Despite recent budget cuts the uni's societies are extremely inclusive and varied, creating a society is possible and the democratic process of running them allows for transparency and proper representation of the students involved in the activity. Campus facilities are good but not without fault, campus is beautiful but many classrooms are untidy, unfit for use, too small for the class sizes, and run down. the university clearly prioritises the science degrees in their teaching spaces, the labs are pristine and modern while other studies are neglected and forced to learn in classrooms with limited space and broken technology. read more
