I really enjoy studying at Imperial College London, but as a warning be prepared to work very hard. I have often seen a queue round the block to get into the library at 9am on a Saturday morning. I do try and relax as well, but I generally find I do at least a few hours of work a day at least. My course is really good as it allows you to choose between a wide range of modules so you can choose how you would like to study. I also find that Imperials name goes along way in the job world and a lot of employers see Imperial as one of the best universities in the world. Also the accommodation is really good but it is expensive, so be prepared for that. My top tip for getting a place at Imperial is to know what you would like to get out of university and that will really help you at your interview, make sure you are really passionate about your course.

Campus life is whatever you make it. Because London is so big you have to seek it out, it’s not really there. The city life is great but really expensive. The uni is does not have a “campus” feel to it. The gym is good and the sports facilities are amazing. Some of the buildings are in bad condition and in need of a paint job but some other buildings are really great. There is lots of contact time with your professors and lecturers.
