The last senior recommended toybox, I booked one decisively. First of all, the location is very convenient, five minutes' walk to the city center. Secondly, the apartment facilities are complete, there is a gym, coffee shop, laundry, printers and so on, the daily needs can be met. Finally, the most important thing is that the accommodation is quite good, each room is equipped with infrastructure, as well as a vacuum cleaner. Living in tb will also give gifts to households on New year's Day, and problems can be properly resolved on the same day. I am very satisfied with this! read more

Personally I found a lot of the first year lectures really rubbish because the lecturers didnt seem to know what they were doing. You can get by perfectly alright if you have done maths and statistics at A-Level though. The fluid flow, thermodynamics and heat transfer lecturer is AMAZinG. Bit disorganised as a department at first with timetables/hand outs/lab booklets, but that may just be what most unis are like at the beginning of the year! read more
