“What I like about the campus is there are a lot of facilities here. The Crosslands bar is a nice place to sit and have a dinner or lunch and there’s the Hub dining hall. There are so many places you can sit. I know this sounds weird, but my favourite thing is the decoration, you have pictures in every corner of the place.”
