London South Bank University

Best:
1. Amazing location (Central London)
2. Moderate tuition fee compared to other institutions.
3. Least expensive student accommodation as per location.
4. Breakfast and lunch meal prices being slashed to cope with Cost-of-Living crisis.
5. State of the art Laboratories. (I'm making organic solar cells for my dissertation, and the labs have all the equipment needed for fabrication and characterization such as Spin coaters, Evaporators, Glove boxes, Solar Simulator, Spectrophotometer etc.)
6. Limited student capacity (between 20-50 per module) for engineering courses. This means teachers can provide more attention to the students and help clear their individual doubts.

Overall, the university feels really modern with the automatic systems, and high-performance PCs, including iMacs, located in library. University has disability access and support everywhere on campus, which is a good thing in general. Everyone at the university including professors, students, and staff have a kind and friendly nature.

Worst:
1. One of my module leaders couldn't deliver his module very well.

There aren't other bad experiences that I have yet encountered as I have completed only my first semester at the university. I wish the university had an outdoor field to play sports like Tennis, football, cricket etc. (hence, the four stars for the 'Facility')

Overall, the accommodations were great for the cost. The shared spaces were well-equipped with amenities like room and space heaters, a microwave, kettle, oven, electric stove, bathtub, and two bathrooms for six flatmates. The individual rooms were a decent size and had private doors. Maintenance requests were promptly addressed. The common building being the best place to hangout, with its gaming consoles, pool table, foosball, arcade machine, and piano. However, there were a few areas for improvement such as adding full-size dress up mirrors in the rooms and updating the water taps and sinks to feel less outdated.
