The facilities are top notch and all fairly close together. It’s in a great area with the botanic gardens and all the places to eat etc. The lecturers are great too.

It is all in person which is great. Not much contact is made with the lecturers but they are great.

Queen's has high standards and this is reflected in all of the above elements. I am still finding my feet but have overall settled. I would love to see more events for older students such as over the age of 30. I feel a bit isolated but I there are many clubs and societies to join. I am so far a member of Women in STEM, the Chemistry Society and the Biological Science Society. I would also like to see more awareness and events for neurodiverse students, particularly older ones.

I am interested in biodiversity as I aspire to become a full time professional wildlife ecologist. I am looking forward to studying modules more focused on wildlife and habitats. My favourite topic so far is Earth Science. Our classes are across three schools and it is good to have variety and change of scene. While I am overall settled, the downside to that is that we are I currently do not feel like I fully belong anywhere. Also, I would have preferred to study biodiversity first and more thoroughly before studying environmental policies. However, this is just how my mind works given my previous work experience and I understand why we are studying this at this stage.

There are lots of nice places to eat and drink and always events on. As a lone female with a learning difference, I do not stay too late at uni as around the area where Botanic train station is can be rowdy and intimidating for me. However, if I were a younger student who could afford to live in Belfast, I would likely enjoy the nightlife and vibrancy of the city, and have more freedom to use the McKlay Library as it's open 24/7.
