What to look for in facilities at university 


Facilities are hugely important to think about when searching for a university, as you’ll be spending a lot of time on campus. From the lecture halls and libraries to specialist equipment, facilities can impact your learning heavily. Outside of the classroom, considering the university’s facilities is crucial. Access to good (and affordable) food on campus, gyms and entertainment in the area should be on your list.
