the best aspect is the prestige and great teaching. I can say that I have been constantly challenged to do my best while at the university. Another great aspect is its great going abroad opportunities in many different countries; they usually partner with good schools. Worst would probably the way the school management dealt with prof strikes throughout the years. that often led to a lot of our classes cancelled as well as marking boycotts. Another aspect which as a law student I tend to not enjoy is that although the law department is one of QM's most successful departments, I do not see a particular emphasis on us having good facilities. the overall QM's facilities are good but they seem to be putting a lot of money into buildings for departments not specifically well ranked whilst we are given most of our classes in a decrepit building.

course is overall well taught, always had competent lecturers and tutors. But it has happened that the tutor was an inexperienced PhD student who only took on the class because they wanted to make some money.

I was in halls 3 years ago so maybe it is not the same quality for money but I thought that the price was decent for a room in London. The management was not always great as one of the two lifts in my building was always broken; both were by the time we had to move out in June.

I absolutely love my time at uni so far.All I would say for students that are thinking of coming to Queen Mary, or are due to start soon, would be to make sure that you work hard from the first year, and enjoy your time at uni!In terms of getting a place, make sure you get relevant work experience, and write it down on your personal statement, but don't stress too much about getting a place, as QM is quite lenient.
