Lecturers are very experienced and supportive of students. The food and drinks for students could be more affordable
I like that it is a very homely place. It’s a small campus but that’s what makes it nice. It can be improved my including more activities for commuters during the day
Small, community feel, lecturers treat me like a person rather than just a number, lots of library support and great social aspect with societies and events to create an inclusive feel! - wish there was more car parking spaces to make commuting easier
Lecturers are lovely, helpful, kind and they listen.

The location is safe and feels like home away from home - it is always very clean as we have cleaners in our accommodation who are lovely, the outside is always clean too, no rubbish etc. The night life is very quiet on campus but Kingston is very close and has a great club and night life and easy to get to and from and it is also cheap for London. The SU on site is great prices but it is never very busy and vibes are low but Kingston is great so doesn't really matter, The only thing I find is that due to it being such a nice part of London it is quite far away from everything - it takes like an hour to get into central or St Pancreas, so doesn't really feel like London but that I do like as it feels really safe. We dont have tube station so everything takes longer and the station has trains only every half an hour or something but again it is not bad once you get used to the timetable and out of the every 30 second London train mindset. The train journeys are really cheap so it doesn't matter too much and also strawberry hill station is only like 6 min walk away so is really accessible and Twickenham and Teddington main town is only 10 ish minute walk away!
St Mary’s is a friendly and calm university with helpful staff and a good location. Facilities are fine but could be better, and student life can feel quiet. Overall, it’s a nice place to study.
I am a PGTA student with QTS qualification. The location of St. Mary's University is excellent, allowing for easy travel. Facilities offer a wide variety of food options. The course tutors are friendly and helpful, and they have extensive experience. I am very happy to be a student here. We have a small class size, which has a positive impact on my learning, as it is not overcrowded. Well organise course.
It’s a great place to study because of the staff and the effective communication. There’s a lot of help available for students and that’s communicated well. It could be better if there was more support for commuting students and if WiFi on campus was a bit better.
The support for me as an eal student to be able to improve is just amazing!

First gen student
It's in an amazing, peaceful location with tons of greenery, cafes, restaurants, and top safety.
The lecturers are so supportive and check up consistently making sure you are on track, the food is so good and library has all the resources and support needed.
The University is wonderful, it provides tons of opportunities for learning and developing your skills. The staff members are very helpful and the lecturers are always happy to clear out all the questions that you may have. The location is quite nice and is very convenient for commuting with a station 5 minutes away.
It’s an amazing university, with good facilities on campus in very close vicinity! Very cozy and welcoming feeling, and inviting staff as well!
Very easy to get to
My best experiences have been with the student support within the university. The wellbeing team are extremely kind and helpful. My worst experiences have been with the student life, there are student events that happen but I think that they are very well promoted and it can be difficult to know what events are about
Saint Mary’s is a really cultural yet fun university that just outside London. I’m doing a Work based degree so I’m only there one day a week but when I’m there I feel totally embedded in campus life and part of the university. The lectures are fun and the lecturers are very approachable and I’m thoroughly enjoying my course.
