Hull is a great place to be as a student. The City of Culture has a vibrant nightlife and friendly locals. Everyday items can be bought at some of the lowest prices in the country- making it ideal for those living on a student budget. The student union is great and all the elected officers are passionate about what they do. I would not hesitate to recommend this uni to a friend.

Swansea University is one of the most welcoming universities in the country. For my course in particular, it is one of only four institutes offering it and the modules compared to others offering the same degree appear to be to a higher standard and more relevant to a career. The lecturers are all friendly and willing to help, with office hours available and all students welcome. The university itself has all facilities you could want and more, and over 100 societies offer something for everyone. Not to mention the town offering a nightlife, the beach being only 70 metres away and the Gower offering beautiful sites.
