The University has so many societies to join and advertise themselves at the freshers fair each year. There are lots of places to study or have chill time and great food outlets ranging from breakfast to lunch/dinner. There is a store that sells the universities hoodies, sweaters and joggers which are perfect for fall/winter and are very cosy. read more

I’m a first year student that applied through clearing. The location of everything on campus is close and they have a wide range of facilities. I do live a 10 min walk away from campus but it doesn’t really affect me. The surrounding area is also pretty and there’s lots of places to study and relax. read more
