It's located very strategically as it is an open university, but is not overcrowded with the city folk. It is also a quiet area where university and education are prioritised over nightlife. But there is a club that operates in the university itself. Personally one of the most difficult aspects of uni experience is the transportation. Stagecoach buses are very unreliable.

Classes are taught in a blended style, with both prerecorded lectures and in class as well. The material is adequate and you have free access to the additional books that you need for all modules

The heating is centrally controlled, but it has never gotten uncomfortable cold throughout the winter. The property management also attends all issues reported in a timely fashion. The downside is the amount of times the fire alarms go off as they are very sensitive to any forms of smoke.
