 " Academic staff are a mixed bunch, some are excellent while others are poor. Academic handbook had frequent contradictions either within themselves or with information from staff. Administrative staff are atrocious. Numerous delays with initial application, incorrect amounts showing on finance account that wasn't rectified despite assurances. "

 " It was a good university but if you live on campus it's quite far into the city centre for night life and the union was not very eventful except for sports nights. Also the mitigating circumstance system for struggling students is honestly a nightmare because they don't offer extensions to anyone which makes it more stressful. "

 " Good university, nice campus. Not as accessible as needs be but the are working to improve that. Staff are nice and approachable. Would prefer to have added route to the campus ( more bus options) there are a lot of people in place to help, you've just got to ask for the help "

 " Satisfied with my choice, the university has plenty of space for all your educational needs. Academic staff are generally very nice and supportive. The campus is very chill, warm and quiet. But I've always felt that international students are always burdened more with extra fees and expenses. "
