- Libraries:
- There are two libraries. Founder's has all the historical books and stuff you can't borrow. The Main library has everything else. Between them they have a sizeable 230 000 volumes, but students complain that the facilities are too few. They also have rubbish opening hours.
|
- Computing:
- There are 200 machines with 24/7 public access and all halls are networked up so you can bring your own machine. It's a decent idea to bring your own equipment including a printer if possible as demand can be pretty high at peak times.
|
- Sports:
- There are squash and tennis courts, a pool and gym. There is also a sports hall and a croquet lawn. The big thing sports wise is the mountains though. Paradise for anyone who likes to beast themselves in the cold.
|
- Disabled Students:
- There are specially adapted facilities in some halls for disabled students. Access around campus is not good though. There is a fair bit of work still to be done as many of the buildings are quite old and need ramps. There are decent facilities for the hearing impaired.
|
- Student Welfare:
- The welfare set-up is pretty much entirely SU-run. They do a decent job though. Medical facilities are in town.
|
- Parking:
- Permit based, free and there's plenty of it. That's not something I get to write very often.
|
- University Shops:
- There is a shop in the main students' union building selling stationery and groceries.
|
- University Bookshops:
- There is a uni bookshop on campus
|
- Banking:
- Nothing on campus.
|
- Transport Policy:
- None, bring a car if you can.
|
- Green Areas:
- This section would be better titled 'built up areas.' They are far more difficult to find!
