Personal comments
The accommodation was very bad. I had to clean my entire room including the walls and bathroom. At night students would congregate outside the halls playing loud music up to 5am. Security is very poor and often I would need to call the Police. I lost weight and became mentally as well as physically exhausted. When I approached staff regarding these issues there was no response. The considerable costs of the accommodation does not mean students get what they pay for.

The location was awful: in the most ramshackle area of the city which is, furthermore, notorious for its high rate of criminality

Very competent 
Cover of all areas within Jewellery Studies. 
Exponential growth in all jewellery areas.
Excruciating painful learning experience. 
No pedagogy & some mean teachers & colleagues. 
No compassion, for foreigners. 
Risk of developing severe depression. 
Not only my case but many cases of jewellery students. 
Not meant for sensitive artistic souls.

The University needs to include in its mission statement the definition of "academic life". Until it does I do not see how it will improve in the foreseeable future.
