The upside
A huge range of student societies exist to cater for every possible taste and many events are held. The Students' Guild constantly strives to listen to students and do what its students would like it to. The Guild is representative of the student body, and has enacted changes such as freezing rent on university accommodation. The mathematics department is full of very supportive staff that go the extra mile to help you succeed. Personal tutors are always available to talk and speak objectively as opposed to trying to keep you in their subject.

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.
