Advantages: friendly uni, good night life

Disadvantages: student fees :(

Having attended UU in both Jordanstown and Magee College, i feel i am in a good position to give my opinion on the University.

I attended Magee for 3 years while doing my degree, and although the facilities were often criticised, i never personally found that this held me back in any way.

Magee college is set in Derry City, (or L'Derry) , in a friendly area with ample private student housing (although some landlords have been known to take students for a ride) It has two canteens, a students union, shop, careers building, Science shop, student support rooms and of course computer labs and lecture theatres. In comparison to other Uni's, Magee is very small, but its compactness adds to the charm of the place, and whatever you may not find on campus will certainly be available after a short walk up town in Northern Ireland's second city.

Art students, up until recently have been given a raw deal resource-wise at UU Magee, but now with the addition of a new building on-campus devoted entirely to the arts, students can avail of brand spanking new facilities.

The almost new Learning Resource Centre is also an impressive sight... three floors of books and new computers. Any book can be borrowed from any university in the UK by contacting reception.

Night life revolving the Uni consists of the Students Union Bar (can be expensive) or more popularly "Earth" nightclub, which does a great student night on a tuesday! Many of my friends who came to magee to Uni have never left the city, finding it friendly and cosmopolitan!
