The overall experience was good at my university. It fulfilled my expectations in most aspects. One downside is you don’t get a culturally diverse set of students. But it is specific to my course.

There are clubs for almost everything. You can join any number of clubs according to your interest. Some of them have a joining fee while most of them are free. The research facilities, library and sports in the university are top notch. You can get wifi on whole campus anywhere you go.

Overall experience in terms of quality of education is extremely good, course structure, staff, learning opportunities are wonderful. But from the placement perspective I can say it was not extremely good, in the economy like UK there are millions of people are trying to settle in this country whereas handful of them get the chance. To get a job with Tier 2 visa is extremely hard, I was lucky that I got one, but it is a real struggle. I advise everyone to get at least some work experience before coming here and prepare yourself to grind.

It is close to perfect. I really liked the University gym as well. It is easy to commute to the university. You can use public transport like buses ( bus pass is also very cheap) or you can buy your own bicycle (get it from facebook marketplace, going to be very cheap)
