Pros, that the kitchen is shared amongst 4 people Cons, the reception people aren’t welcoming, not that often buses The common room is too small and basic

The best accept of it would be that it'll make students to put themselves in a real world situation to work as a group to finish a project and document the whole process as blogs. It'll teach you teamwork, decillion and time management. It also teaches you that no matter how good you think you are in your field, you still need to learn more and more everyday. The worst part of it would be that you are pretty much alone with your assignments, even if you don't have any experience in taks that they want to do, you have fulfill the project on your own without getting trained. And the fact that you must very very skilled full in this area of working otherwise you won't be able to get a job with a high expected salary as the government requires you of.

There's not much of nagtive points that I can think of. The uni's actually pretty close to our residence halls and also close to shopping center for your daily needs.

The fact that it's pretty close to university campus location you can get there to your classes under 20 minutes by walking. The rent that you are paying, 100% worth it. Because you're getting a nice and clean disciplined room that he's been cleaned a few times a week by half cleaners employees . And there is a vibrant diverse community of international and native students in halls that you can be in touch with and have parties and chat and talk and make new friends and spend some quality time with them. I can't think of many negative points. It just the rooms are a Little bit Small.

My module is taught in the class.

The best is the content of the course the information and modules but worst is the way the schools are selected as placement and appointed mentors

It’s so annoying that power goes off time to time and it arouses anger and the internet breakdowns sometimes and no one there to support and reception asks for us to deal with Askfor by ourselves. We are not ICT technicians and rooms are soooo small and it crease depressive feelings!

The best is that they explained the topics till you understand. The worst is that there are assignments and some tutors aren't going in depth

I am fortunate to be part of a program where accessibility to tutors is seamless, and their willingness to assist knows no bounds. Engaging in classroom training, I find the allocated hours and days to be exceptionally accommodating, exceeding my initial expectations. This thoughtful scheduling affords me ample time to delve into my studies, undertake projects, and actively participate in both academic pursuits and extracurricular activities, enriching my overall educational experience. However, amidst these commendable facets, I must express a prevailing concern regarding the placement process. While the school offers guidance on crafting a compelling CV and securing placements, the onus of finding placements falls heavily on students' shoulders. This responsibility induces a considerable amount of stress and difficulty. In navigating this process, I yearn for greater institutional support and intervention. Elevating the school's involvement in facilitating placements would alleviate the burden on students and foster a more seamless transition into the professional realm. By offering tailored assistance, leveraging industry connections, and implementing proactive measures, the school can effectively address this pivotal aspect of our academic journey, empowering students to embark on fulfilling career pathways with confidence and assurance.

The university campuses boast remarkable locations spread across expansive areas, underscoring the depth and diversity of their offerings. However, while the campuses' geographical spread reflects their richness, accessibility to trains and metro stations remains distant, and the availability of buses is limited. Despite these challenges, it's important to note that this doesn't reflect negatively on the school. To mitigate transportation obstacles, the university proactively addresses the issue by providing a network of free buses. These buses serve as a vital link, swiftly transporting students from specific areas to the campus, ensuring efficient and timely arrivals. This proactive approach underscores the institution's commitment to facilitating seamless access to education and fostering inclusivity within its student body.

All in-class learning. Most lecturers are engaging and seem passionate about teaching you the content. They're very supportive and are happy to support you if you're struggling, you just need to ask. In first year, you're in class about 3-4 days, sometimes 5 days if you have lab practicals. Second year you're likely to be uni 4-5 days due to having more lab practicals. It slows down once the practicals are all completed. The lecturers offer lots of opportunities to get involved with the uni - course rep and the like - which I definitely recommend getting into, especially for networking.

On-campus laundry uses Circuit Laundry, like some other unis. I topped up my laundry when I needed it and calculated my top-ups so it'd be exactly how much I needed. That way I didn't have leftover money sitting in my balance. If you're local, do your laundry at home, it'll save you a lot. Every room has an ensuite, is decently sized, and every room is the same price. You share a kitchen with three other people so the kitchen (for its size) is quite a squeeze when everyone is in there at the same time. The interior is pretty old and traditional looking, with yellow wood, black carpets, and dull colours as these halls were built decades ago. So I'd definitely advise bringing things that make your room feel like home and not some hotel room!

lots of workshops that you can do a range of facilities which help you with projects however I feel like the lessons could be more interesting and have more things happening and learn different ways of working

is a good place to live relatively close to uni that you can walk to and the Wi-Fi is good. was fun the welcome party at the start of the uni year which defiantly allowed me to meet more people. however one thing i dislike is the problem with silverfish as well as the shower being rather small.

My course is taught mostly in person which I like. There are some online sessions but they are not live, they are pre-recorded and put up for us to learn from. I don’t like this as we can’t ask any questions if we need help and need to email the teacher later, which can take a long time. Additionally, some lectures do not put up quality powerpoints, they are very brief with minimal bullet points. This is not good

Best: Lessons are practical and proactive. Worst: Lessons can sometimes be a drag.
