Best Uni for Supporting Students Wellbeing
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
I've had a really good experience at my university. They really take care of you and make sure your mental health is good. I've had a few problems with my private accommodation; the university have been so supportive and have helped me a lot. I've always felt comfortable speaking to anyone if I feel I'm struggling with my studies as well.
