From The Student Room

Our University Guides are written by students currently at university themselves who are in the best position to say what life as a student at a particular university is really like!

Below is our index of most of the larger institutions (around 130) in the UK, in each case you'll find a link to the institutes student guide page, a link to their discussion forum on The Student Room, the institute UCAS code, and info of broadly where the uni is.

If your college or university is not on the list, please feel free to start up a new guide and we can add it.
