Besides providing top quality education, the Teesside University’s fabulous facilities are really something to brag about. It is noticeable that the university has invested big bundle of money into perfecting the facilities for the benefits of students.

Most buildings such as the learning resource centre and the student union are new and purpose-built. University properties of traditional old buildings are also well taken cared with brand-new-state-of-the-art facilities. All amenities are at the best conditions, furnishings are complete and new too.

Learning Resource Centre

This is the place where students crowd up to study, research or use the materials and information available. There is a reason why the LRC is such a popular venue; the LRC combines library services with IT-based information and multimedia sources. Making your way around the library is easy, consisting of three floors, each floors are neatly organized to house study materials for every subject. There are information points in every floor where staff are available to help students to get the most out of the sources.
The best service the LRC provides is that you don’t have to be in the LRC to enjoy the services they have. For instance, you can check loans and renew loans online and even postal service for the photocopies of journal you requested. Besides study materials in the LRC, there are still ample of electronic journals and ebooks.
Plus, there are efficiently working scanners and printers located in every floor. No fuss, no congestion at all.

Student Union

The student union is the place to be if you want to catch a quick lunch or just want to sit and relax a long day of lectures. There’s a student union shop where you can get snacks, basic stationery and other miscellaneous items. The Studio Café in second floor offers affordable and wholesome meal. If you fancy a beer or wanted to gather with university mates, the Terrnce Bar is a nice place to hang out. On the top floor is The Hub where it goes alive in the nights. I personally was happy that The Hub is strictly for students only, there’re responsible coordinators around The Hub, The Terrance Bar and the entrance of the Student Union to make sure everything is under control.

The Student Union Reception is also the place you go to whenever you need information, directions or is looking for a job. There is a job centre in the Student Union where u can enquire and get advises on getting a part time job. The main reception in Student Union also provides binding and laminating services at a reasonable price. How convenient is that.

There are many more facilities available for students in Teesside University which this blog will try to cover each at a time. For now, it is good that you get familiarize with the university facilities by visiting the university official site. There’s even virtual video of the university campus.

Yup, I went to London! I love it there!

I think London is a wonderful place to be in. There're so many things to see! Most buildings are as old as a hundred years and very well maintained. History felt like just yesterday.

Royce and I arrived in the middle of the night using Air Asia and landed at Stansted Airport. For those who are using coaches to Central London, it's best if you book about 2 hours upon arrival, you will never know how long it'll take to get through immigration. As for me, my bus was the following morning, we had to wait for 5 hours or so, I actually wiki to check where can I go and I get to know people actually sleep on the airport grounds while waiting for their flights the folloing day as rides to airport in the middle of the night can be really expensive. So it's actually common for people to whip out their sleeping bags and sleep at corners of the airport, so did I.

It was a tiring experience but a wonderful one being the first time Royce and I stepped foot far far away from home, away from my family but closer to my sister, Cindy as the reason why I visited London was to see her after a year of not seeing her. After we checked into our B&B at Marble Arch, she practically made us walk from Marble Arch, Oxford Street, Bond Street, Piccadilly Circus to Leicester Square within 30 minutes. Beat my record! I almost faint! Be reminded I was suffering from jetlag.

For those who loves shopping, Oxford Street is the place! There's Primark (offers VERY CHEAP trendy clothings), Marks and Spencers (reasonable and high quality goods), Body Shop, Accesorize (my favourite accessories shop), Sports goods like Nike and Adidas, Top Shop, LV, you name it they got it! UK brands I meant.
