• Luiza: “Throughout September you can purchase an amazing student deal which is way cheaper than the standard fee. ”

• Nicole : “One spot I can highly recommend to all students is the university gym – it has a variety of classes to choose from, is fully equipped with machines and has plenty of open space for stretching or individual workouts. I think it has been really helpful to have a space to release stress in between the high-pressure environment of my Masters course. ”
