I loved my time at this university. The place during the summer and spring is like out of a movie and it has a very central location so everything is closely accessible to students ie. the city centre, the students union, the centre for student life, 4 main libraries and Bute park are all at a 30 minute walk from each other!!

University isn't that bad in terms, it's okay, it does however suck how you cannot get accommodation as a returning student and are forced to look for one yourself, if you've got no friends - good luck, if you don't have enough money for a studio or whatever - goodluck. Responses from lecturers aren't too bad either, location is quite cheap so it makes it easier to enjoy what the uni has to offer.

I’ve had an amazing time. I have had access to top facilities whether it be for my studies, I.e course materials, and study spaces on campus or be it societies and SU related stuff to ensure my voice is heard.

The University does not care for working class students. There is not enough financial support for students who have to work. I work 25 hours a week and I am constantly exhausted and unable to catch up because I have to work. If I don't work, I can't go uni. And the university will not provide enough money, not good support

It would be better if the apartment could offer free storage services during the six days between two tenancies.
