Best aspects - lots of green space, lots of support available, good transport connections, free parking for year 1 commuters Worst aspects - night events start too late, too many websites to navigate would be easier if everything was more centralised for access

Best: The lecturers and their support, I love how helpful they are and attentive to my needs. Worst: The public transport and waiting 30+ minutes for a bus, they’re always charging different prices and late to the bus stop.
