  • I opted for a catered on-campus accommodation during my course. All prices were per person, per week, including fast WiFi, contents insurance and bills. Since my accommodation was on campus, I also had the porter facility, which meant that I could raise any concern I had and that I need not worry about security on campus.
  • Most buildings that housed students were close by, which was very great in terms of interacting with other students.

  • There are several opportunities but having an internship and required skills is crucial to stand out. Around 30% will easily find a job before they leave and by 6 months, a decent amount of 45-50% will end up securing a job. It takes time but surely people do get a full-time job. Students apply through graduate stream. Networking on LinkedIn. On average, the pay would be more than 25,000-30,000 GBP. Students use LinkedIn career workshop opportunities at college.
  • Fairs and workshops at college held now and then help students to get connections. Besides that, department talks and events also help in this regard. Networking worked quite well for students. One can also access the college career advice team, and work on the CV. refinement and also give mock interviews.

  • I stayed in University accommodation. They are generally more costly than private accommodation. But as I got a scholarship so it was easier for me to get it. Plus it is inside the campus itself so daily commuting was easy for me. There are a lot of groups on Facebook where students share information about availability of rooms. So that's definitely worth checking out. 
  • My monthly rent was 800 pounds. But if you go to a private accommodation then you can get cheaper options like ,400 or 500 pounds a month. 
  • With university accommodation there is an added advantage of safety. That's why I considered it.

  • I was staying in ensuite room with shared kitchen for 8 people in Sheffield Hall(University accommodation) I applied through university accommodation site and had asked me and my friend to be together and we did get it together.
  • I paid 720 pounds/month and all the bills were included. We had well equipped kitchen with toaster, induction, water boiler, microwave, fridge and oven. Also, the kitchen was cleaned every week and the bins were cleared thrice in every week.
  • Some of the appliances were old and needed to be replaced. So we had to create ticket for the same
  • It was 10 min walk from the university, but there were other accommodations which were nearer but were costly.

Aspects that drove me to accepting the offer of admission was the central location of the university. I also was drawn to the fact that the university was strong and well known for the LLB Law program I was attending.

I feel very strongly and the conservation of animals, especially marine animals. There is a growing problem with plastic pollution and it needs to stop, we are killing our oceans FAST. I joined this course so that I am able to help in many ways other can't and hopefully save the planet.
