Course
Feedback on assessments are always released within 20 working days and is normally pretty detailed, which is good. Not all staff's lectures are hugely helpful and only some use lecture recording software such as Panopto.

Accomodation
I live in Spennymoor, Co. Durham and commute through to Newcastle on public transport. It's a cheaper place to live, that is close to my partner's workplace, and the commute is cheap. I quite like the bus ride. I have good transport links to everything I need.

League table rankings
Here's where this university ranks in the three main league tables (where available), which are calculated using a combination of stats that they each weight in different ways. They’re a handy guide but don’t offer the full picture – just because a university is top (or bottom) of the league tables doesn’t mean it is (or isn’t) the right choice for you.
