It's been fantastic and great fun! Coventry doesn't always have the best reputation for being a nice city however it has completely exceeded my expectations. I am doing great in university, enjoying my placement year and its all down to the fantastic support I've received from the uni! The Faculty of Business & Law Employment Support Team at my university are fantastic. I am currently on a placement year and I couldn't have done it without them! They encouraged me to start applying by informing me of how important placement years are, helped me with my CV and cover letter and helped me with interviews. My Placement Adviser even sent me good luck messages before my interviews! I also had various careers modules in my first and second year that helped me with my employability; the Employment Support Team also organise employers to come in and do presentations whcih is also a great help! My university's facilities are excellent. They have just renovated the library so that it is more modern and have really listened to complainants that there wasn't enough computers as they have now opened up additional rooms with many more computers in!

It has been a wonderful experience since I am here. As already said, it was quite stressful planning everything before I arrived. But the Uni is great and has a good and positive atmosphere. Really enjoy it!university’s facilities? They are very modern and I love to be at the University. In fact, I am there more often than at home. The library is GREAT and has such good working spaces. The Hub is a great place to stay at and most buildings have more places where one can study. That is MUCH better than my German Uni! university’s facilities?
