- I am an international student and I feel like the university has done nothing nor at least have this in consideration when collecting certain debts. Financial welfare would be so helpful, which meant we would get to focus more on our studies and not worry about finances.

- The university is located in an area that is a bit far from central London. So there is that need of being in a vibrant environment to aid in socialisation. There also seems to be very little inclusivity to minority ethnicities. I wish there was more representation. The university could also do more to bring students together.
