Is it easy to get into?

I've heard some negative things about it...

For those who attend, do you like it?

Haven't found anything wrong with it, tbh.

If you are trying to cause trouble, don't. These kinds of threads have popped up over and over and over again and it achieves nothing.

However, if you are asking for a genuine reason - it would help to know what course and/or campus you would be most interested in finding out about as people's opinions and the uni's qualities vary significantly depending on the college, school, campus, mode of enrolment and stage of your degree etc

I personally didn't really like it.
Transferring out next semester.
That said, it's not a bad university.
The quality of the majority of my lecturers and tutors was pretty decent, the subjects I did were pretty good.
There was the odd tutor here and there who wasn't great, but that's to be expected at any university.

The travelling got a bit annoying sometimes as it's further from my house than the city universities, I had some evening/night classes and found train times an issue with these (waiting alone on Macarthur station from 9 pm until 9.30 pm in the middle of winter is not fun).

My main mistake was choosing the BBC over Arts, for the sole reason that it meant that I could have one campus. If Arts & Law were offered on the same campus I might have been less inclined to leave.

^ Sad to hear you're transferring, but enjoy Notre Dame. I have a mate there who absolutely loves the place.

I've had a really good experience at UWS so far. Haven't run into any awful lecturers or tutors and I find the admin (enrolling in classes especially) very user friendly. I have friends doing the same degree elsewhere who have comparable classes to me with the same subjects covered. The travelling is a large factor for me as well, my campus is a hour and ten minute drive, but it'd be well over two hours on a train to the city for me.

The main issue I have is facing the UWS stigma, but the criticism has always been from people who wouldn't know a good university to the rear end of a donkey and chose where to go because of the 'pretty buildings' or social life, not the strength of the individual schools they were studying in.
