  • Not a bad place to study, good night life and SU bar was good enough.

  • Some parts of the course are hard, some less hard.

  • My course (computing) is very interesting, fun and challenging; challenging in the sense that you want to do better. My study materials are very useful, the library have all the books I need for my study and leads me the right part to doing references, citation and quotation. My tutor, student representative, student support team are always there for me to make sure that am on the right path and am enjoying my course. My course computing is a very good course, it focus is on solving problems and bringing ideas to solving world problems.

What could be improved: My suggestions to improve the university are: A live chat should be made where student can communicate with each other about the course. Social activities and quiz. This will help the students bring out the best in them. Video lecturing which will help the students to understand the lecture better on their quite time.
Would you recommend this course?: Yes
