hey. i'm a first year psychology student (single honours) and love the course! it's so laid back. I'll warn you not to think it's going to be like A-Level psych (considering you studied it at alevel) it's a lot different. there's more math and biology concerned. other than that it's great. the lecturers are really helpful and very approachable. the timetable for the first year is amazing. at the moment i have 2 days off a week, next week i'll have 3 days off!
the uni itself is located right in the centre of town more or less and like less than 5 minutes from every accommodation.
whatever you do, don't get your student loan and think you're rich, shopping for food (and the essential chocolate and alcohol supplies) will make a great dent in your bank account lol if you tend to worry about cash (like me) then i'd suggest budgeting yourself every week.
the town itself has loads of great shops and it has market days with international stalls etc... i'd suggest the christmas market if you have a lot of patience and love being in the christmas spirit!
do you know where you'll be living yet? or hope to be living? anything else you'd like to know?
