• The teaching faculty is so amazing and supportive, no matter how many doubts I have, useful or silly, they are always there to help, whether in class or outside. It is very easy to contact them over email, and they respond within one or two days. null
• The culture is very open where teachers see everyone as equals and are not authoritative like it is in India. Every student has a choice to participate whether it is lectures or activities or anything. null
• All and I mean all information from lectures or extra coursework is available to us whether we attend or miss the lectures. There is a site used here called Blackboard where students can keep track of assignments, exams, dissertations, coursework, materials marks and feedback. null
• We get feedback for literally everything which is amazing because then we know how to improve our work. null
• There are so so many clubs and societies to join, which helped me to meet different people, improve my network and make more friends. DRAWBACK— joining any society here is paid, for membership, you have to pay a small fee of £5 for a year. null
• There are so so many events organised by the university to choose from, for example, I attended a few of them which included pottery painting and wine, making your own LUSH (bath bombs), jewellery making, etc. A small fee is required to participate. null
• There are so many free stalls almost every day for different things in exchange for signing up or taking part in the uni-related events, for example, free brownies, free cupcakes, free pizza slices, free small skincare local products, free tote bags and so much more. Another example, on Halloween, the school of management organised a free Halloween theme stall with pretzels, marshmallows, crisps, a chocolate fountain, and loads of toppings to choose from. null
• There are so many workshops to attend for networking, jobs and cv, uk Job market, for dissertation, academic writing, statistics and so much more. They are free for the students, you just have to register. null
• The university also organises day trip to different tourist attractions in the city as well as to other cities every Saturday and Sunday. For example, I have been to York and Manchester through this and attended the Harry Potter museum, all organised by the uni. — You have to PAY to take part. null
• The uni also organises a lot of career fairs for placements, volunteer roles, and graduate roles, where companies come in and talk about their work. Great way to build a network and pitch yourself as a candidate and overall learn about the job market. null
• The uni website is so helpful, literally everything a student needs is available there, from tech support to library support, dissertation handbook, extra materials, activities, parties, accommodations, career support, everything is available. null
• The buildings have an employability hub where you can get your cvs and job apps reviewed and receive great suggestions for improvement with one on one convo. null
• The uni also organises many bar crawls where students can go out, drink, party and more. It is very safe as chaperones are always there and everyone is taken care of. null
• There are very good cafés inside the buildings where you can eat or have a coffee between lectures. null
• There are two - three libraries and study spaces where you can go and study after lectures. I use that all the time. null
• There are a lot of opportunities for leadership roles, and to gain more skills. For example, I was a sustainability project assistant, and 60 marketing project assistant, both free of cost and provided by the uni. I even earned £625 from my marketing project. null
• FOR UNI ACCOMMODATIONS— those living in uni accom have special events organised just for them which is totally free of cost. For example, I attended yoga sessions, book readings, and a petting zoo. null

• I liked that they were organised with everything but at the same time, they needed to listen to the students more. null
