- Welfare provision is very good. Seriously lacking in clubs and societies. There is one bar that is often shut.

- It has been difficult to make friends but this is I’m assuming primarily down to the fact I’m on a course with musicians who are fairly solitary anyway.

- Student services is very well run and offer a lot of support. The professor’s feedback on work is often not that helpful and the head of faculty is almost impossible to find all of the time.
