Found it quite shocking that you have to pay a huge fee to join the Student Union. rnI also had trouble voting in the last election, and have received no reply to an email I sent trying to get help to fix this.

Plenty of cafes in the day, and lots of libraries to work in, especially on sites like Sidgwick. rnSome good clubbing, but it really depends on when you go. One Saturday, the club was absolutely dead, but if you want a good night out, I would recommend Wednesday Revs.

We were also organised to be next door to someone from our subject - a great touch! My accommodation is perfectly functional - we have a bed, desk, wardrobe, en-suite and shared kitch...

I love the layout of our course. It has just enough freedom (ie I can choose my essay title each week, and will later be able to choose which texts I revisit and revise and which I never want to see again) while being structured and guided under four papers, each of a different time period. The supp...
