We obviously think so! Our students enjoy the small class sizes and close knit campus feel. We've been told we're a friendly bunch too :smile:

Is there anything specific about the university you would like to know?

No thanks, I'm not even a mature student. I just like asking questions :wink:

This isn't my experience of UoS, and I'm a mature student attending but sadly not being taught my pathway. Was misled about the course content and equipment. Also had a lecturer encourage the class to laugh at my disability. Not much good to say about the Uni really. Toilets are always leaking, often full of excrement. Library books outdated for my pathway. Taught web design from the millennium bug era, and not much else yet. One year to go, and hoping they start teaching cybersecurity, or even mentioning it would be great!! PLEASE RESEARCH OTHER UNIS!!!!
