The students union is the best in the UK and Ireland, that I have seen, though I am biased. The university itself genuinely cares about its students, is well run and I have watched it steadily improve over the last few year. It is a credit to Belfast and makes the city better.

Expensive but that's an issue across the sector, still better than the private sector. A little far from the actual campus and the rooms are a little depressing.

Queen's university Belfast is a very friendly place to study at. The campus is lovely and small so it is easy to find your classes. It is also in a great location, close to restaurants, cafes and city centre. There are a variety of volunteer opportunities and sports clubs to be part of, making it easier to meet friends and to join the student life at Queen's.
One thing I've noticed is that Queen's is disorganized in terms of administration based tasks. As an international student, it was unfair to only release the graduation date a month in advance. I have family coming from overseas and this is far too late to try and organize accommodation, flights, etc. The support for student mental health also needs to be improved.

I did enjoy my course, I really liked the fieldwork experience and work placement option.
I wish my course did more survey experience and species identification.

My accomodations was very safe and comfortable. Maintenance of the flat could be improved and also the cleaning at the start of the year.
