Petition for Nursing and Midwifery Students to Remain on Main Campus for Lectures

Students should be studying in the campus.

I really hope that this gets the attention required! I fully support this petition and it is incredibly unfair for students.

Extremely disappointed in the news of having to move bases. Speaking for the whole 2021 cohort, we were sold a dream that we would be based in the ‘new medical and ahp building’. This did influence many of us decision in choosing the University of Leicester. The change in bases will affect many of us as we have only just settled in to a new campus which we expected to be our new home for four years, but then being told we are being shipped off elsewhere has disheartened many of us! Being based near the campus will allow us to access University Facilities which we are paying £9,000 a year for… not being based on campus will effect our education as we will all lack motivation, not accessing facilities will lack us in utilising the facilities to aid our grades! Once again, extremely disappointed that the nurses and midwives are being moved off campus.

I strongly believe that we should remain at the university for lectures.

Please have lectures in tge campus thank you. Please value the student university/campus life

I specifically signed up for this course because I was promised a full student experience (on the main campus) which was what I wanted. Moving off campus means I won't be able to easily access the library (which I go to after lectures every day), the student union or can go swimming before lectures either. I can also park for free across on the other side of Vicky Park, but it will cost me a fortune parking at the LRI for lectures. Furthermore, we weren't even consulted about this move. This flagrant disregard for even consulting us over our needs shows a total lack of regard for our rights as students.

An addition the university stipulates that any changes will be discussed and announced with students with the ability to consult and oppose changes - we are yet to have any official notification from the university of this change, and none of the students or faculty were consulted before the decision to move had already been decided by upper management.

This is so disappointing. I picked this uni specifically for the facilities at the GDC and now we are being pushed out. It feels like they just lied to us to get us to enroll.

I agree

The nursing course is advertised as based at the George Davis centre’ I have never as yet attended a lecture there.
