- I was in private accommodation which was bought out by OBU so my accommodation was lovely. The of accommodation was run by unite though which there was separate problems. The library is very good. I wish there were more private study spaces though. But I can always manage to find a seat and study. The on-campus bars are very good and great for socialising.

- This is not reflective for next year and any other year in the future when we are at shiny new campus being built at the moment but at the minute our current site is a little old and OK but way past its prime time. Labs well stocked regardless and cafe has been redone so it’s still a nice place to work inside… mostly the outside which feels a little bleak at times!! Also travelling there from halls in Headington is annoying but buses regular and get you there quickly relatively speaking.

- Good university, move to shiny new site next year but this year is OK but not amazing site wise as we prepare to move. The staff are very good and 12 hours of contact hours a week is a good amount I feel. Nightlife is amazing in Oxford…. Food isn’t cheap here but other than that a lovely city too. The main site in Headington is lovely and modern with a fantastic library study area. The Brooke’s union is a little underwhelming and at the start of the year there aren’t many societies, however as people create new ones, you end up joining throughout the year!

- Oxford is amazing a city and you are eligible for the Oxford Union if you go to Brooke’s so there are fantastic debates and speeches happening many days of the week and you meet incredible people. Nightclubs pretty good but can be limited availability on very popular nights!
