My opinion of this university is that it has a great work/life balance. I have never felt as though the workload is too overwhelming but there is also enough to keep me engaged and passionate about my subject. I also found it very easy to make friends both within my course and outside of my course. The social culture at this university, although different from a city university still means a lot is going on and local places to visit, as well as the fact that London is so close.
