From an international student's perspective (non caucasian):

Racism - Ever pervasive. Both overt and covert racism are rampant. International students are considered inferior and treated with contempt. A large number of international students face racial abuse on a regular basis. Complaints lead to university 'investigations' which always exonnerate the culprits because of endemic triabilism. In all its years of existence not one university academic has ever been fired or punished for wrong doing. Students and staff at all levels are racist be it undergraduates or postgraduates, lecturers, administrators, college porters or temporary staff.

Tribalism - Most of the teaching and administrative staff has been at the university for decades. Triablism is endemic to such an extent that the laws of the land and of the university code of practice are merely tools to torment anyone who dares to question or complain.

Mediocrity - Most of the teaching is of poor quality. No department is immune as the rotten standards transcends departmental boundaries. Many departments obtain highest rankings in national research assessment exercises but that is merely on the basis of their research outputs. Teaching quality is horrendous in most courses.

Narrow mindedness - Most academics and administrators are narrow minded and totally unreceptive of critisism about any shortcomings in their way of functioning. Those complaining are 'punished' which scares everyone else from coming forward with complaints.

My sincere advice to international students is to stay away from this university at all costs. If you have no other option then don't be foolish enough to try and fight the system. All you will get for your efforts is pain and suffering.
