I went to the open day yesterday. I loved the campus but then started to see a potential downside. Is it isolating/boring to live on campus?
There's 2 bars, as well as cafes/restaurants, but I imagine the bars get full up quick, also there didn't appear to be enough seating for the eateries. The library didn't have as much seating as I expected for the amount of students who attend either. If I live on campus, I can't park my car so will have to use the bus to go into town, the town didn't seem like it would have good night life? The dorms near campus had a small kitchen with a table that could only fit 2 people, which made me think less socialising. I am a mature student, and am a bit worried the social things to do will consist mainly of sitting in the park/field areas or queueing constantly.
Would appreciate info from anyone else who has been there.
(The other open days I am going to will be portsmouth, nottingham, plymouth, leicster, sussex, sheffield, southhampton)
