Impressive building !!! The whole university is worth visiting!
Wayland Twiston Davies
The GUU Beer Bar is exactly what a student drinking place should be. Nothing fancy, just basic seating and cheap beer. I was amused by the signs commemorating various, probably ill-advised feats of consumption.
Alexander Hartmann
Very beautiful University. And worthwhile to visit its inner gardens and halls. It will remind you the Harry Potter world
