I took a look at your artstation overall I would say it looks pretty average for student work. First thing that sticks out to me is the textures and material definition, what I mean by that is on https://www.artstation.com/artwork/mwXA8 that piece the wood and stone countertop  look very similar. I would probably go back and try to really push the materiel definition aka make sure wood looks like wood stone like stone metal like metal. You could try possibly using more ref when it comes time to texture different surfaces.  

I think overall https://www.artstation.com/artwork/RQvkD that is your strongest piece,but the interior shot of this one is not as good I think for that one you need to watch out for really flat textures that make it all look like one solid piece, when looking at this one all your textures look really muddy beside the pictures it just looks off to me. 

Whenever I go to work on something I always try to work Macro to Micro details in, so for the interior shot the floor try using getting large details in the texture then medium details then micro. This should help your textures not to look as muted as what they are currently. 

I think overall your modeling is pretty decent although I didn't see wireframe shots so can't be 100%. I think you should try spending more time on textures assets. 

I hope this helps man and I hope that didn't sound to harsh that wasn't my intention. 

Good luck make sure you keep trying to reach out on here there are plenty of amazing artist on here that can help you get better.
