I love the friendly atmosphere on campus, I felt at home straight away and since then it’s just got better. When I came to look round on an Open Day I was convinced it was the place for me. Life on campus is great, there are loads of people to talk to and always something to do. The facilities are good too, whether you’re studying, socialising or being sporty, and there is plenty of support, you can find someone to go and talk to if you need some help.
