The Creative Writing department is amazing. The extra opportunities and activities available are brilliant. However, the uni feels dominated by students from very privileged backgrounds and a lot of the student culture involves high levels of classism, racism, and ableism.

The content of the English department modules often feels very outdated. It is dominated by colonial texts with little acknowledgement of multicultural writers or international influences on contemporary British writers. There is little contact time but this is substituted with reading material.

I feel supported as a student with accommodation requirements. The maintenance team are usually very responsive and the reception team are great. I do think we deserve compensation for issues that occur in the building though.
