Advantages: Nice people, friendly staff

Disadvantages: Does'nt look like the prospectus

I recently went to view the University and the Biological Science department for an interview/open day and I was quite pleasently surprised. I stayed with a friend in University accomodation and apart from the fact that the rooms were quite small, overall everything looked in order (no mice, cockroaches etc like a University I visited no names mentioned...Surrey). But I was at first dissapointed that nothing looked the way it does on the prospectus. It was a bit more dreary and lacked lustre. The buildings looked cold and intimidating but the people there were very friendly in some cases too friendly. The science department was very impressive and apart from the fact that I couldn't understand some of the lectureres due to the impossible accent, I would say its not a bad place to spend 3 years of your life.
