The University of Sunderland has been a wonderful place so far. I've met a lot of new people from all over the world and have created some good friendships. The one thing that can be improved is to have more transportation facilities for the students as the North East buses are on strike. The limited pink bus schedule has been difficult as my classes end at 9.00 pm and I have to take the metro late at night.

My course has been amazing and I have felt very welcomed as an international student. The lecturers have been great and I have learned so much new information from them during and after class hours.

Clanny house is a good accommodation for the price it is offered. There are some things that can be made better such as the carpets in the room. Some rooms have quite old carpets and it would be great if they could be changed out before the student arrives.
