  My accommodation is very well equipped and maintained. They keep good maintenance of the site. Run events for the students regularly. I am in a flat with people I get on with well other than one individual that doesn’t wash up or clean after themselves.

  I was unsure exactly who I was going to be living with but there was a pressure to get it sorted early to get the best places. But 2 people originally I was going to live with dropped out and it was an extremely stressful process where you were left to your own devices to just sort it out with minimal help

  The course is structured well and covers interesting topics. The teachers are good. There are less contact hours that what I expected considering the fees I have to pay. Assessments are fair and challenging. Feedback takes a bit long to come back but is done well.

  We have assignments for each module, each semester. This gives me time to plan and prepare for them in advance. It’s better than having exams
