ApplicaaOne Student Review Community Guidelines

Who can review?

 

To keep reviews credible and relevant, only legitimate students and recent alumni can share their experiences.

• Current Students: Enrolled within the last 24 months
• Recent Alumni: Graduated within the last 3 years

These must have:

• Verified email address
• Self confirmation of school attendance

 

How to share responsibly

Do:

• Be specific: "The maths clinic sessions helped me improve from grade from a C to B.”

• Share solutions: "When I struggled with deadlines, the my tutor helped me create a study schedule."

• Balance perspectives: Trying to include both positives and areas for improvement

• Focus on experiences: Write about interactions that stand out and the outcome
• Be respectful: Judge experiences, not people.

Don't:

• Personally attack: Never target individuals by name or description

• Respond Emotionally: Take time to reflect, don’t post in the heat of the moment

• Be offensive: No hate speech, discrimination, or threats
• Spread misinformation: Don't exaggerate or fabricate experiences

• Share private information: About yourself or others - this includes:

  • Full names of students or staff
  • Phone, email, address
  • Social media handles or usernames
  • Student ID numbers or grades
  • Financial information
  • Sensitive information

 

Writing quality standards

 

Use the CLEAR framework to structure your review so it’s helpful, balanced, and easy to follow:

C - Context: When you attended and what subjects you studied

L - Learning outcomes: What you achieved and grades gained 

E - Experiences: Specific interactions with staff, support services and facilities

A - Areas for growth: Constructive suggestions for improvement 

R - Recommendation: Your overall assessment

Share your experiences in a professional, constructive, and empathetic way, offering helpful insights and solutions, for example:

❌ "This teacher is terrible at teaching."

✅ "I found the lecture style challenging to follow and would have benefited from more interactive examples."

❌ "The food is bad."
✅ "The dining hall has limited healthy options, especially for students with dietary restrictions."

❌ "Everyone hates this class."
✅ "Many students in my year found the workload challenging to balance with other courses."
