  • The university is great near London and Watford so you can travel and get a nightlife there. Living away from home gives you the chance to get mature and independent.

  • Iam a student at this university and iam in my 2nd year and I quite liked the academics of the university. Teachers are really good and dedicated for students. I find the famous students union nothing but useless stuff. Social life is not that lively but with good friends it always happening.
