Love the vibe of the uni, diversity and the teaching...aometimes it could be better organised in terms of timetable, and also the access to the rehearsal rooms could be more than once per week.

Best is the surport teachers provide, feedback from work and quality of surport. Worst is the student life being completely seperate, this is probaly due to being in London. This could be improved by hosting events for the course groups, department 'parties'/meals.

The music department facilities are brilliant and there are some great tutors (and a few less great ones). The course content is stimulating and there is room for discussion as the course size is fairly small. The university as a whole, though, is quite disorganised and not the easiest to navigate in terms of student support. The student union is a nice place to chill – I feel like most of the good events are at the start of the academic year and there isn't as strong of a sense of community/opportunities to meet new people mid-year. Overall, would recommend but I'd say rent somewhere nearby as opposed to staying in halls (they're extortionate).

Incredible support from the tutors on the course, really above and beyond and very personalised. Honestly couldn't rate the actual course and the teaching any higher. Really heavy budget cuts mean the administrative support if you need anything beyond the control of your lecturers is not good or easy to access.

The improvement for me to second year from first is gigantic: the course, the social life and overall enjoyment of London's campus is amazing. I would tell people to stick it out through the hard times, it is completely worth it.

The standard of teaching and education at Goldsmiths is fantastic, There is also an excellent sense of community on campus. However, facilities are in a state of disrepair and more facilities are needed. The college is hindered by problems with bureaucracy and fails to serve it is SU properly.
