    Whether these are sports facilities, the bar and shops on campus or the library facilities, these are important factors that students look for when looking for a university.

    • High-quality facilities 
    • Centralised / convenient facilities 
    • Cheap shop / bar / amenities 
    • Good library and library opening hours 
    • Good sports facilities
