What students say about photography

The best thing would be making new friends from different cultures while learning life skills that will help you in life. The worst, I would say not having the Messy Monday, which does not go ahead anymore, which would make it hard for people to socialise and make new friends

What students say about photography

What makes my uni a great place to study is their student support. They try to help their students in any way possible to ensure that students get the best out of their education. I think it would be better if the university put more effort into societies and clubs such as sporting clubs and teams . It would help the university to have more of a community and really showcase other talents other than what students already study on their courses. My university do have societies and some sporting teams, however some of the societies don’t run anymore and it’s not made to be as big as it was when I first heard about it before I joined uni. I think it’s important to have that feel of community and university culture and to also show the inclusiveness of different cultures, groups and activities in which people associate them selves with.

What students say about photography

I love being able to use the facilities and having access to all the tech required for my course specifically. The kit store is great, and having areas where I can go and study with everything I need is beneficial to my learning. I personally think the societies at Ravensbourne could be largely improved. It feels very much like an after thought, and the engagement with them don’t appear to exist. I think only a few societies are big, but compared to some other universities, I wish there was more hype and engagement for people to make societies, join them and connect. That’s my biggest flaw.

What students say about photography

With the SMT once again announcing a detrimental restructure to the university, roughly around 300 teaching staff are being threatened with redundancies if they are viewed as not making a 'valuable' contribution to Goldsmiths. A vast majority of departments have been threatened with teaching and module cuts, including English, once again. It is ironic that they are saying they want to make back/ save around 20 million, yet they are looking to have an AI centre whilst neglecting the humanities departments that reside at the very heart of Goldsmiths. They do not have much care for practising free speech on campus as the SMT wanted to 'arrest' the group of us that had 1.) occupied a building on campus in protest against the way the university has conducted their weak response to the ongoing genocide in Palestine and 2.) those that actually took part in the protests that occurred on campus. How can you label your university as a 'creative powerhouse' and a 'melting pot' of ideas when you've conducted yourself in such a backward manner? The welfare team has little regard for you. I had applied for a hardship bursary, yet I was met with a foodbank voucher that could only be used on the week it was issued and for a place that was miles away from accom and only open for 4 hours on a Friday. Do not come to this uni if you are seeking a place that values academic integrity and the preservation of your course; alongside your welfare as a student. It's a shock that they can even call themselves an institution.

I love the scenery which is just by the River Thames. The accommodation is comfortable and peaceful. Worst experience is that students are made to search Placement opportunities themselves which can be quite exhausting.

The lectures in my course are very helpful and always get back to you when you have questions. We have good weeks timetabling where we have online lessons and in person and we start at a nice time as well which gives people time to travel. Our lectures give us PowerPoints which we can also look at when at home for more revision. The university is big and is a couple bus stops from train stations which is helpful as well. There is lots of places to get food and they have a wide variety of things.

What students say about photography

My initial reasons for joining were simple. I was drawn to the community; on my open day, I saw a diverse range of people and felt it was a place where the average person from a working-class background could feel comfortable and part of something. I also loved the university's layout. It's tremendously large, with a charming little interior garden and various communal spaces. At times, it felt almost too big, but over the years, I turned finding its many hidden corners into a personal game. And let's not forget the labs—incredibly huge and spacious, yet still cozy. I remember late winter afternoons, running a routine reaction while staring out the massive windows. In those moments, everything felt tranquil and perfectly in place. However, that was just the beginning. The real reason the undergraduate Chemistry program at London Met is so great is the academic staff. Their dedication, the time they invest, and the lengths to which they will go to help you are absolutely unparalleled. You aren't just a number or another face; you are someone they look after. They share every opportunity with you—bursaries, placements, training, and so on—constantly pushing you in the right direction and enabling you to collect achievements throughout the short journey of your BSc. It isn't always easy; there will be moments of stress, anxiety, and insecurity, but remember that everyone is there to help you succeed.

The actual university was fine. The new building has a lot of great facilities but some of them can only be used by people from that actual course. Sewing machines and work spaces can get really busy. Nice interior design and layout.
