The University isn't in the countryside. Hull is a city. The campus is lovely granted but its not some quiet rural area! I know the picture looks rural and countrysidey and they do make the campus look lovely, but have a look at the uni on google maps! I would suggest you visit it though if you want to go there. Everyone I know loves it, so that would never be a problem, but you really should visit before you commit 3 years of your life to living there!
Library is the Brynmoor Jones Library. Lovely place and well equipped.
