The Students’ Union looks busy on the surface with lots of societies and events, but in reality I didn’t feel represented or supported.

Timetables and placement information were often given late or changed at short notice, which made planning accommodation, travel and part-time work almost impossible and left me out of pocket. There was a lot of emphasis on “professionalism” but ...
