What factors made you finally settle on the course you chose?
I chose Herts as they had a diverse range of texts available that went outside of the usual ‘canon’ of English Literature. Texts range from the Renaissance, the Enlightenment period all the way up to current 21st Century Literature.
The libraries are amazing and always have books on hand to enrich your studies, especially when it comes to writing assignments – the library will become your second home – or third if you’re moving away from home!

Did you find a place to live easily?
I chose to stay at home and commute to the university as I lived close by. When applying through Clearing I was offered guaranteed accommodation multiple times by the university to ensure that I understood the option was there should I want it, right up until the start of my course.
Have you enjoyed your course and time at uni?
Having now finished my undergraduate degree, I can easily say I have enjoyed every moment of my course and time at Hertfordshire, from the lecturers to the course content I genuinely would not change a single thing about my experience.
Herts do as much as they can to get you involved in uni life; the on-campus gyms are affordable their facilities are amazing and there are even free classes on offer!
