    • I think my uni is really supportive. They offer good lecturers, a range of courses and are great at putting out information on time. Some aspects could be improved. I believe my course could in areas as well as the accommodation on site.

    • The support I have received for academic and health is on the whole, pretty good. The only downside to the health aspect is that this takes a long time to come through- even just waiting on appointment times.
