- Friendly and supportive lecturers who are easy to approach when I need help
- Well-structured course content that is easy to follow and practical
- Good library and study facilities available on campus
Dislikes
- Heavy coursework and tight deadlines during peak assessment periods
- Limited availability of quiet study spaces during exam season
- Some modules being more theory-focused than expected
Campus Life
- Campus life here is definitely more active than I expected. There’s usually something going on – cultural nights, international food events, tech talks, that sort of thing. I went to a Diwali event last semester and it was genuinely fun, seeing so many people from different countries come together for it.
- I joined a tech and coding club early on, mostly just to see what it was like, and I’ve stayed with it since. It’s been a good way to meet people outside my course and work on side projects without any pressure. There are also sports clubs and other interest groups if tech isn’t your thing.
- The career fairs are worth attending too. I went to one last term and actually had a proper conversation with a recruiter from a data consultancy, which I wasn’t expecting. Even if you don’t land anything immediately, it’s useful practice and you pick up on what companies are actually looking for.
Accommodation
- I decided to stay off-campus mainly because it was more affordable compared to university accommodation. I share an apartment with two other students, which helps split the rent and other expenses. Living off-campus also gives me a bit more flexibility in my daily routine. I can cook my own meals and manage my schedule according to my classes and part-time work.
- In the beginning it took some time to adjust to everything, but after a while it became comfortable and I actually enjoy the independence.
Likes
- The university maintains a robust and comprehensive academic curriculum, meticulously structured across all semesters.
- Furthermore, the institution offers extensive opportunities for students to engage in and excel through extracurricular pursuits, encompassing areas such as event management, athletic programs, theatrical leadership, and musical endeavors, among others.
- The university also operates a dedicated career portal, facilitating student access to employment and placement opportunities.
Dislikes
- My only reservation was the absence of on-campus recruitment during my time; however, I understand this aspect has since been addressed.
Campus Life
- The institution comprises two distinct campuses, each providing extensive facilities. Complimentary shuttle services are available to facilitate transportation between these two locations.
- Our sports and extracurricular programs are exceptional, featuring biannual tournaments. Furthermore, a diverse range of indoor and outdoor sports activities is offered throughout the year.
- We maintain two expansive libraries, offering a comprehensive collection that includes physical books, electronic resources, and advanced computer systems.
Accommodation
- University housing options are available and can be reserved with an upfront payment of £20. Alternatively, individuals may secure external accommodations through platforms such as SpareRoom and Facebook. While the monthly rental for university housing was comparatively higher, it encompassed comprehensive amenities, including a private en-suite bathroom, a communal kitchen, and full access to all campus facilities, such as common recreational areas and dining establishments. The monthly rental for university accommodations would be £800, whereas off-campus housing could be procured for approximately £500-£600, potentially involving shared bathroom and kitchen facilities.



Likes
- Supportive faculty and staff who encouraged growth
- Excellent career opportunities
- Vibrant Student life with leadership roles
Dislikes
- Expanding on-campus accommodation
- Providing greater flexibility in coursework deadlines
- Introducing more tailored career workshops for international students
Campus Life
- We have 2 campuses (De Havilland Campus & College Lane). There are well-equipped gyms, sports halls, a swimming pool, outdoor pitches, plus library facilities and student health and wellbeing services.
- On De Havilland Campus, there is HertSquad Sports Fair, as well as many sports & social clubs and student union events like "Welcome Fest", movie nights, games nights, etc. Students can join over 25 sports clubs, partake in arts & cultural events, SU-led clubs, and social mixers, fairs and wellness events.
Accommodation
- I looked for accommodation mainly through online platforms, the university housing portal, and student accommodation websites. The main challenge was the high demand and limited availability of on-campus housing.
- Start searching early before the semester begins, explore both on-campus and private housing, and always check reviews or consult with the university's accommodation team for safe and reliable options.







Dislikes
- Its all amazing, but if you expect that you gonna study with the British students then it will disappointing because all are international students. Its just indians, pakistanis and Nigerians.
Campus Life
- The campus life is just so much fun. They have got this body formed called UH RES LIFE; they look after each and every student's needs and requirements. All the events and engagement activities are arranged by them, and they are very well organized. You can directly email them about any concern you have during your stay at the campus and they revert and resolve the thing within 24 hours of reporting.
Accommodation
- Living on campus is expensive, while if you share a room outside campus, it can be as cheap as 350 per month, including bills.

- Professors were very helpful and would help with whenever you would need them.

Campus Life
- There are two campuses of the University of Hertfordshire.
- The University of Hertfordshire has a library (LRC), sports complex, church, medical centre, student support hub, and nightclub.
- The campus had loads of activities and clubs. It has multiple societies that you can apply to. It has multiple sports events as well.
- I can't answer much honestly here as I decided to move back to India but mostly 90 percent of students get placements after university. Average pay is GBP 29,000 per year.
- Students are typically advised to attend job fairs both online and offline along with applying on Gradcracker.
- Highest and lowest salaries cannot be declared as most students don't wish to discuss their salaries.






Likes
- My university’s infrastructure and way of teaching is really good.
- They are very good at labs for technical study and racing simulators that are open for all to try with.
- The cleanliness and opportunities for all people gives a faith in unity in diversity.
Dislikes
- The main dislike is its location that is situated far from any city center which makes it difficult to have lunch and travel to stations even though they have a variety of food options in campus it feels like we couldn’t try anything new.
- The bus service that runs by our uni called uno is the worst service in the country with heavy delays and few buses.
Campus Life
- My university has 2 campuses which are in the same location. There is a bus running between them every 10-15 mins.My university has a library on both campuses and has a cafeteria.
- There are sports facilities like football, tennis , badminton, hockey and much more. There is an onsite gym facility along with snookers and much more indoor games.
Accommodation
-
I opted for off campus as there is no opportunity to work around the campus and the rents in campus are high. The monthly rents and bills will be around 500£ for off campus and 700£ for in campus so I would prefer and advise you to choose off campus accommodation. But if somebody is not looking for any jobs and they want the comfort to stay near campus then in campus housing will be a good choice.

Campus Life

Accommodation
- To find my first accommodation I texted to people in what’s app groups got scammed once, then I found one genuine person and found accommodation they are charging way more than the actual room cost, then after few months me and my friends went to real estate agents and took a flat for ours and we are living in it right now, initially the accommodation are hard to find.
- My recommendation is to stay in University accommodation for one year or stay in Hatfield, my accommodation is 1hr away from college in bus, there are bus facility near to me

Likes
- The Infrastructure of the College which is very good as well as the destination or a place at where the University is.
- The staff of the University that is very well and giving you a good mentoring. Which is very much necessary.
- If there is any problem or problems arise between the students and teachers then we have a good student union which helps to resolve problems.
Dislikes
- Bus time management, as the display boards in the Bus Stations are usually displaying wrong timing for which people used to wait around an 1 hour, which is ridiculous.
- As they prefer more to go offline instead of Online, which is good but it is bad as well because there are so many students who come from far away in England.
- That’s all…
Campus Life
- As I am not a party guy nor a sport player but I do know that there are basically 2 Campus are there to whom I am familiar with, and both are in Hatfield. One is on College Lane and another is De Havilland.
- College Lane is most use for Science Students, for example, doc, engineer, arts and many more meanwhile, de Havilland for Business and Law. Both includes a big library section, CASE(Centre for Academic Skill Enhancement), a reception, sports ground, gym and many more.
Accommodation
- As per accommodation I am living with my father’s maternal Uncle’s son and his family here. So, I do not need to stay anywhere else, that’s true that my University is far from here around 1 hour 45 mins but it worth it.
- As in my rent I am paying for room as well as for the food as well my aunt prepares food for me. And in terms of rents, as a good relative they take less rent from me compared to others.

Campus Life
Life on campus is active, and friendly, and offers lots of opportunities. The university has good facilities like learning resource centres, many activities outside of class, and focuses on both learning and research.This helps me to grow personally and professionally. The wide campus provides what students need to do well in their academics. To be honest the facilities are really comfortable and easy to understand and available across the campus.
Accommodation
The accommodation facilities are available across/around the university. University accommodation options: Single room, Ensuite and Common kitchen - Starting from 500 GBP per month. Off-Campus Options: Housing contracts, Single and Double rooms - Starting from 450 GBP + Bills. Deposits are to be paid as per the agent policy.

Definitely, I enjoyed a lot in the university with friends and interacting with new people, it gives new experiences. For my studies, I always go to the library and I spend there at least 5-6 hours per day.
Accommodation
We will get accommodation easily and coming to rent, the rent is 300 pounds including bills but in some accommodations not included bills we need to pay electric, gas, and water bills as well and also we need to pay for accommodation.
