It works really well. A tip to remember if you use the Internet from your phone, always log into the secure anglia wifi not guest. Guest forgets you and you have to re-login all the time, if you forget the guest (if you've logged into it once) but just use secure it will keep you logged in.

They may tell you about this during your induction but thought I'd mention it just in case

Why is the university such badly rated in the university tables. 107 out of 117? Something tells me the university is very poor and its putting me off going there and spending 8300 a year

Universities' positions in the Table inevitably reflect more than their performance over a single year. Many of those at the top have built their reputations and developed their expertise over many decades or even centuries, while some of those at the bottom are still carving out a niche in the unified higher education system. Perhaps the least surprising conclusions to be drawn from the Table are that Oxbridge and parts of the University of London remain the dominant forces in British higher education and that, on the measures adopted here, the newer universities still have ground to make up on the old. However, many of the latter have different priorities from those of any of their more established counterparts and can often demonstrate strengths in other areas.

Before I begin, I would like to make it absolutely clear that I am not attacking the quoted poster directly, but rather criticising his observations. If my post below sounds aggressive, then I send my apologies, I'm still learning to make my actual intentions clear.

Basing it off of a single table does not necessarily reflect the full on experience - what are you basing these ratings on? The actual course you're applying for? The personal opinion of students and their experiences? The support teams? Etc. ?

Furthermore, these sorts of comments without actually stating your source can be considered scaremongering for other students seeking information. If you want to be taken seriously, you should post your evidence supporting your line of argument.


For what it's worth, I'd say Anglia Ruskin for my personal circumstances has been a saving grace - I might therefore sound biased, but I only had positive experiences with Student Support so far, as well as just the general layout of the place. Of course my opinion may very well change come the next few weeks when the term begins, but I would rather use my empirical observations than base it upon a single source of data.


Please, back up your argument.

Having had a look, I can assume you're basing your single bit of research from this, in which I suggest reading the actual criteria. More specifically, the following quote I found:



Anglia Ruskin has only really had University status for the amount of years I've been alive (1992, so 19 years, 20 this year), whereas the more highly ranked ones will be more established and thus have had more data to collect over the years. Your arguments would be more valid if you compared ARU at the same age as some of the more established ones.

Furthermore, these sorts of comments without actually stating your source can be considered scaremongering for other students seeking information. If you want to be taken seriously, you should post using a wide range of evidence supporting your line of argument.

And thank you for your comment because that is what I wanted to hear. As there are so many people that turn their nose up at ex polys

Knowledge is power, irregardless of its source.

Glad to know that you share my view of not giving too much care for the background of a university.
