Shocking support for students. Although coronavirus was unprecedented and hard for everyone that does not excuse the lack of support. It would take days for lecturers to get back to you with an answer to your question via email. And would not answer their phones quite often. Ridiculous for the amount of money you had paid! Lecturers would post your grades late, very often might I add without any explanation. In second year for the European Union module, we waited an additional 2 weeks to receive our grades back! We were not informed by our lecturer, instead she told 2 students who passed it on to the rest of the class. The worst aspect was the lack of support for learning disabilities. My exams were a mockery! Every single time they would forget to allocate extra time, causing further stress to myself. Especially when they were remote timed. I would waste an hour of my time arguing with someone to get me my extra time! And I am not the only person who experienced this. One of my fellow students was given 10% extra time for the first 2 years before someone read her learning support plan and told her that it was 25% extra time she was entitled to. The location is amazing. But I would suggest going to alternative university! I will be for my masters of law.
The university is disgusting. Zero help from your tutors it’s like the give up on you. not to mention some of the course leads literally have no faith in you and dim your light. This university and course practically ruined my life. If you want to study Korean at ysj save yourself some time and money and don’t go near that place!

Best experience: interacting with other students, boosting my confidence and my first ever time in a lecture hall Worst experience: when their was an error with my LSP and I was at risk of not having the agreed extension on my assignments
Best: the support I had when I was struggling with the work Worst: presentations as I have severe anxiety
Most: how close it was to university Worst: when my flat mates left food in the fridge over Christmas break which led to a fly infestation
