The university has a safe and comfortable campus. The student union in particular is my favourite place to study because of its upbeat atmosphere and the staff are always so friendly and helpful. The student representatives and association members are passionate and their work enhances university life.

I enjoy the in-person lectures however the quality of teaching is extremely varied. There are modules within the course that are excellent and are taught by amazing lecturers that make the content approachable and work to give students a thorough understanding of the content. However there are also lecturers that leave concepts unexplained or stray completely off topic and modules with content that doesn’t have a clear purpose. This extreme variation in course quality is jarring and leaves students disengaged and disheartened.

The halls are far too expensive for what you’re getting. The rooms are uncomfortable and there is not a suitable amount of kitchen and fridge space for the amount of people using each kitchen. This encourages disputes among flatmates and brings an unpleasant atmosphere. My room was on the bottom floor beside the main entrance to the building and the lack of privacy made me constantly alert and extremely uncomfortable. The kitchens are poorly serviced with broken stoves and ovens taking weeks to repair. A highlight of the accommodation was the communal “treehouse” building which ran great events and was an enjoyable place to spend time in.

Very good.

Lecturers can be very poor.
