The St Mary’s University campus is really nice, and because it’s relatively small, everyone here basically knows everyone. It’s like you can’t cross campus without seeing someone you know, which makes for a really nice feeling. The teaching quality is great as well, and the lecturers take special interest in discussions and solving problems. As for what can be done to improve, having longer lectures for modules that students are genuinely enjoying and interested in could be helpful.
The best is the environment
I love being near Central London The students union is hard to contact and arrange things with, the events are very limited to nothing much happens here
The best part of my uni experience has been meeting new people and becoming more independent. The worst has been balancing everything at once and managing stress.
Best aspect: The location and quality of campus rooms and facilities as well as education courses. Worst aspect: Student night life.
Great uni and has good respect to students
Overall it's a nice experience.
Everything is great
Best - very much of a community, very easy to ask for help, student to lecturer relationship is close making it easier to understand the lecturer Worst - catered food from canteen - not enough points for the whole day - had to end up skipping breakfast, practise fire alarms at the most random times, shower curtain in de marillac halls are awful - water splashes absolutely everywhere. Dolce vita cafe prices are waaay to expensive for what they serve.
Everyone’s so friendly
The best is the atmosphere. i feel so welcomed here No improvements
So far I’ve had a really positive experience and I feel very welcomed by everyone both staff and students and I love my course.
Brilliant people Student union feels more like a hall than a students union
The location, close to so many different places and lots of nice places to go out and see. The home of rugby as well which helps
Best aspects are the sports culture, and the togetherness. Worst aspect probably the disciplinary faculty.
I really like the area and the range of support on offer!
There is a very comfortable and welcoming feel to the university and all of the teachers are so lovely. They make learning enjoyable and are approachable so it’s easy to ask for help. The uni is located in a great place and has a lot of accessible transport nearby into towns and also London. I feel the food could be improved as there is not a big variety, however overall I love the uni.
Really engaged staff and union. SU always got something on Nightlife unreal
It feels like such a community here, the lecturers are really helpful and committed


I think the place needs to be more prettier and have lots of space and grass for everyone to enjoy the outside.
