Ulster university is a decent uni but it seems the entire place is made to cater to international students, the accommodation is simply unaffordable (it costs more than what you get from student finance) and everything costs way too much money even working a job it is still difficult as a result of the inflated prices from internationals who get far more financial support compared to locals. Don’t expect to come here and survive without financial aid from your parents if you’re studying full time. read more
