I loved my time at University and would recommend it to everyone

Lots to do

The majority of Lecturers were interested in teaching their subject, although some of the French Lecturers were less than stellar

Albion House is well situated and comfortable

It’s a beautiful campus, the science buildings tend to be nicer. Provisions are good, as are support services. It’s a decent city with a good amount to do at night and day.

Very limited choice in East European Studies, which is probably due to it being a small department, but some of the modules are very specific. History has a lot of options which is nice, you can tailor it to what you like. History facilities are pretty basic, but fine, and Languages is a bit better. Good amount of contact time.

A decent location close to the city centre which is great for 1st year after your nights out you can walk home in a group. Close to a tram stop so easy to get to uni and near a Lidl and Sainsbury’s too. However, it was half built when we moved in and had so many issues. Cracked windows, building works for months, constant fire alarms, lack of running water for days, etc. The property manager promised us so many things to make up for it which they never delivered. Reception staff were lovely though. Maybe it’s okay now it’s finished being built.
