Small class sizes lots of helpful one to one time with tutors. Worst part would be limited resources online such as access to journal articles.

The community aspect and lovely view from my window. Least was the tiny kitchen especially when they replaced the old broken fridge and left the old one so we had 2 giant fridges to navigate around in the tiny kitchen.

The university and accommodation are within the same campus, creating a more tight knit university-life balance with the opportunities to go to the Student Union or other university based events with your flat mates and/or course mates with it being so easily accessible to all. Though I attended university during Covid-19, the university-life balance was focused on heavily to support new starters in any means needed; restrictions were in place but you were never alone. Studying at the university has many perks; continuous support from lecturers whenever required even if seems silly, plenty of study areas and equipment (laptops, labs, drones etc), library services being central and the ability to work alone or within groups. Lectures are passionate about the topics being taught, they engage with you and maintain a high level of academic standards whilst challenging you to push yourself without it becoming pressured. It terms of "worse aspects", Covid-19 played a part in this as trips were cancelled, lectures were moved online and some of the bonds you would typically make early on in first year were harder to create. University itself is a challenging academic period, and the build up to this isn't always 100% met, as sometimes the expectation to adapt from A-Levels was just presumed without some guidance. It would be beneficial to have 'tutorials' in what university standards are, how it is different to A-Levels with work examples etc to aid that shift.

Geography is classed as a physical subject, so even during Covid-19, we were able to have some of our lectures in-person. When online (and for me this was during my first year), it was challenging in some ways as adapting to university standard work and material was harder to do as everything was online. Lecturers did try and connect with all during online and in-person lecturers as everything was new to us yet also new to them, with restrictions as well. Course hours have maintained around the same for the 3 years, between 12-16 hours which seemed small but once starting to receive assessments and maintain a balance between subjects, it was enough. Lecturers are always available to contact as and when needed, regardless of what it is and will aid as best as they can, even offering teams meetings or in-person tutorials etc. The only "worst aspect" would be lecturers having different views and stances on things relating to teaching styles, grading etc. It can make it hard as you have to adapt continuously for who you are speaking to, submitting work etc and can create fluctuations with grading

The halls are located within a few minutes from the lecture buildings, study areas, student union and other facilities. Speaking personally from en-suite rooms, they room/bathroom sizes were spacious with everything you could need; bed, desk, wardrobe, drawers, mirrors, pin boards, shower, sink and toilet. The communal kitchen was again spacious with plenty of storage and seating space, without the feeling of being cramped. The value for money was worth it when I lived in the accommodation, thought it can be seen as pricey by others, especially as you have to also pay to use the washing machines and tumble dryers and parking - this could be improved or reduced as student finance fluctuates
