What students say about genetics

Lots of resources online such as the online library as well as one in real life to visit at any time. The city itself hasn't got much going on which is probably the worst aspect but it's definitely still lively for a night out and has its perks as everything is so close together. Nearby is hundreds of amazing landscapes that make for a good hike; if you're an outdoor person this is the place for you. There's also hundreds of clubs that are very welcoming and easy to sign up for and of course the nightlife is full of pubs and a great club that you'll see everyone at from Wednesday to Saturday. There's so many courses that go from really specific to much broader so there's something for everyone and on my course at least there's a good mix of written work and course work.

What students say about genetics

Best aspects would definitely be the people and the location. By the beach but with safe and lively night life, which in my opinion is important for most undergrad students, also the welsh are lovely and friendly. It depends on the area but overall the city feels extremely safe which was important for me. Some of the buildings on the old campus (singleton) look a bit run-down especially when the sun isn't out so it might be worth them revamping some buildings to make certain parts look less depressing. But again thats only a few, and the walk to campus is lovely especially as theres a massive park/green space right next to campus, with a 2 minute detour taking you right to the beach. Can't say too much on the students' union because it looks good but i havent really engaged with it. They always have some sort of event going on but honestly i havent been to many, so maybe the events could be more engaging so more people including myself would go.

Best: the student life and the interesting modules in my course. Worst - not always feeling like students have the most support, especially those with learning difficulties. The support isn't the same as going through college, and we should receive the same amount of support, as our challenges haven't changed just because things have changed academically.
