What students say about linguistics

The university is a bit far out from the city centre, so the reliance on public transport to get a food shop or go out is quite heavy, and that can add up. The on-campus facilities are quite expensive but we have to make do based upon the location. The disabilites team are fantastic, they listen to the student and implement things that actually help. The activities that the student union put on are more catered to freshers and undergraduates, and so its ahrder to make friends and have a social life, especially as a masters student.

What students say about linguistics

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.
