I didn’t think University life would be like this. Full of new experiences and learning. I love that the entire uni has a feeling of community and closeness during hard times

Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars

I’ve enjoyed studying so far. Not all things have lived up to my expectations and meeting people is a little daunting however overall it has been a positive experience. While some lectures are boring I find that the overall quality of teaching is high and there is an excellent standard of support.
