I did the Foundation Physics last year, returning for my first year this year, so we will be on the same course. I can answer some of these questions.
Quality of teaching, was for the most part good, some departments better than others. I cannot pass comment on thw Physics and Maths department lecturers and tutors, as we were taught Physics by the Engineering department.
The Admin staff of the Physics department are top class, having been the foundation rep for the Physics course I have spent a little time in meetings with them, and most of the lecturers and tutors were very nice and well involved.
Library I think must be finished by now, it is massive, and well stocked. Has it's own cafe, and tons of space, computer facilities and rooms.
The campus is great, and has it's own bars and shops.
The city is big, and has alot of venues, and shopping centres. Everything you need is within a 5 minute walk of the campus anyway.
See you in september.
