Always something different taking place for students to participate in and meet new people. Cafe offering hot food cheap and convenient for in between classes in the morning/ afternoon. Unfortunately little travel to/from Jordanstown for extracurriculars

What students say about social-studies

My university is small and friendly which I love. Everyone is looking out for each other and there’s plenty of activities to keep you occupied. The teachers and staff are very supportive of our studies, if we have any questions they are keen to answer. The only downside Id say is if you are travelling to university each day and don’t own a car, the nearest train station is a 30 minute walk. It sometimes leaves people in a rush.

What students say about social-studies

Overall, my university experience has been positive. The campus has a welcoming atmosphere and offers plenty of opportunities to get involved through societies and events. However, communication could be improved, particularly around assessment information.
