- Some of the professors - preference thing probably but some professors were not good at lecturing.
- Little to no social events

- I had a friend living in London so i moved with him and 1 more roommate into a 3-bedroom apartment. we found the place on Spareroom. Monthly rent is 800 pounds, all bills included. I am not sure but if people can afford it, then student accommodation is usually the best. My accommodation is about 40 mins away (20 mins walk to the nearest station and 23 mins by train).

- Everything was very good. I came here for exposure and I did achieve that. Meeting with people from all over the world and even the faculties made the learning different.
