Quality of Life

The quality of life as a student is affected and will be affected by a number of factors. Positively, one factor with a positive effect on quality of life at the university of Glamorgan is the sense of security. Unlike the university experience in west-Africa, Glamorgan offers a secure, quiet and conducive environment for learning. Although the the town of Trefforest where it is located may possess some racist tendencies, the town remains a relatively safe environment for students to live both on and off campus.

Also, the university facilities provide basic social amenities as well as a large pool of information resources. Particularly, the university's wireless internet network can be accessed anywhere on campus as well as an internet-based school network. This makes information easily accessible and the school network allows each student to keep track of academic work and relevant schedules as well as stay abreast of current university affairs.

In contrast, one negative aspect that may affect quality of of life at the university of Glamorgan is the stress of coursework and academic life. Students studying more complicated courses such as engineering and law-related courses may encounter large volumes of assignments and research which may result in sleepless nights and long hours of studying without rest and this can be deemed unhealthy.
