The Lab facility is in an easy location to get to as well as fully equipped with everything we need to progress through the course.
Let's start with saying that London Met could simply be much better. The campus looks a bit outdated and the location is not very pleasant: it is in front of a super traffic main road, so every time you are around the entrance, you can smell so much smog. However, I must say that it is in a convenient area being in zone 2 close to the tube station. The food services are quite poor, there's not enough space to eat in peace and there is always a long queue at the bar. The food quality is often bad and the options are very limited. The library is quite big, but most of the computers in there often don't work. As well, when I want to connect with my own laptop, I have problems with the wifi...

Overall, my experience with this university is very good. After one year and a half of studying, I still find new facilities that this university offer. The campus is very nice, well organised, and they equipped the scientific building at a high standard. Many facilities inside the outside area in campus equipped with tables and chairs, table tennis, canteen, access to computers allover the campus, vast library, gym, pub and others.
There is no activities or events.
Should improve more in terms of activities and student life on campus

university is inclusive to all races, genders. everyone is welcomed here to study. if i would like to change something - evaluate students experience and do not allow them to choose studies without foundation year. yes, it would mean that a person has to study one extra year, but in the long term it gives more advantages than just rushing through 3 years to give them a diploma.
It's a great University with excellent facilities such as IT and Library services. The School Office Team can be improved as they are taking too long to respond to queries. Furthermore, timetable issues are often encountered during Uni term which negatively a student life
Excellent support for coursework and wide range of modules covered on the plus side. On the negative, there is no freedom to choose modules and there is a lack of academic discussion- tutorials are large groups (up to 100) and a much more a lecture than an exploration of topics covered.
Modern facilities & central location. (+) Student support needs improvement. (-)

Most lecturers in the uni genuinely want the best for the students but the board don’t seem too care, lecture rooms are too small and can’t accommodate the entire cohort, technology is outdated and several problems regularly occur slow lifts often mean you’ll have to take the stairs. Doors that open with a button sometimes only open halfway and the campus has a sad look too it, My lecturers have been great and nothing but helpful but have been let down by management.
Huge laboratory, nice student life, great teachers.
London Metropolitan University is located in the heart of London with a very nice view and an easy access to it. Friendly stuff which always support us, students. I really enjoy my time coming to the university.
London Met doesn't look like much compared to places like Kings and Oxford, but for more modern studies such as film, fashion and sports sciences, the facilities are really great and they frequently have events/classes with professionals in their respective industries. However, compared to other universities, the range of societies is really lacking, and there's not a strong sense of being in a society even when you join one. The campus sometimes feels like a slightly oversized secondary school, but does have great features like a film studio. The student union feel a world away from everyone else despite emailing out random things fairly frequently - there's no tangible connection to them, while other university student unions and societies frequently host balls, club nights and meetings. Overall, the courses are great, but it can leave something to be desired for 'the student experience'.
I've feel so not supported at university. Only one of my teachers I find really helpful. I believe there isn't enough support at London Met. I also did a foundation year where I did have a great teacher for one of the modules. There is close to no student life, I have made no friends and keep myself to myself. Its a shame because its a lot of money to spend on a course, in something I am truly passionate about but feel very unheard whenever I ask for help or guidance.
Positive: modern facilities, genderless toilets. Negative: expensive and small cafe. Canteen always close,
If you don't have or forgot a logbook you are not allowed to go the workshop. For me was a shock because students spent time to get to uni, to listen to the lecture and in the end they were not allowed to enter the room. On Tuesday it is a very difficult day for me because I have to walk my child to school and rush to uni. From 10 to 5! I have to take some food for lunch and then rush home because I am already hungry! I take a heavy Rizer charger, a laptop and a lunch box. And forgot about a flask with coffee. How do you think do i want to take a logbook? I leave the uni instead of tapping my id i sometimes tap oyster card and can not understand what's going on. The lecturer even didn't want to listen about photos that student offered to send him asap they return home.

The university at times feel so overcrowded especially this year during lunch there is no space in canteen, library canteen or other student areas. Sometimes I sm forced to have lunch outside uni. Education edpecially some tutorials and not all are appalling. Tutors have no idea how to support students or at times feel like they are not bothered.

It has been terrible. There have been a ridiculous amount of strikes this year, our deadlines have not been adjusted accordingly, and we've not received any compensation. I find it genuinely embarrassing to admit that I study at this institution.
4.2
A lot of activities presented throughout the break and al the lecturers are open to 1-1 for specific problems.
Contact wit lectures is quite good
