So ds is on the Penryn campus, which is a mile or so away from Falmouth, (uphill)
Student accommodation in the first year was very good, high standard, I think a lot of it is new. Ds chose accommodation in Penryn. Lots of walking and lots of steps up and down to the campus, but that is the same all over Falmouth and Penryn.
The uni has been really good. The Penryn campus is more the arts end I think, and has loads of studio spaces. Ds is doing computing, and went there because it has a games setup and lots of interaction between different disciplines. But has changed course to robotics.
For several reasons ds is not a very typical student, doesn't do night life, and fairly quiet. It took a while to make friends, but has now settled and has a great group.
The uni is very supportive, he asked getting diagnosed with ADHD. He is on a list for that but in the meantime uni has provided all the support that they would if he had a diagnosis, including some high tech stuff for his computer (note taking apps etc)
He is actually in his last year. Second year accommodation was hard to find, and the place he ended up in wasn't great. He is now sharing with good friends, but the house is really small and poky (and damp when the heating isn't on, but that is Cornwall). When I compare it to the places my older ds had in Nottingham, they aren't great. The issue with finding accommodation for second year was mainly finding a friendship group.
Buses between Falmouth and Penryn are fine, pretty regular. Ds took his bike but never used it because of the hills. He then bought his older brothers car, so that he and his friends could explore Cornwall a bit more.
