It is good for academics, and the staff are very friendly. You will get so much exposure.
Tips: Don't have too many expectations and whatever you are seeing on social media is not going to be the same. This is really going to be tough and most people atleast once, will regret the decision in the initial period. After getting some part time and friends that will be okay, or you will get used to it. So prepare yourself mentally to do everything on your own.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Under current UK rules gaining ILR or permanent settlement is still possible but increasingly challenging. The traditional route allows people on qualifying visas such as skilled worker or family visas to apply after about five years of continuous lawful residence. The government is considering changes that could extend this period to ten years or more.

Good opportunities and scope.
Tips: The community is very welcoming and classes are engaging as well. The format is more independent here and you will have to advocate for yourself. The lecturers are passionate about their lessons and reciprocity is expected in the classrooms so try to be more participative. The campus is very global with a good support system in place.
Dislikes (Internships): Internships are something you'll have to figure out for yourself as the university can help out to an extent rest you'll be on your own. See if you can get any tie ups with places or ask professors for help, as they can be quite useful as well here.

Rest is pretty good here.
