Best: cheap, great nightlife Worst: not the best societies and SU

Best: great teaching and lab facilities Worst: no contact time with tutors

Best: range of affordability Worst: other students

Great place for the atmosphere alone, the staff are all really motivated to help and make sure you get the best of your time in university, and their gender neutral facilities make it easy for me as a trans student to remain comfortable while studying here. Lectures are generally well communicated, but the campus and SU emails sometimes get defaulted to spam, making it difficult to really keep posted on what goes on in the context of social events.

Lecturers are available throughout the periods of time they have to both teach and work alongside you in the workshops. While contact hours may appear considerably smaller than what people are used to, the independent study resources are beyond helpful, and can make recommended course hours feel more like an overestimate at times.
