As a physiotherapy student, what has made the biggest difference in my time here has always been the lecturers. They’re not just here to teach and leave. They genuinely care. The practical labs for physiotherapy are well-equipped and give us a real feel of clinical settings. There are chill spots to unwind between classes, and the library has become my go-to hideout when I need quiet time or a productivity boost.
