What is the university of Herfordshire really like?

omg i am literally in the exact same situation as you. i went through clearing and got two choices and ended up going with herts. i didn't really like the area either, but I guess its not too difficult to get the train to london (and if you get a travel card its really cheap too) and then theres st.albans and wellyn garden city. im the same, i wanted to retake aswell but my college didn't allow it. so yeah also 'keep moving forward' ha. i went to the clearing day but i didn't see the lecture theatres that well (we got showed one in the atrium but the lights weren't turned on so i didn't see much of that lol

thanks lilnykci. thats what i was thinking would happen. I went round the galleria after the open day, I liked that when you walk closer in to the cinema you can smell popcorn lol! and then I checked out st.albans and it seemed nice sort of like winchester if you've ever been there?. to be honest, no complaints with being close to london, where I live now is really far away from it!!

can i ask some more questions?
do you think hatfield is a ok area? what kind of vibe does the university have (like the vibe of the students, the staff and the area)?? and is there like part job oppotunities? thank you !!

Just wondering, what travel card is best to get to London and how far are the campuses to the railway stations ?

I don't know about the travel card I'm afraid, but if you're planning to go to London a lot I would recommend a 16-25 railcard, has saved me so much money on train fares.

The train station is 15 mins or so on a bus, or like a 5/6 min drive (don't know exactly for college lane, but it won't be that different). Though there is a local taxi company which will do almost any journey from Hatfield - Hatfield for £3.50, which could also be an option. I did have a house mate who would walk to the station every time he was going to work, but I normally just pay the 3.50.
