Although i expected there to be a gym. But otherwise, the rest of the facilities such as the library or the student union experience has been fantastic.

Overall, my experience has been extremely great. I only attend university once a week while being a full-time student. Its always fun attending classes and studying in your own time, flexibility is one of the biggest benefits.
