I really love my course and teachers, but opportunities to go out and socialise are restricted to mostly just drinking.
The student union is SO GOOD like compared to my friends universities this is brilliant - I wish some of the buildings could be upgraded: like John Percival building. Maybe a separate building for the school of ENCAP.
