Lectures need to offer more support to students, they don’t always respond to emails
It’s got a friendly feel and you are welcomed instantly, very easily accessible with great areas only a bus or train away. All course information is kept in the same place making it easy to keep up to date with deadlines and lectures.
it’s central to a lot of places and has two stations really close which means travel is easy

Until now, everything is fine
Best experience was some of the lectures I’ve had during the first semester.
This university is a small campus which gives it a nice feel. The lecturers are all very friendly and willing to give additional support if needed. The services that the university offers are very clear and accessible if a student needs any help and generally it is a nice university to attend. In terms of improvement, students who live at this university have a points system to buy food which isn’t ideal as it means they often don’t have enough for three meals a day. The accommodation lacks basic kitchen equipment such as an oven/stove. The university has also recently put up their parking prices which makes it a struggle to attend lectures all day for commuting students paying for themselves. There are a few small tweaks like these things which would make the university a lot nicer.

St Mary’s is an amazing place to make close friends due to the small campus.

First gen student
During my time in St Mary’s, I’ve always felt cared for. My lecturers have helped me with any question I have, regardless of whether or not it is related to my degree, and my tutor always provides me with guidance, making sure I do not miss out on any opportunities that would help me take the first few steps towards my career in Psychology. Besides, the sports clubs are great to get to know people from different courses and meet people with the same hobbies and interests. As someone who loved dancing when younger and eventually had to give it up to focus on academics, the dance society has helped me find my passion for it again after all these years. I love hearing stories on why dancing is what people chose out of all things, and how we could all be doing the same choreography but experiencing it all differently.
Everything is perfect
The support at St Mary’s is phenomenal. The teaching is also fantastic. Facilities are great. I’m very happy here.
It's location at the city center is the most amazing thing as it enhances student life to be comfortable and easier. The impeccable natural surroundings are extremely beautiful.
What makes St Mary’s a great place to study is the overall experience of the campus. Everyone is friendly and willing to help others. It is also a smaller campus compared to other universities in London which in my opinion is better so that new students won’t get overwhelmed and find it easier to find classes.

Great support from academic tutors and lovely facilities
Most of the things are great like supports from the lecturer and tutor, library facilities and things. Location is perfect just 5 min walk from train station. Facilities are just okay it can be more. Campus is surrounded by greenery which is really good. I think student union is just there but doing nothing much for students.

I love the community feel there is at St Mary’s. Everyone knows everyone and the lecturers provide excellent support to students even out of hours. The downsides are that security is terrible. Once phoned they can take up to an hour to arrive at the scene and also some can be quite cheeky. Recently we had our circuit laundry washing machines out of order for about a month and a half and we’re told to “use the laundrette down the road” which cost about £10 per wash. This was extremely unfair as someone who depends heavily on these facilities and it was starting to leave me out of money very quickly. Tiger the issue resolved I had got in contact with the SU but got no progress so I took matters into my own hands to get it resolved


When you email and ask for help they don’t reply Nice location but needs free parking
Good lessons
