Advantages: Small city, Easy to get around

Disadvantages: University is fairly run down

Everyones university experience is different and it is very hard to make comments as your feellings change. I know when I first moved to Derby I thought it was a lovely leafy town, and I thought the University was adequete enough. However after living in Derby for 4 years my view has become somewhat tainted.

I would say that the University of Derby has easy to work out campus's (Old Jackson & Mickleover, New Markeaton), each faculty/department is clearly defined.

Personally I found my lecturers to have sound knowledge and with all university most aspects of study is self orientated. For this I found the libarary resources very good and easy to navigate with a vast stack of disertations and reference books.

Socailly, Derby has some good sports and social networks which are easy to join. I found the Balls were always well organised by the Students Union and we had some great line ups (Editors/Pendulum...).

If you are after a university which is fairly self contained and located in a small city, Derby is a good choice. I also found the staff we very helpful when i wanted to change my degree to a totally new subject - alwyas good to know if you are a bit indescisive!

Summary: Not great but not terrible
