16. Student Satisfaction with NTU

17. 93% of students fairly or very satisfied with the experience so far Best things = meeting new people, starting new course, independence

19. There is higher satisfaction with the sport sessions, SU night club events, evening activities, Sunday trips, language taster sessions and events for international students.

20. The events which did not reach gold standard satisfaction were Sunday Fundays, halls bbq, Saturday antics, welcome to NTU, freshers’ fair and the evening meeting place for students not in halls.*=warning, very low base size (<40)

21. Range of events and ways to improve Welcome Week 84% of students thought the range of events on offer during Welcome Week were “good” (36%) or “very good” (48%). (This was 84% in 2009). All students were asked how Welcome Week could be improved… Every student in the uni should know about all the events that are taking place, and should be reminded every day by text message Better organisation for Saturday antics, there weren't enough buses and it was unclear how to sign up and where everything was going on and at what time. Advertise daytime events more - you read about all the events in the booklet and then forget about them when you get here In private halls there should have had better day time activities. I was unaware that things were going on apart from evening activities More activities for Brackenhurst (* also lots of comments for mature and local students) Evening events start way too early! Freshers reps for people living at home so we know what’s going on Have freshers fair over two days Having your induction lectures on a separate week to the social and evening activities, as there were lots of clashes More “non-drinking activities”, like ice skating, bowling, go-karting and quad-biking People not in halls weren’t told or included when union nights were fancy dress. We would attend the normal club events to find that we were the only ones not in fancy dress.
