What students say about comparative-literature

I adore the campus and I am proud to say that I have studied at Aberdeen. The support services are excellent and lecturers are generally excellent. However, there is not a lot going on round about the uni and transport links are not great in Aberdeen. The students union leaves a lot to be desired.

What students say about comparative-literature

Needs more study spaces for students especially during exam season. Also more lunch spots/microwaves etc are needed. I’d say the support available is alright, but I personally know that a few years ago the waitlist for therapy was 4 months, which forced me to go private. Gorgeous area in west end of Glasgow, with kelvingrove park right next to it. So many food spots and bars make it a great nightlife. So many societies too, something for everyone.

What students say about comparative-literature

Having a small student community allows you to know most of your classmates and helps when it comes to collaborating on work. As it is quite a small town and far from a train station it aimes times feels a bit isolated.
