Huddersfield comp science

Was just wondering out of the people that have been there, did you enjoy it?

I chose there over hull because of the amount of math modules involved (I love math) and also the modern look to the building!

Is it recommended to get a laptop or do people generally use paper and the universities terminals?

What OS would you suggest for this degree? Linux, Mac?

Also as a mature student I might not have as many a level mathematical concepts in memory as my younger counterparts, I'm looking to get a head start over the holidays, would you recommend learning java syntax or brushing up on math before the official start date?
