Sort:Latest reviewsUni is good, but final year is really stressful. Make sure you stay on top of your work load ans stay motivated. My words of wisdom would be "uni is a marathon, not a sprint". Make sure you spend at least 8 hours a week doing work outside of lectures, and although you should enjoy 1st year the most, it still does count for 100of your 2nd year, so you still need to do well! Make sure you do well in your A Levels, get good work experience and write a good personal statement.
Uni is good, and I am really enjoying it. I particularly like the fact that QM in based in London. That's the best bit, I'm really enjoying the city life.
Uni is great, but it is a lot of hard work. Make sure you have the right mind set and are prepared. Take your degree seriously and don't mess about. Also make sure you read around the subject to learn more about what you are actually studying
I like the uni, although it didn't really meet my expectations of uni life. So from my experience I have learnt and would advise others to lower their expectations and be more realistic as to what uni is really like.
I like my uni a lot. It's great because it's campus based and everything is in the one place. The uni is also well connected to other uni's and businesses in the UK and abroad. I love the fact that it really is a London Uni. To get a place make sure you have work experience and do a lot of extra curricular activities
For me, QM didn't live up to my expectations. I feel as though it is a big uni, and I don't feel like I am very involved and there are barely any events to try and make students feel involved either.In general when choosing a uni, make sure you look at the unions, facilities and the communities that the uni has more so than just the academic side of things, but saying that, don't expect too much from QM. If you are applying through clearing and are worried, don't. The clearing team are really helpful.I would recommend QM to others, but make sure you read all the advice about the uni you can first.
Make sure you submerge yourself and enjoy uni life and being a student. The best bit about uni life for me, is making all the friends I have. Just make sure you do well in your A Levels to get in.
Make sure you research into all the clubs and societies and all the activities you can get involved in. Get careers, internships and work placement advice, it is all available at the uni, but it's not publicised very much, so take the initiative. In general get involved and be independent!
Uni is a lot of work, but it is great. First year is definitely the best, so make sure you enjoy it and make the most of it. Also make sure that when you are applying, you read around the subject and get as much background knowledge on the subject as possible.
I would say for a prospective student to make sure that they know the course that they want to study and all the modules in depth. For applying, make sure you are individual in your personal statement, and make sure you explain why you want to do the course.
Uni life is good. I would say that you need to be prepared mentally to work, but most of all make sure you enjoy it. There's a balance between work and having fun, you just need to find it. Make sure you do all the work experience you need before you apply to the uni and look for placements. Also doing the Duke of Edinburgh awards looks great on your personal statement.
My uni life is absolutely great, and I love the fact that it's one of the only campus based uni's in London. Everything you need is soo close to each other. That means that you are outdoors quite a bit travelling from building to building, so in the cold weather make sure you bring a coat! When you are applying to uni, then make sure that you get help, there's plenty available out there
Uni is definitely tough, but also incredibly rewarding and a fantastic experience. I would say for you to make sure you enjoy your 1st year as much as possible as it gets tougher as the years progress.Make sure that prior to coming to uni you do as much research as possible!
Uni life is great, and a lot of fun. You get to meets soo many people from everywhere across the world. I would recommend that you mingle a lot and meet as many people from different courses as you can. People tend to stick to the people they know in their courses. Make sure you get good grades at A Level, and do as many extra curricular activities that you can to get a place at QM.
Uni is good, but really stressful in the final year.A word of advice, don't but food etc. on campus, it's really expensive. Just go to a big chain supermarket eg. Tesco/ Sainsburys. It's much cheaper.
I find uni great, but it's going soo quick! Make sure you enjoy every single minute of it, and also make the most of your time at uni and all the opportunities that uni offers and the facilities. As long as you get good A Level, and the grade you need, then you will be fine.
I absolutely love Queen Mary.One piece of advice that I would give, is to make sure you take advantage of everything that's on offer at the university. There is a lot you can do, you just need to make the effort and get involved!
Uni is ok, it's just a lot of hard work.Make sure that you attend the lectures. Uni is a lot different to school in that you aren't registered when you attend lectures, so you have to make sure you are independent and work hard.
Uni is great! The uni residence are really helpful and friendly. Students should definitely come! The uni really looks after you!There is a huge range of subjects that the uni offers, so there is definitely something for everyone.The only criticism that I would make, is that the uni doesn't put up the reading list early enough and at the start of the year I do feel like I'm always lagging a bit behind, but I put in the hard work and soon catch up.I would definitely say that QM is highly under rated. The education and quality of the courses are excellent, and the uni isn't given enough credit

Uni is tough, especially in 3rd year, but overall it's good. Just make sure you work hard from the beginning and make sure you don't leave work until the last minute. Also make sure you enjoy your 1st year.
