Si lo hubiera sabido...

How much cheaper and nicer the private housing in Sunderland is, compared to living on campus. Secondly, that I would have love to stay there longer!

Recomendación personal

This is the place for you if you want make friends from all over the world, have loads of fun and in the meanwhile, study some pretty interesting subjects. Sometimes the bureaucratic way of dealing things in the university can be annoying but you just have to patient. Everything happens slower than in Finland.

Comentarios finales

Sunderland is a great place to live: not too small, not too big. And it only takes about 30 mins to Newcastle by Metro. The weather can be pretty dull sometimes and the wind is very strong occasionally. The city is 3 hours from Edinburgh, so Scotland is worth visiting. If possible, take a laptop with you when you go to Sunderland. They'll get all the student houses connected to the Internet in spring 2004. There are not enough computers in the university libraries, so an own laptop will save you a lot of frunstration!

Comentario personal

I thought it was a bit small and I could not study very well with the brown and yellow walls surrounding me. However, the accomodation was very close to my classes and gave me a fantastic opportunity to meet new people and so I enjoyed it thoroughly.

Comentario personal

I would suggest to students from other countries to open up a bank account in England, because if you always take out money from the ATM/ cash point, you get charged an absolute fortune everytime you withdraw money! I lost a lot of money that way.

Recomendaciones de cursos

Just make sure to let students know prior to the course how the courses are graded. I thought class participation and class attendance counted in your final grade but it didn't and I thought I was going to get a better grade then I actually did.

“One of the best experiences I could ask for.”

Not only has University of Sunderland been voted Best New University in the North East (Guardian University Guide 2012), the Department of Law has recently been ranked Best in the UK for Teaching Excellence (Sunday Times University Guide 2012). The teaching staff and tutors have been by our side throughout the whole three years of our studies giving us the best education we could ask for. We also had access to two libraries until late night but also had the online library available 24/7. Regarding the campus, it was very safe with guards and securities and this was something that relieved our concerns for any violence or illegal acts.

A favor

face to face meetings with tutors for guidance on course or personal matters
