| Comment | I used to teach there, so may be biased, but anyway:
1. It's fine, *occasionally* you hear about muggings, but apparently it's mostly people who were obviously vulnerable (e.g. drunk and/or alone). Just avoid what's obviously sketchy in the dark (lanes, riverside paths, etc.).
2. Good - you can also use the facilities at the other (bigger, but busier) campus which is 15-20mins walk away. The lecturers will do their best to get you through, if you're willing to put the work in - if you don't like the way a particular lecturer teaches something, ask another one about anything that doesn't make sense.
3. Plenty - see below though. Remember, there's officially no alcohol allowed in the halls.
4. Avoid the buses if you can - they're overpriced. Walking is better for anything under a couple of miles.
Your biggest issue may be workload - depending on the course, you can be in classes 35 hours per week (NOT counting studying), this is considerably more than "full-time" in typical universities/colleges, and at a similar level of difficulty. If there's anything you don't understand, get on top of it ASAP. |
