    • I haven't encountered the academic support yet but have had a few issues with admin support giving the wrong information to detrimental effect and pointing you toward the wrong member of academic staff and being rerouted a lot.

    • The timetable often clashes with opportunities relevant to or within the school which is frustrating and there isn't a lot of contact time but there are lots of opportunities to hear from visiting academics and political figures which enhances the experience

    • Library and the other facilities as far as I've used them are very good. Computer/power issues often come up with individual desktops/outlets in the library and I haven't had them resolved at the point of issue but IT overall has been great with fixing issues when I need them.
