Tell us about your overall university experience so far.
I had a blast, if I could do it again I would. Learned so much from each and every lecturer. The environment is made for learning without the pressure of timelines. I feel enriched by it. The Heriot Watt Scottish borders is one of my favorite places to be, surrounded by beautiful mountains and small towns with direct access to many stunning trail paths that dates back thousands of years. Everywhere you look is part of the history of these regions.

I had a great experience working with my lecturers online and in class times. I thought I had the right amount of contact especially when doing my dissertation project; I thought the support I received was very helpful to me and helped me get through the process without having to worry about unanswered questions because I had none at the end.

University halls
What do you think about the safety, condition, location and cost of your accommodation?
I thought the halls were nice, I think bigger easy access to the bins would be best; I myself didn’t like touching the lids. The streets nearby to connect to the town and halls needed to be more lid at night and the Tweed road halls access be more accessible. The amenities at the halls are great, students can even sign up for free bicycles to get around, the halls have a near by gym and everyone has access to it at a very low price, the access to the town is very close and so are the campus. From the halls, one can wake up to views from the windows to wild flowers and hares. The student life has lots of great activities that almost take place at a weekly basis.
