What students say about sociology

I so far really enjoy my course, I would say the location and general feel make it better than any other option, the variety of places I can just relax and sit down or to study is really nice. If I was to point out any negatives it would be with occasional lessons that have 2 or 3 hour gaps between which feel slightly disjointed

What students say about sociology

I really like my research lab and supervisor. They are very insightful, has very good intuition and research ideas. I'm also really grateful for the opportunity to work with leading researchers on very interesting projects exploring how deep learning can improve healthcare management. What I dislike is that very high rent of university-owned student accommodation. It's so counterintuitive and unexpected that private student accommodation in Sheffield is many times cheaper.
