What do you dislike about Hull?

The only thing I don't like about it is the traffic going into the centre

All student areas are prone to burglaries no matter what city it is. A lot of them are down to the students themselves who seem to have a tendency to leave doors and windows unlocked and open making the job easy for the burglars.

As another student has posted above, Im transferring to a diff uni in sept after studying Biology Bsc for a year here at Hull. Im local and have lived here all my life, so decided to stay here and go to the local uni as it was financially beneficial. I hate it, its really unorganised, iv had nothing but bother all year. Im a disabled student, and despite the uni getting 25k off DSA to put help in place for me, iv had no notetaker all year, luckily managed to pass my exams despite having no notes with the aid of a dictaphone and borrowing from friends. Disabled services have passed the buck to the disabled advisor at the school im in ( biological sciences) and she passes it back to them, both blaming each other. My lectures are sometimes 9-10, then nothing until 4-5, so im hanging about all day then when you turn up for the afternoon they will have put a note on the door saying its cancelled. Most annoying!....quality for money is appaling. Lectures consist of them reading it word for word from a powerpoint which is uploaded prior to the internet learning site Ebridge. You could just stay home in the comfort of your own house and read it off there yourself and not bother turning up. No interactive learning, Q&A sessions ect.

Thats is quite the opposite to the experience myself and my fellow history students have had from our department. It does seem some departments are a lot better than others and I feel lucky that history is easily one of the best ones at the uni. I did a free elective last year in the languages department and while I really enjoyed it, it was nowhere near as organised as the history modules and hardly anything was ever put on e-bridge.

I'm no closer to deciding where to go, so clutching at straws here

Have you made a formal complaint?

Hi Ebuwa,

Yes, I made a formal complaint with both disability services and the head of my school. Head of school basically said thanks for letting him know of the situation and he would speak to the school's disability advisor about my situation and I should meet with her at the start of next term to see if anything had changed. The head of disability services apologised profusely and blamed it on several members of staff leaving and having no replacements to sort assistance out for me. He is adamant they will have a reliable note taker in place for me at the start of term. I have no confidence this will be the case as I have heard this at the start of each term last year and still nothing sorted!
