Pharmacology and Drug Discovery

University of East Anglia UEA

Best aspects is making friends at all the clubs and societies that I have joined. Worst aspects of university is how the cost of living is affecting how I can enjoy my personal life at university. Uni has lovely places to study and enjoy the nature, but the cost of living doesn’t let me enjoy it as much as stuff has become more expensive slightly making me worry as a student, especially with no job to help further support me and other finances I may have.

I’ve really enjoyed my time here. The campus is massive and is built I’ve a beautiful landscape. it’s in a city that’s relatively small so everything is near you. Student life is good people here are very chill but inside they played better music in the popular clubs.support is given but you have to really struggle to get it which is not great. The facilities are very well equipped and taken care off. There is always technical support if something goes wrong. If you do sciences you will love the labs.

The best is highly natural surrounding of the campus - lake, forests, fields, a lot of animals everywhere. Amazing, picturesque environment with a lot of outdoors activities and place to walk. Research facilities in the field of science are one of the greatest in the UK. You receive all you need to successfully complete your research in chemistry, pharmacy, biology, etc., as well as help in managing the equipment. Drawbacks concerns student accomodation. Some rooms' aspects interfere with comfortable everyday activities, e.g. always closing fire doors, out of order lifts, safety locks on windows (imagine to live there in summer), inability to access the hoover due to the safety reasons (it will surely suck you in!), absence of 24/7 working medical emergency unit (if the accident happen at the weekend, you will have to take a taxi to the hospital, though the university emergency team will help you with quick first help). Good side of accommodation is noise-proof (except from noisy drunk students, who you can hear from windows).

I'm in my final year and I've had a great experience, especially as an international student. I was able to find friends for life if and I was able to learn valuable skills throughout my course.

It's been great. Course is interesting and the uni is a good place to be. I did have issues with the way resits and appeals were handled. There was a lot of confusion and multiple people told me different things.
