Sort:Latest reviewsBest: everything being on one campus, cheaper accommodation since not in central London, student support and great teachers; great student life in London and many activities at the university Worst: sometimes not very helpful lectures and lack of facilities on campus (such as bars etc), expensive to go out
Good experience
Best: diversity, location, vibrant, great number of studying spaces which are never full, great physical book selection stored in library. Worst: online exams which give less reasons for students to better prepare for the exam and learn the content.
In the realm of positive experiences during my university journey, the vibrant and dynamic student union stands out as a beacon of community and connection. This hub of student life not only facilitated social interactions but also played a pivotal role in organizing a myriad of special events that brought the campus to life. From engaging workshops to lively cultural celebrations, the student union created an inclusive environment that transcended the boundaries of academic disciplines. One of the highlights was the diverse range of events hosted throughout the academic year. These gatherings, spanning from cultural festivals to academic symposiums, allowed students to explore interests beyond their coursework. It wasn't just about education within the classroom; the student union enhanced the overall learning experience by fostering a sense of belonging and shared enthusiasm for diverse activities. Adding to this positive tapestry were the exceptional facilities provided by the university, particularly the well-equipped gym. Access to state-of-the-art fitness equipment and a variety of exercise classes contributed significantly to the physical well-being of students. The gym became more than just a place for physical activity; it evolved into a space where students could destress, socialize, and prioritize their health. However, every silver lining has its cloud, and in my university experience, the persistent construction on campus emerged as a prominent downside. While development and improvement are essential, the perpetual state of construction created inconveniences that affected the overall campus ambiance. Certain areas became inaccessible due to ongoing projects, leading to detours and disruptions in the usual flow of campus life. The construction-related inconveniences were not merely logistical; they also impacted the aesthetics of the campus. Areas under construction often looked unkempt, and the constant backdrop of scaffolding and construction equipment gave certain sections a less-than-ideal appearance. This not only detracted from the overall visual appeal of the campus but also, in some instances, made it challenging to fully appreciate the architectural beauty that the university otherwise boasted. In conclusion, while the student union and excellent facilities like the gym enriched my university experience, the omnipresent construction served as a persistent drawback. The dichotomy of positive and negative aspects highlighted the importance of a balanced and well-maintained campus environment for fostering an optimal educational journey.
If possible, make the canteen food cheaper
It is the only campus based London university that is also a Russell Group! Best of both worlds.
The uni staff are helpful
the student support have been very good to me, especially as they are very understanding about how expensive it is to be a student in london. i’ve been awarded multiple bursaries and been helped massively by the welfare team. however, the student union rarely put on any interesting events and the student bar is expensive and honestly rather tragic. the campus buildings also need refurbishment however they have just refurbished the library which is good but it has only just been completed and i’m about to finish! the food and drink on campus is also very expensive and not great for people with allergies or intolerances.
18-24 years
Best aspects is that the campus overall has lively areas to sit and chill for eg canal side and also the professors have a very unique examples to teach children and provide students with fresh perspectives. Worst aspects have to be the food available at the QMUL curve- I don’t think the food is fresh and it’s not even close to good. And also it’s expected that if as a university we want to have our students drink coffee and frappe at QMUL curve then we need to reduce our prices for the students as compared to Starbucks that Is literally just outside the campus.
Library open 24/7 Great location Bad on campus student life but London is fantastic Great gym Engineering building is modern
Best thing: Societies and student support Worst thing: HR and QMUL administration (expecially during teacher strikes)
Overall amazing experience
Good!
Enjoy
More study/group spaces
Best: can use Bloomberg room for trading and many practical modules for finance. Good range of societies although the SU doesn't do much
It was great!
The facilities and teaching staff are great
4.3
Great that it's a campus uni and gives a good sense of community.
Could have more advisor meetings rather than just big group tutorials.
