All the power points and work is available online so itu2019s easy to not behind. Itu2019s really good to make friends they make us interact with others on our course. Thereu2019s not to much reading which we like a lot is theory based through notes not detailed research.

    • The accomodation is an average price for Universityu2019s. The main supermarket is Morrisons so quite expensive but thereu2019s tons of little tescos and Iceland farm foods and Lidl around the city within walking distance. Most people just order food from Lidl or Tesco as itu2019s like u00a32 delivery so itu2019s not bad. Drinks are fairly cheap most places aim to students and have discounts/ offers for us. The uni have help with finances to if your struggling and campus jobs if u need one. Thereu2019s also lots of jobs around here so donu2019t worry.
