I think that the support we get from maintenance was good however I think compared other uni accommodation, there are others out there that are better value for money
Students with additional needs are supported and given lots of opportunities to meet people in a similar situation to form a community. The university is situated between the city centre and student village so that it isn’t too far to walk from most accommodations, although it would be better if buses were provided from the city centre/su to the main accommodations after nights out. The couse itself differs based on the lecturer as it can often be difficult to understand and the environment doesnt feel open to enquiry whilst other workshops seem welcoming and open to those who need additional explainations.

Lectures are difficult to follow and it is difficult to know what aspects you are supposed to understand at the specific point in time but workshops pick up and significantly help understanding. It would be beneficial if seminars were more evenly distributed as there us a big work load when there are 3 in 1 week and none in another

Location is a-bit far from the city centre and any large supermarkets making it difficult to carry shopping for 40mins up a hill so i can afford it.management has been swift when dealing with problems however internet can drop out occasionally
I love how the lectures are structured and the attention given to the students. So far I've not experienced anything bad so I'm really happy with my decision to study here.
Overall, a decent university with good lecturers and nice people around. I like the variety of buildings that the uni has as it is fun to explore each building and see the uniqueness of it.

I love the lecturers and i think the course is flexible as the hours are not crazy and the lectures are spaced out quite nicely.
