Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
Is still one of the cheapest solution and easy to find when you're stranger.
Also a good way to know other people.

Frightening when you are used to something else, but overall good experience : there is what you need and not what you don't need

The accomodation was acceptable, although it could have been better.
I was in a residence flat with other five flatmates from Scotland ant other countries. I think it was a very enjoying experience.

Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
The University is Ok. There a lot of different types of studies but in general the departments are small.
The Campus life is very funny and it exist a lot of students associations. You have the possibility of knowing people from a lot of countries.

Personal comments
The U of A student union is really nice and I would recommend going there at least once. The Priory is an experience, especially for Aerican students who ahve never seen a church renovated and turned into a nightclub!

“MSc in Clinical Nutrition (online)”
Daphné S
Spain, Graduate
Nutrition, 2023
Overall
I completed my MSc in Clinical Nutrition remotely from the university campus. This program allows for the flexibility needed for working individuals compared to those who would do a full-time study on campus. Since the courses were entirely online, students could study from home, especially for those in lockdown in their own country due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Pros
The ability to chose optional courses alongside your core courses.
Cons
The online student needs to be disciplined in their time-management.
