I live in the north east, so it`s a great place. Go study. I would highly recommend on this uni to anyone, because here I found great help and support. I don`t live in the halls as I live locally.

The best aspect of my uni life is that I've become more independent and responsible for my learning, finances, time management and social life. I've met new people from different backgrounds and cultures and make new friends. I have opportunity to pursue the degree that suits my career aspirations and also enjoy a diverse social life, events and activities. The worst aspect is the time management is hard because the time is tight, coping with heavy workload, meeting deadlines and adapt to different style of teaching. The other thing is the financial difficulties, paying tuition, accomodation, living expenses even though Sunderland is way cheaper than other cities in the UK. For me other challenge is cooking and grocery shopping. I was used to have all ready back home, so I could focus on studies and enjoy free time. Now I have to come to the campus after the whole day at school and cook myself some dinner. But overall I' m really happy to study Psychology and to be in Sunderland. I know the first year is a bit challenging with all the changes and I'm confident that I will learn to manage all so I succeed in my studies.

My course is taught in class, 4 days per week. I love my course cause I learn about human behavior, emotions, personalities. There is a lot of biology, which is my favorite subject.

Sunderland is a vibrant, dynamic, friendly student city. It's a mix of coastal, countryside and metropolitan scenery. For living it's one of the cheapest cities in the UK with low rent, living expenses and entertainment costs. There is a lot of events, activities, societies, clubs for students to attend. There are great transport links, Campus bus for students, Metro and Train for traveling to the other parts of the North East.

I like my accomodation as is near the center and close to the shops and metro station. It's a safe place and I met new people there who are in the same situation as me. I share a bathroom and toilet with another 2 students and we have a shared kitchen on our floor. The laundry room is in the other building which is a bit uncomfortable. The accomodation is clean and room are simple but comfortable and warm. It's definitely value for the money and I'm satisfied.
