The variety of friends I have made has been the best part of my university experience. These friends are there for you and offer or receive assistance with academics, social life, and even other international exposures. Additionally, I have been able to receive any assistance from the school that I have requested. I believe there are numerous community opportunities that I may need to investigate before graduating. The university staff is extremely responsive and eager to assist when required. The professors are approachable and always willing to help. The student union is very interactive and organize events to help students, especially international students to settle in comfortably. The campus is serene and conducive for effective studies with library and other necessary facilities. On the other hand, I think some lecture seminar rooms at University Park campus are quite old with the chairs uncomfortable and do not have enough charging ports .

The courses are complementary to the degree and my career goals. The contents are also concise but they are very intensive. Some courses require more course hours for professors to go deeper to reinforce understanding. Additionally, some courses are scheduled late in the day and it is difficult to be in the right mental position to assimilate the information. As indicated initially, some courses will best be understood if practical sessions are organized occasionally. I was hoping that as a master's student in mechanical engineering, I would gain more hands-on experience with the newly acquired knowledge; however, I have not yet participated in any practical labs. Because of this, it's hard for me to visualize the material, which makes it harder to apply what I've learned in school to the workplace. The career department is also up to task, ready to help and support students, including international students. Opportunities are shared and info sessions are organized to keep students preapred for the career world. The training and interview sessions, together with some challenges they provide are very key and beneficial for after-school life.

Overall a great place to learn and develop as a young adult. Great nightlife and the people are really helpful and friendly. They have TWO Lidl's!!!!! The university could be improved by being able to offer help for people who are suffering with personal problems. The university has so many students so there is a wide variety of people you can meet and interact with allowing for a deeper look into different cultures and ways of life. It's definitely been an exciting journey so far and I'm excited to see where else this university can take me in this developmental stage of my life.

The course is taught in person with the lecture recordings being published online. The lecturers are available for email contact and teams meetings where in person meetings can be organised. The practical aspect of the course is more challenging as the help provided is minimal, to be fair is to develop a certain way of thinking, although this mindset could still be developed with more aid.

The front door to the halls wouldn't shut properly so anyone could just walk into the halls. There was no heating in my room for the winter, it was briefly fixed and then broke again and no attempt was made to fix it. The WiFi was slow and would drop off frequently. The cost of the room was far too high for what was received. The location, however, was fantastic. It was located a short walk from a local park, the lecture halls and the sport centre.
