The university's amazing for providing students with a great student experience in that they have great facilities and such a range of extracurricular activities to get involved with as well as so much support, should you need it. The only real downside for me is that all of my lectures are on Jubilee Campus and it's not a convenient location for me as I live in Broadgate Park which is on the opposite side of the main campus to Jubilee. Therefore, it's quite a walk to get to Jubilee from where I live and even though I mainly take the hopper bus, it still takes a while and feels inconvenient when getting this bus because a lot of the time it takes just as long to get the bus as it does to walk.

The foundation course is good and I found most modules were taught well, but I, personally, really struggled with the computing/matlab module in the first semester, mainly due to the fact that I'd had no real experience with programming before and it felt a bit like getting thrown into the deep end with this module, but I still managed to do well in it and got all coursework completed to the best of my ability thanks to help given to me by the teaching staff.

Broadgate Park is pretty good as far as student accommodation goes, but I've had a few problems such as: not being able to access ethernet in my room, the wifi being really slow at times and management seems to be really slow when it comes to fixing appliances in my flat, an example of which being that we had one of our two showers taken out for repairs a couple weeks before Christmas and it still hasn't been fixed now and it's nearly February. This really isn't great as there's 7 people that live in my flat and it's not exactly ideal to share one shower between 7 people.

+ great uni campus, look and feel + perfect student city too - study spaces can get really busy during exam periods

interesting course, strike action impacts a lot of teaching though

great 1st year halls
