I’ve never had to use the student support services but I’m well aware of them if I ever need them

All my teachers have really pushed me to improve and practise my languages.
I’m not really aware of many internships but as I’m only in 1st year, this doesn’t really impact me.
One of my lectures doesn’t have office hours, and meetings are by appointment only, but then never really replies to emails.

University halls
What do you think about the safety, condition, location and cost of your accommodation?
I like how the halls are on campus and LT is in a nice location because it’s not in a place where everyone passes it so it’s not too noisy, most of the time.
There used to be security in the halls at night but I don’t know why they’re not there anymore.
Random room allocation is good, I like where mine is because it’s in a quiet corridor and opposite my kitchen so I can see if there is anyone in there.
The wifi can be quite temperamental, and cute out sometimes.
It’s seems quite a steep price to pay for what I’ve got but it’s okay.
