GSU aren't very diverse. In the GSU elections, there were only 5 women out of 25 candidates. This is a huge issue

The course did not feel like it was worth the money. Neither did the accommodation really.

It was okay. Not the best, maybe the worst? The course definitely needs to improve. I regret studying here. Should've chose a better uni for speech therapy for sure.

Accommodation is okay -- can be noisy, unclean and campus isn't always safe. There have been a few incidents that have happened at this campus. (Avery Hill Campus)

This course is based at the Avery Hill Campus. Unfortunately I have had a very bad experience so far. Unfortunately, the course is consistently performing below expected student expectations.
