- Great location and iconic buildings. Fantastic facilities in a safe environment. The course itself is challenging and tutors extremely approachable. Disappointed with the lack of affordable accommodation choice for 2nd and third years. Rents are quite high and student finance loans don't cover the full cost of living. Continuing student were not allowed to apply for halls ,so private accommodation was the only option.
