Timetabling is generally bad in my course. A lot of the classes are too early and too long, and we tend to not have classes in our own engineering building. There's a tendency to change class locations often and it seems like in terms of coursework assessment and deadlines the staff are just figuring it out as they go. There's no real guidance as to how you're supposed to achieve success in each module. Quality of teaching is generally subpar as most lecturers either read off slides or fail to engage students or don't sound like they have good command of the subject matter

Being an international student the fees are higher and harder to pay (including fluctuations in exchange rates) and the school is usually inflexible in their understanding of this. Value for money is low in my opinion

Currently union initiatives have improved in order to get students more interested so there's an uptick in performance, but generally not up to standard so far

Most of the time I have to seek support for myself and even at that, it's usually a case of me being told to do it myself

The city is generally boring and the university is not any more lively. Whether it's the culture or the students themselves, anything interesting is usually conducted by the students privately and not by the university

Generally okay, could use more of each equipment/facility or a higher standard of it. Accommodation options are bad however, no real quality
