The SU website is very confusing.

Campus is always clean and tidy, it feels quite safe. The SU club is enjoyable and fun to go on a night out. Ormskirk has a lot to offer in terms of fun and activities.

Accommodation costs are ridiculous, the rooms are very small. I have contacted finance support and they were very rude to me because I had spent my entire student loan. The shop is way too expensive for groceries.

Inclusion helped me when I needed extra support during a difficult time at uni.

The gym is really accessible, it is a good price. The library is very big so you can always get a spot, it is always clean and a nice environment.

Facilities

It is very interesting. The teachers take time to get to know you and teach you the course content. They give feedback on all essays and you can meet with them to discuss feedback and how to improve.
