  I don’t think it’s well structured as we spend half the year in placement, this means we are away from uni and from tutor support. Feed back could be more personal as it it quite generic

  It's nice. I picked it because it seemed the best way to have the full university experience. The best aspect is the big room space and the reasonable rent amount. The worst aspect is that you have to plan your day according to the bus times.
