Overall a nice university, with lots of green space with a clear love for environmental sustainability. However, has had some issues with certain dorms - with them being pretty disgusting. Also, the university failed to take action against some students compromising the safety of the female students.
I really enjoyed playing football for the university and making friends abroad. What I think can improve is my financial situation, being abroad and taking student loans with tuition being high. My overall experience has been a positive one, learning a lot about myself and gaining perspective.
The Msc programme at the University is run very well
