i deal with deep mental health issues/disabilities while studying which has not made my experience very enjoyable, however i have a great amount of support on this front and i commend the university for this.
I feel after being at university it is similar experience however being older I feel that a lot of the unimportant items taught can be left out. There are a couple of lecturers who understand this and the teaching is concise.
It is a lot of work and a lot of stress, but you are all in it together, and at the end of the day the uni wants you to do well and succeed. Some of the lecturers are really inspiring.
Do yourself a favor and read these reviews. This University is good if you want an easy degree with some applicable content to the real workplace. If you don't want homework or tests, it's ideal. I came here for an postgraduate degree and that's it. Was the huge loan worth it? Nope. Don't go to this University if you expect to be respected (as an international student) or if you want your grade to be based more off of what you learned rather than how much knowledge your group members retained. I thought I left grading systems like this behind in elementary school.
Very expositive classes and an excellent student support. The examinations are not as good as expected because they do not encourage the effective learning, but memorizing things. The Saltire Center is fantastic!

Cali is a great place to learn, it is relatively frill free, however it is an excellent place to learn, study and make friends.
The focus on practical experience is excellent, and is mostly in person with lectures accessible online
