I lived on campus during my first year, and it was a fantastic experience. Exploring the campus was a delight, my flatmates and I used to go on walks all the time. It was also very safe at any time, day or night. The convenience of being close to the library, classes, and lectures made the overall living experience both practical and enjoyable
