Overall Rating
Good
Good access to toilet and the lifts have plenty room for a wheelchair along with several other people. Student union is very user friendly however doors and the odd step can prove tricky, due to how heavy the fire doors are, resulting in a quick shutting. Often doors only open one way. The train station especially was quite tricky due to a very long wheelchair access ramp. Library is accessible with an easy rolling carpet however books are often out of reach with thin corridors.
Disabled Access In and Around
Good
It was fairly enabling, there was always a ramp nearby the steps.
Parking & Transport
Good
There were a few of them with parking spaces near the main building and accommodation.
Accessible Toilets
Excellent
Weren't huge but facilities were fine. Might take a while to get used to.
Staff
Excellent
All staff were courteous and willing to help. Most lecturers are trained in some way relating to wheelchair mobility and health.
Additional Information
Overall a pleasant experience.
