“I loved the social life aspect of my experience, as there are many societies and clubs to choose from, which I would especially suggest making use of at the start of your first semester. I wish the timetables weren’t so spaced out between lectures, because sometimes I’ve had to wait around for my next class instead of finishing for the day.”
