The student union regularly hosts fun events that help keep the student experience exciting. The facilities are great for studying—we have dedicated study rooms that work well for both solo sessions and small group work, especially when we need privacy for coding projects. Student life has a good balance, especially for a commuter like me. I can attend my lectures, use the free time between classes to hit the gym (which has all the necessary equipment), wrap up my lectures, and still get 2 to 4 hours to review my work before heading to boxing club, which starts at a time that lets me get home in time for dinner.
