What students say about music-studies

I love going to the library and spending time studying there. I also love the lab work and the facilities that the labs have, the schedule is a bit busy, I prefer if we had classes a bit late so that I can spend some time in the morning revising what we've covered in lectures. The student union is cool too but would've preferred if it had more seatings available as I don't find places to sit most of the time.

What students say about music-studies

The university lacks greenery, despite being next to it's own park there's rarely greenery near campus. The university had prospects of a roof garden yet it's barren and dying and in an inopportune location to access. There's much more room for opportunity for a garden outside of the vegan "Vert café" on the sixth floor which is more likely to get volunteers from a community who focuses highly on greenery. The art building, despite being an art building, startling lacks art and colour. Aside from scarce photos the building feels very stagnant. The allowance of more murals (see the sixth floor's Game of Thrones mural for reference) would brighten the building up, as well as larger art on the outside as proposed in the newly released render of the new park layout. As a student who lacks roof access I cannot comment on whether the uni has renewable solutions for energy such as solar panels (though some are visible in BD for testing) but the inclusion of more renewables would be a very welcome sight.
