The Student Union is very comprehensive with its legislation. This is a blessing and a curse. They represent students well but societies have to go through reams of paperwork to do even the smallest thing on campus.

The uni life is great here. I love all the societies Iu2019m part of and thereu2019s literally something for everyone, and at a high standard.

I have to rely on my parents because student loan doesnu2019t even cover the rent. For people with parents who wonu2019t/canu2019t support them this gets difficult.

I have great support from my department. However, with the counselling service you only get 5 sessions which isnu2019t great. The Reasonable Adjustment Plans are very good.

The study spaces on campus are great. Thereu2019s options for silent, quiet or murmur level study spaces. The accommodation is pretty good and the facilities are great. Some places like the Arts building are not cared for and there is a greater focus on expansion for science based subjects.
