Great facilities. SU is awesome. Some of the newer uni buildings are uninspiring but the main building is cool. Lecturers are really good.

I love how walkable the city is; you can walk to all the libraries/campuses. I like the events that the uni puts on, especially when free food is involved. I think there is lots of opportunities and places to ask for support when needed, whether that be financial, academic, etc. I will say that the student's union club (YOLO) has become difficult to get into since people have now started queueing at 7pm so it becomes really busy really quickly.
