to help its students, in reality this support is incredibly difficult to navigate. Staff are confused, people are constantly being redirected from one place to another when in need of administrative support which is unnecessarily unhelpful when trying to navigate University life. Online materials are found in folders, folders and more subfolders, making it a chore to find a simple paper to read. The staff are excellent though, incredibly insightful in their comments and always ready to help where necessary. These are flaws of the university itself which has founded itself on an image of academic research and prosperity, whilst making it increasingly frustrating and overwhelming for students to try and implement this themselves. The institution of the university needs fundamental changes to be made.
