Leeds Arts Univerity is small in size, meaning there are few noteworthy Student Unions in comparison to UoL, but does feel welcoming and safe. The university's student support is freindly and helpful from what I experienced; LAU is a very inclusive organisation and does strive to support students with a variety of services available. The campus is a little dull looking, with few spaces looking vibrant in contrast to the many white/grey hallways. I was able to use the Film/Photography course's cameras as a Music student, however the university's facilities seem somewhat limited as a whole, with spaces and equipment scarce close to submission time.

BCUIC is located in the centre of Birmingham, the UK’s second-largest city, giving students access to a vibrant, dynamic urban environment. The cost of living — especially rent — tends to be significantly lower than in London, which can make a substantial difference if you’re budgeting for studying in the UK BCU (and by extension BCUIC) has strong offerings in creative subjects (art, design, media, fashion, etc.) as well as more traditional academic and professional courses — making it possible to suit many different interests.

Living in the UWE Student Village has been a really good experience overall. The location is excellent, right on the Frenchay campus, which makes it easy to get to lectures and other university facilities. The flats have a friendly and social atmosphere, making it a great place to meet new people, especially in my first year. The rooms are a good size, and the accommodation feels safe and well-managed. The only downside is that the internet connection can be slow during busy times.

In herts you will experience multicultural society where you grt chance to interact with each other everyone is so friendly. The only worst experience i am having is timetable and class timing in uk every uni has 2 to 3 days classes and mostly online but here we have 4 days physical classes that really is difficult for majority of students other than uni of herts 10/10❤️🫶🏻
