The location of the university ideal with everything in close proximity to each other. Most lectures are interesting, and lecturers are approachable, making it easy to ask them anything. My overall study experience has been good.
A great and uprising university with close connections between tutors and students. Always willing to help if struggling and always available for feedback on assignments if needed which is really useful when aiming for the high grades.
