I think the best part is that everything is in the same place so it makes it easy to get from place to place and the worst part would be getting to the uni in the morning as i need to drive on the A720 if there was a train or tram service directly to the uni that would be alot better than the busses that take too long

What students say about computer-science

I love the city in general. The University's libraries are good. with proper facilities that I can use, such as discussion rooms, computers, printers, even 3D printer! Some buildings look so old but in positive ways, make them look classic and cultured. However, in my own experience, some classrooms are a little bit aged. i mean, like some chairs are feel old, they are sometimes kind of wobbly, and some of them do not have enough leg room. Main library can be crowded when exam days come, but I think that is something that can not be avoided. i think it is good to add some space for classrooms or some like study hubs.
