It is a nice small city, with a small but full campus. that is what attracted to me, the thought of everything being so accessible and close. It has certainly lived up to those expectations, now I think that the campus is perhaps too small and confined. However, that was the initial attraction. Everything is so easily accessible on foot and campus accommodation is great, there is also a large amount of places to live within a reasonable walking distance from campus. The student support is great, I used them a lot in my 2nd and 3rd years and they helped me out when I needed it. I think the union has gone downhill a lot since I started uni but Covid took a toll on a lot of places so hopefully it will bounce back soon.

The course itself and the lecturers are great, generally taught well and have enjoyed most of my classes. The lack of resources and opportunities surrounding the course is not the school itself fault but a lack of funding from the university. The cours is doing the best it can since cuts which have resulted in far less module options.

The city is small but very much a student a city and it accommodates well with places to eat offering student deals and everything being relatively cheap. There is somewhat of a lack of things to do, no cinema/bowling/ mini golf type activities in walking distance. But a short bus journey away! The buses are easy to navigate and reliable.

It was the best place I've lived in my four years. Felt safe at all times, it was warm, comfortable and secure. The rooms were all equal so nothing unfair, the en-suite bathrooms were a luxury that was greatly appreciated and the kitchen/living space was more than big enough.
