Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
To be honest i think that the standards that this uni has are shocking. For eample as mentioned before, the exams, essays are the sort of things that can be written in an hour and without references or books - can easily get away with lifting material off the internet as they don not check and they do not care.

Make sure that you have an isic card it will make things more expensive. Do not come here if you are racist, narrowminded, do not like being perved on as you walk down the street every day.

Business ethics was fantastic! Nation and identity was great aswell. Do not ever do Europe calling project honestly, its a bad idea, so many people had bad experiences with it and it just causeda lt of heartache.

Personal comments
To be honest it was a litle disappointing. Although the house was close to the University it was in a very poor area and socially i didnt feel safe being outside on my street of residence after 8pm. Also had problems in the house that were not dealt with adequately by the housing association, DUWO who really dont care.
