“I have loved moving to Belfast. It is an absolutely fantastic city for socialising – large enough to include stunning public spaces such as the Botanic Gardens and thriving enough to offer a varied social life, meaning that all students are able to find a scene to suit them.”

“Belfast is a great city. It is less frantic and much cosier compared to other capital cities. The University is located within the city centre, which is a huge luxury that a lot of my friends at other universities don’t have.”

“The best thing about Belfast has to be the wide variety of people either studying or working here, who come from all walks of life! I think the different types of people that you can bump into everyday makes this city and University one of the most interesting and exciting places to be!”
