If you are picking chemistry as a course here you will really enjoy it. It's a lot of work but very interesting. You have to work hard for exams and be sure to keep on top of work. Advice I would give for getting a place is to show why you love the subject.

The chemistry building feels slightly dated and old. However, most of the chemical equipment is up to date and modern.

Too many handouts and not enough to do in lectures. For example, chemistry hand out all the slides with all the information already on them, therefore there is nothing to copy/write during the lecture and it makes it harder to focus.

I like the location of the halls, is extremely close to the university and very close to the centre of town. I dislike some of the facilities in the kitchen, for example no toaster was provided.
