Find out what our students think

University of Plymouth caught my eye. Firstly, for its friendliness and openness of staff and secondly for its location within the city, which is perfect for studying and student life.

I would encourage international students to make the most of their time, by participating in events on campus and talking to their professors about any studying issues, and take advantage of the facilities.

I think this would be the best advice I can give anyone considering Plymouth: go with a really open mind-set. You only experience university once. Go for it, try new things and make new friends!
