    • At first I was extremely surprised about the affordable price of the accommodation and it definitely deserves every single last pound. The pictures from the sites are accurate and the community is united and friendly.

    • As a disabled student I felt so at peace with my condition being treated so well and I have never felt left out. I cannot give information about the financial support I have received but if I didn’t get the help I got I wouldn’t have been able to study here.

    • I have always wanted to challenge myself as much as possible and all throughout high school I’ve been impatient to finally start studying Biology. I love working in the lab and doing hours of reading and I never have trouble with asking my lecturers for help.
