What students say about physics-of-matter

The university creates a welcoming feel. However, the campus can feel quite isolated . Although, the Bus system is very prompt but not ideal when you need to get somewhere quickly. All the buildings have been modernised on the inside and the site is full of greenery.

What students say about physics-of-matter

I love the city in general. The University's libraries are good. with proper facilities that I can use, such as discussion rooms, computers, printers, even 3D printer! Some buildings look so old but in positive ways, make them look classic and cultured. However, in my own experience, some classrooms are a little bit aged. i mean, like some chairs are feel old, they are sometimes kind of wobbly, and some of them do not have enough leg room. Main library can be crowded when exam days come, but I think that is something that can not be avoided. i think it is good to add some space for classrooms or some like study hubs.
