Student rating
This is the overall rating calculated by averaging all live reviews for this uni on Whatuni.
Could be improved by reducing costs on campus shops/ cafes. Often find it’s too expensive to eat there despite being stuck on campus all day for lectures, which isn’t ideal when living in accommodation in town as you can’t run home for food.

Course feels somewhat oversubscribed this year so less contact time with tutors, work placements don’t seem exciting at this level and are often unpaid.

Harry French
Was relatively cheap but for evident reasons. Had a lot of problems with local bike thieves and people climbing through windows to steal, happened to so many flats yet no security cameras were ever put up for the whole year. Nice bedrooms but kitchen and toilets were very sad.
The social life and facilities are excellent and especially in final year the support from the lectures and tutors is great. It could be improved by having more job opportunities for the students.

Harry French was one of the cheapest halls so the actual rooms sometimes weren’t the best kept however the social life and friends I made here was excellent and I wouldn’t have changed my hall experience in the slightest.
