Someone, somewhere, someday said "Here's a field in the middle of nowhere, you know what we could put here? A university!" Musselburgh is a decent walk away and you will spend a fortune in travel to and from uni into Edinburgh (a taxi after a night out is at least £15).Campus accommodation is alright. It's decent price, relatively flexible rules. While the rooms aren't big, they thought out storage very well when building it. And your en-suite bathroom? Don't get too excited: you genuinely can use the toilet and shower at the same time. Half of the flats are empty most of the year so it's great fun for hide and seek/giant sleepovers.Student Union is ridiculously expensive for drinks and most of their events are . . . slightly less than successful.Societies are extremely popular at freshers, but slowly everyone realises how bad they are and you'll find your 21 year old male friends being coaxed into cheerleading as there is no one else on the team.QMU was voted 4th worst uni to get laid at. Officially. the latest stats were 800girls- 200guys.Everyone is Irish.This one was a rumour, but I heard that more than 700of people who graduated PR

My Course (Politics) was fantastic, I had such great support from the lecturers and still keep in touch now.The small lecture sizes (only 30 in my whole year) meant that I got to know all of my coursemates well and it meant that the lectures were more interactive and less formal, which helped with learning no end.Winchester is a small University, and this has it's upsides and downsides.It is small enough to not get lost and it means you are guaranteed to see people you know on a night out. The downside is that it limits the number of new people you can meet, and the lack of nightclubs is something that will eventually annoy you.

What do you think of your Students' Union in terms of student representation and facilities?
This was refurbished while I was there, it was much larger but it has lost some its charm. Gigs were pretty poor although DJ's improved ...
Local life(4)
Is your university in a good location in terms of distance to accommodation and local amenities?
Close to Coventry, which I visited once. I spent most of the time in Leam or on campus.
Societies and Sports(5)
How would you rate the variety of societies/sports?
I was a member of the football club, this was a superb experience and I'm still in touch with many of the people in the teams. Each year in May we go back to the uni for a alumni vs UG match followed by watching the FA cup final together.
