I wouldn't change my university experience at all. My first year was the best year of my life - studying my favourite subject and meeting the most incredible group of people (5 of which I'm delighted to live with now in my second year). Plus, the independence has really been both a liberating and learning curb experience as I thrive off of living and cooking by myself but at the same time I miss my family and friends and the comforts of home. However, it's an experience that has to happen in order to prepare myself for the rest of my life.

The university's careers team offer a great range of support to help with CV development, workplace skills enhancement and they even offer mock interviews.

On my course, although there's authority among lecturers to an extent, during seminars and classes it feels as thought they're your colleagues and we work with them to have an in depth and inspiring discussion.

As one of only 3 unions in the country to offer all sports and societies free, it was so easy to join clubs. Also, the union's range of events vary from comedy nights, themed club nights, quiz/karaoke events and special guests (Chuckle brothers, Example, Professor Green) are a great way to meet new people and enjoy the social aspect of uni away from studies.

It's so much fun living with friends I met from first year. The quality of the house is great, 6 double bed rooms, 2 bathrooms and a good size kitchen/lounge area for us to cook, chill and host parties together.

The facilities for the English course mainly revolves around the great library online system. We can easily locate texts and journal articles to help with our studies.

The town center offers a lovely range of cafe's and take-out's plus a large shopping mall.

I joined the tennis society and it was great to meet like minded people and people that share the same passion as me.

Staff are always on hand to answer questions and offer one on one sessions for both social and academic purposes. They're all so approachable and friendly and always respond quickly to emails.

It has been amazing. I met my best friend here. My lecturers are always helpful. They are very approachable. You can talk to them about the course or even personal things.

The lecturers are always helpful.

Nice
