Not too busy it’s a smaller uni so you feel more valued. Not much to be improved WiFi could be slightly better in some places.

I attended this university for my undergraduate degree over a decade ago, and I cherished my experience then just as much as I do now. Currently, I find myself in a different phase of life as a mature student with a young family. Nevertheless, I believe that the student experience and facilities continue to meet my needs, even as they differ from those I had during my undergraduate studies. Across all campuses, the staff are exceptionally friendly and welcoming. The environment is clean and well-maintained, fostering a strong sense of pride among both students and staff. Overall, the university feels safe and inclusive. I wouldn't say there is a worst aspect of my university experience, as I feel it meets my expectations at this stage in my career and life.

It has been a fun and proper learning process. I am glad I came to this uni. I would recommend it to other people starting uni next year. The housing has not always been so pleasant but I hope it is improving in the University halls.

Everything is great. Lectures, lecturers, the campus is very clean, students are nice. Just one thing I dislike is that the multifaith room/prayer room is situated so far away 30 mins walking that by the time you get there, do your thing and come back the lectures are over. I've asked multiple times for inclusion and have gone to the student union to have a prayer room on the main campus but my voice is not being heard. They do have disabled toilets, lifts, mixed gender toilets, but inclusion is for everyone. That's my only grief at this university otherwise everything else is impeccable.
