00:36 good place I'd say. There's a lot of students here so there's a big community of students and

00:42 both local and international students so you have a lot of different types of people which is good

00:50 I guess. So it's a good place. Yes absolutely, my son came here so it was great for him.

01:00 What was his experience here then? He just had great friends, he liked the vibe of the city,

01:06 he liked his accommodation, it wasn't too far away from home. Oh that's good. Did he come home

01:12 quite a lot? He did, but we did come up here to see him as well. Oh good. But it felt safe where

01:19 he was later at night because the student accommodation is fairly close, you're not

01:24 walking too far out. Yeah, which uni was it he went to? It was only at Calvier Fallon. Yeah,

01:31 yeah, which sort of area was he for his accommodation? Near Wellington Street. Okay,

01:44 Street. Sorry, can't remember what it was called. Oh yeah, absolutely yeah. I went here a few years

01:49 ago, graduated in 2020 and I loved it. Yeah, the nightlife was good, with the Hallam just being

01:54 there it was so convenient in the city, it was great. Yeah, and did you get involved with the
