  It is very structured with very little independent study and no submitted work until exams. Teaching is good, excellent in some cases. Covers what we need to know and gives us practical experience.

  Accommodation
  
  Potters Bar. Where all clinical vet students live as commutable to Hawkshead campus (free shuttle bus and walk). Nothing much to do (wetherspoons) and supermarkets difficult to access without car (for big shop) - order online. Can get to kings cross in 20 mins but £6.15 off peak return with Railcard. No access to shops/restaurants/cinema/theatre etc. without going into London or having a car. I wouldn't choose to live there but have no choice because of the location of the campus. House is really nice and affordable.
