Facilities

Although it is a small cornish campus, it is only some 5 years old so enjoys great facilities. It

Libraries

We enjoy a big main library complete with bean bags and also a smaller law library which houses all the universities archives. The library also accommodates the 'film course' which is offered here and thus has a wide selection of DVD's available for rent. The fee's which you can incur for late return of books etc are minimal and you will find that all staff are friendly so will listen to pleas.

IT and computing

The university enjoys an amazing computing network, there is wireless internet available around most of the campus (including the student bar, the library and most lecture rooms). The student halls have non-wireless internet which is renowned for being a tad temperamental. You can hire a laptop (both Mac and PC) for up to a day should yours not be working and there is a good number of workstations with all the necessary programs.

Sports

There is a fully functioning gym on site which is great, the gym is run by a separate company so is a little more expensive than other university gyms but in return they offer classes and personal training. We have every other conventional sport that you can think of, we also offer extreme Frisbee, kung fu and have links with the horse riding stables near by. If however the university does not offer the sport you want, Truro (the largest city in the southwest) has a wide variety of clubs and isn't far.

Welfare

The welfare standard is amazing on campus, every member of university staff is eager to help and you are assigned on arrival a mentor (a third year) who guides you around your first year and is available if you need a friend or are just a little lost. There is also free counseling available or you can visit the 'welfare office' and seek advice there.

Healthcare

There is a doctors in the near by village of Penryn however, a nurse is on campus 2 days a week.

Shops

There is but the one shop on campus and prices arn't really student friendly, but for milk and bread it's a god send! There is a free bus which takes you to the local ASDA and back again every Monday and Thursday. Falmouth is only 15 minutes away by bus and has every shop or restaurant you could possibly need.

Restaurants

Banks

There is only 1 cash machine on campus.

Transport

There is a frequent bus service from campus (costing 50p for a single) however, cabs are cheap and if theres enough of you, you might find them more comfortable.
