Best is definitely meeting students from all different walks of life and getting to know people. The facilities and library are great, and the lecturers are lovely and so helpful. It’s definitely quite far away from everything but good if you’re looking for a uni experience that’s different to what you’ve gone through before.

Our classes are all taught in person, with lecturers who are very interesting and happy to help us learn. As we are such a small course, the teaching is very personalised and the lecturers are always around to answer questions. We have a lot of course hours, normally over 10 a week, with practicals and field trips every week to various farms, and other experiences. Our facilities are great, our vet building is one of the most up to date in the country

It was a good way to meet people and good value for money

Great fellow students and atmosphere with so much to do for such a small town. There is something for everybody! However, the school is located on top of a very high hill while town and any pubs are downhill, making it a hassle to travel between them. The lecturers are alright, though I personally struggle with the shorter lecture times and lack of direct contact with lecturers / large class sizes. The practicals are much more hands on and high quality, though the assignments and expected outside studyis more hands off and self directed. As someone used to lots of homework and access to tutors (something I feel the uni has a lack of or at least does not advertise well), this has been a difficult adjustment for me. The international staff team is kind and responsive (unless you're e-mailing from the states, in which responses can be up to 2 weeks apart), though the university doesn't provide nearly enough amenities or specialized support to warrant charging international students double the tuition of UK national students.

I get free accommodation as an international student and have no issues with my building, except that there is not nearly enough room in two tiny fridges and freezers for the nine people in my flat. It is close to all my classrooms (within 10 minutes max) and a (expensive) convenience store, though grocery services are only in town. There are good options for delivery, though.
