My university experience at Queen's University Belfast has been extremely rewarding. It feels like I'm living in a fairytale. The campus is exceptionally beautiful and pleasant to the eyes. The top-notch learning environment has enabled me to excel in my studies. The teachers at Queen's are extremely helpful and well equipped with knowledge regarding their subject. The facilities are amazing, you will find everything on campus. There are convenient stores with budget-friendly prices. They even have a swap shop which enables the students to grab something they need. One of the best things about my university is the fact that they put a lot of emphasis on students' mental health. They have a dedicated student wellbeing department which is always ready to help students with their struggles and provide them with meaningful advice. The university goes out of the way to make their students feel comfortable and stress free. They even have a student recruitment program where they provide part time job opportunities for students so they can earn and facilitate themselves while studying. These jobs help them gain real world experience and equip them with all necessary skills needed in professional life. Queen's also has a great Student Union which offers all sorts of advice, help and information. It comprises of study areas, prayer rooms, shops, bars, halls and game rooms. The environment is always pleasant and enthusiastic. They even provide their students with free groceries so that students can better focus on their studies without having to worry about their meals. In short, there's no better university than Queen's University Belfast and everyone should study here if they want a peaceful campus life and better work opportunities once they graduate.

The best aspect of my course is the way it is taught. Teachers are extremely generous and they have a strong grip on their respective subjects. There are a lot of interactive activities that enable students to feel confident and productive. There are multiple tasks and quiz exercises during class which help with better understanding the concepts and apply them to real-life scenarios. The atmosphere is lively and cheerful, and everyone contributes which makes it even better. Contacting the teachers has never been this easy. I was left shocked when I received the email response from my teacher within a few minutes of my query. Whether it's about a student's personal struggles or study issues, the teachers go out of their way to assist them and make them feel at ease. My anxiety couldn't have asked for a better teaching environment than this, and it has really been improving since then. There's no worst part about my course. The readings are extremely lengthy but, they are useful and important for the overall understanding of the subject.

The Students' Union has shaped my university experience in the best way. It truly has made my time at Queen's a transformative student experience providing a place for everyone to belong. Through clubs and societies, volunteering, free events, enterprise and student voice it has provided network opportunities and created a sense of belonging while building skills that will increase employability down the line. Cost of living initiatives such as free meals, the pantry and swap shop show that students are being listened to.
The worst aspects of my university experience has been not knowing where a room was, bunched deadlines and all nighters in the library but all the challenges have provided a chance to improvise, adapt and overcome. Any issues relating to modules can be brought up at SVCs and worked together to improve.

In class is the best aspect of the course. It makes it easier to follow along with the content being taught. Passionate lecturers keep you engaged easier. Worst aspect is no recordings of the lecture portion of seminars which would be good for revision.

What do you think about the safety, condition, location and cost of your accommodation?
What I like the most is the possibility to meet people and make friends who you can move in with the following year especially when going to uni not knowing anyone. Other people not doing their dishes is the least liked thing about halls.
