- This question is phrased weirdly - not sure if a high star rating means little or large financial impact or that the uni has been hood with helping. Regardless, the fees for international students makes no sense compared to home students, especially for those doing a year abroad. Cost of living is high, tuition is high, accommodation costs are high, I could go on and on

- The lecturers are very talented, but sometimes dealing with admin is time-consuming. The uni also makes changes to the teaching structure etc without hearing what students think

- All lectures are super talented, but doing a dual degree there's very little room to chose modules

- It's fine - a lot of chairs are stained and the chairs in the classroom are quite clunky. The library has a lot of nice spots to study but the main computer room is too dari and without any natural light
