The Penryn campus feels like my home now after years of studying there. It has a great sense of community, there are always activities to get involved with and the academics are world-class.
The Zoology course is brilliant and I have enjoyed nearly all aspects of it. You get to go on amazing field courses, learn from a myriad of academics and develop employability skills.
The university still unfortunately does not always listen to the views of their students and the student union often hinders the societies on campus.
Overall, a great uni with a few kinks that need ironing out.

What do you think about the safety, condition, location and cost of your accommodation?
Great starting accommodation that encourages students to get to know one another. The wifi and facilities are good with free utilities but this is reflected in the high cost.
