With it being a campus uni, first year is the most relaxed experience in terms of living. No need to commute all lectures and seminar very close to halls (if you’re in the right one). The teaching standard is somewhat suspect and they’re not every open to ideas that contradict hardcore Marxism but with half a brain you learn to live with it. The only negative would be that for 9k a year I expect to be able to not have to pay for LITERALLY EVERYTHING. Things like societies shouldn’t have a membership fee but on campus food and drink is pretty cheap.
