My first bit of advice is to bring a car! It is a wicked place to live with great beaches, surf potential and a fab, friendly atmosphere. Yes it can feel a little isolated but is also feels so homely here it really does not matter in the slightest. The nightlife obviously isn’t that of a city but there are enough cute bars and small gigs etc to keep us entertained, plus the ‘Stannary bar’ which is on campus hold pretty regular events and is always open for a drink or two.

I like that it’s a small campus in a small town as you get to know loads of people and always bump in to them whether you are out in town or just in the library. Living by the sea is amazing as there are so many fun things to do for free! It could be improved as now that Covid is basically over, I think eveything should be in person as it makes people more engaged and means that students have to come in allowing them to make more friends and get more out of their course

Lecturers are great and are always willing to help outside of lectures. Course content is broad and covers lots but module choice allows you to narrow down and specialise. Contact with tutors could be better as it would make students feel like they have someone to contact especially in first year as it is very daunting to contact lecturers for help

Location of halls is great as it is right on campus and close to all other first year accommodation. The rooms are big and clean on arrival and have nice en-suites. The kitchen is spacious and has enough storage for everyone in the flat but could be made more communal by adding sofas so it is a nicer environment to hang out in rather than to just cook and eat. They are also quite expensive for what they are so some people can’t afford it
