Best wise: They do try provide activities/ talks to further engage with your degree - but it seems very limited most of time as compared to what I've seen at other universities such as LSE, UCL ect. Worst aspects: some of the lecturers have typically dull modules imo (Political Theory) and they don't exactly make it any more engaging either - they'll read off their printed out notes (it's all just quotations and pictures on their slides) and just leave you to do the grovelling for extracting the main points of their arguments (which tbf fair enough).

Most like: It's 5 mins away from my lectures/ seminars - ideal for someone who most of the time sleeps in! Dining hall is near so able to make a quick run down to breakfast and just in time for lessons starting. Catering staff are a gem apart from one old lady who always has the same stern facial expression every morning. Nonetheless, it's a great location - not very pretty but at the end of the day we're all gonna be getting a night's sleep eitherway, whether that be in a King size bed or single haha. Least like: the wifi can be very slow/ not working sometimes - a pain.

Seminars sometimes lack usefulness

Very expensive

Good amount of contact time

Good location close to rivers and trees Like the facilities least

Flip learning isn’t very effective

Far location, but very nice facilities

Archie does it

I lived in a block that was extremely cramped and uncomfortable to live in.

Would definitely like more feedback sessions with tutors

The catering was really good during the week, I was in a house of 15 but with only three bathrooms so maybe an increase in bathrooms

The lack of contact hours and communication between the two departments for joint honour dissertation is very disappointing

Great accommodation

We're not given the tools to solve climate breakdown, it's all about getting a corporate job.

Far too expensive to live
