The price of the course is overrated, especially as an international student. It was weird to not have any classes or support in term 3, especially for my course as we do not have exams for most of the modules. But we still had to pay for it, which was unreasonable.

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.
