Are you thinking of applying to this university?
Before you do, it's a good idea to go to an open day. You can have a good look around campus, getting a better idea of what it's like to study there. You'll meet current students and staff and get the chance to ask them questions.
Universities will list upcoming open days on their websites. Most will also have virtual open days; these are a great alternative if you really can't get there in person. For tips on preparing for open days, check the advice section here on The Uni Guide.

The welfare services are helpful. But the academic support is not great, as the tutors tend to be very fixed with their assigned time and the help that I was given did not help me to engage in academics in a stimulating way.
The NSS is an annual survey where final-year students are asked to rate different aspects of their course and university experience.
