The process following plagiarism accusations is very formal and daunting. I received no university support other than my PAT despite this being a very stressful experience. the letters are written in a legal like manner and are hard to understand. I received no information before my meeting and had to wait two weeks in extreme stress before a resolution despite my lecturer saying he did not believe I used AI in the meeting.

best aspects are probably student life and societies, worst aspects are probably lectures not uploading slides on time or not updating blackboard in a timely manner

It's lovely, a little run down here and there but they offer loads of activities and the student union is the best I've ever seen

I think students and stuff in the uni are very friendly and inclusive and I love activities. Sometimes the bus here is not enough.

The campus is lovely and there's a great range of societies and events to get involved in. Plus, the city is pretty good too. There's lots of places to study and it's never too busy as well.
