SOAS University of London

What SOAS lacks in reliable admin it completely makes up for in the quality of teaching. The library has recently been refurbished, and there are many different spaces to study in or relax.

Admin is awful, teachers are inconsiderate, unkind, and unprincipled, the security team are intentionally violent towards students,but the majority of the staff are good people and well intentioned, and the education is actually good

It has a less Eurocentric attitude, unique courses and a great location. Because of these niche focuses however it doesn’t have as strong of general provisions as certain other universities, which is an unavoidable consequence

I enjoy how easy it is to travel here and the convenience of the location. A lot of good food places and other unis surrounding it which make up for the campus itself being quite small in comparison to many other unis. Often times we get directed multiple times to different places for whatever it is we need help with. For instance, reception or student hub. There is a lot of having to go back and forth and miscommunication in that sense

It is a broad category talking about the lecturers as I find the bad ones not engaging at all. There are no sports facilities here whoch is a shame. The library is good though.
