HELL NO

After spending my foundation year at Wolverhampton, this is my honest opinion and insight into my experience at the Walsall campus. There have been more negatives this year, with the canteen being the worst—the prices and portions definitely aren't worth it!In short, the FY has wrecked my mental health and my aspiration of even going towards the healthcare field. I recommend avoiding this university at all costs! The support is awful, with many lecturers barely meeting the 3-hour lesson time, rushing the content to get through and finish within half the lesson time, and the lack of professionalism displayed is horrible. I can't even begin to speak about the tech issues; this was before the cyber attack!! There have been lecturers joking around about meeting in the car park and sorting out any 'issues' there, not marking according to the rubric, bullying and pressuring students to speak. One lecturer who taught my group for many semesters said that if people in the class can't contribute, they should not be on this course!There are still positives, like the people I have met on the way, but fair warning that some people are awful. I have a friend who was in a group where such awful drama and bullying were occurring among the students. The lecturers are incredibly biased, favoring students over others, and help is barely given. Two lecturers have given their all, but the rest have just been awful.I have asked for a reference for UCAS but unfortunately I was refused by the academic coach there so have to suffer in this hell for three years.I wish you all the best in your applications!
