I’ve been here two months and am yet to have a bad experience with the university. The university is beautiful and the staff are all great, the accommodations are all close to university and in the city meaning there is access to nightlife.

All of my content is taught in person which I think is very beneficial for me and all content is accessible online for when I cannot attend in person.

There have been multiple fire alarms where the management have not been able to turn off alarms leaving us stuck outside (for 2 hours once). Maintenance have been fast acting despite the amount of technical problems since moving in here. The kitchen and en-suites are both good, however we did need a new fridge and there are plumbing issues as water does not drain and there is no hot water in the kitchen

The best is that the library is open 24/7 and most staff around uni are really lovely. I had a bad experience with a flatmate but thankfully this issue was solved quickly.

I love the creative writing lessons and the amount of freedom given with essays. For example, for one of my essays i’m allowed to submit my own poetry. I find Literature a little more difficult with the old style English used in most of the texts we study.

Really close to Uni and the city centre, it’s a pretty building and the scenery is nice. However I was given the smallest room and the only one without heating or a refurbished shower, but I’m still paying the same as everyone else in the flat. Our kitchen is also one of the smallest. I think you just get lucky if you get put in a nicer flat. I do think City Residence is one of the best halls, I just got unlucky.
