  City University
Libraries:
Plenty of books in the two main libraries. There are also smaller departmental facilities.
Computing:
Pretty good provision and access. Your own equipment is never a disadvantage though.
Sports:
Pretty good really. Pitches are shared with Kings College and are not too far away. There is a sports centre owned by the university with squash courts, a gym and a pool and leisure suite. Boaty types have use of the Queen Mary Sailing Club facilities.
Disabled Students:
A section of the accommodation has been adapted and both new and old buildings have pretty good access. Disabled students are represented by a disability officer.
Student Welfare:
Counsellors and medical staff abound to make sure you don't go wrong.
Parking:
Shall I die laughing now or later?
University Shops:
The SU shop is good for sweets and stationery. The amount of good shops locally means that it would be foolish to sell a wider range.
University Bookshops:
There is a dedicated branch of Waterstones on site and plenty of other bookshops locally.
Banking:
There was a slight screw up on the banking front at the recently. There used to be a branch or Barclay's Bank on site as well as two Halifax cash machines. However, the Halifax decided to withdraw its cash machines (because Barclay's got too much custom), and the empty cash machine space was reclaimed by the college shop. Then Barclay's - and this is the funny bit - decided to close its branch! Now how's that for caring banking? Despite this there are branches of HSBC and NatWest a short walk away.
Transport Policy:
None
Green Areas:
The college has a small area of green which is packed out in the summer. Other than that you have to go West for parks.
