Personal comments
I lived on campus, in Horlock Court. The student union shop, HSBC bank, the university bookshop and the laundrette were located on Horlock complex, and adjacent to it was the sports centre, which was really convenient. My bedroom was supplied with high speed internet broad band internet access and I had my own phone. About the fees: it was a bit expensive but it was worth it. I really enjoyed living there.
