What students say about microbiology

The SU seems really out of touch and dominated by 3rd year students who don't give one or are clinging to any form of relevance. People shouldn't run an SU to pad out their CV, they should actually care. Being in the SU cafe just feels like a walking billboard, the amount of harassment I receive from different people advertising things to me as I sit down is crazy.

What students say about microbiology

The university takes a long time to respond to claims. Also feedback is given back sparsely and it takes a long time to get back which makes it difficult to improve for future assignments. The labs are very nice and it is good that we are learning multiple different techniques. The student life and feel is also very nice. And even though there is limited study space on campus especially during exam time, if you get to the library early enough you will find a seat somewhere.
