The University
Overall Opinions
You can use this section to offer your overall opinions on the university. What one main thing would you like to highlight to future applicants?
UEA is a really friendly campus, very much a community of students. The fact that you have 'the square' which has loads of cafes and restaurants, shops including a post office, food shop, Waterstones and two banks makes it feel like a little town and if you live on campus in your first year it's only a five minute walk away. The students union has a nice cafe bar upstairs and two bars downstairs, so lots of space! UEA is a bustling campus with some traditional buildings and some new and modern ones, but it's also surrounded by lots of green spaces and a lake which is great to explore and chill out near in the summer.
The students union also offers so much to students, including societies, clubs, volunteering and campaigning loads of extra things to get involved in to make you stand out from the rest. It's also a great way to meet people although it sounds cliche you start to meet networks of people and you can have a really diverse experience.
The teaching standard is really high at UEA, lecturers are committed to their work and to their students. Each student is assigned an 'Academic Advisor' who will be there for them throughout their three years at university. They can go to them for help with studying and assignments, or any aspect of their student life. UEA is part of the 1994 group of research intensive university which means they pioneer in research and top quality teaching.
