Freshers week was very busy and lively however not many courses had started by then so not much studying was required They have very clean and modern accommodations. Local supermarkets and take always available upon request The uni was under construction, most facilities were available and new at the campus I was in, they had very good student union voice who would pick up any faults. The canteen had a variation menu and was suited for all diets. I enjoyed my course because I was looking for a career in this field. My lectures were never boring and always informative. The uni was located in west London so wasn't very busy like central London would be. We had great restaurants and bars to visit with good student discounts

Unfortunately I was too shy to go to most of them however the few ones that I did go to we had really good drink tokens, and it was ashame I left early because I couldn't travel home too drunk I lived at home for most of it untill recently. However my friends told me central studios were really nice The library is amazing, I love studying there. Lectures were funny and made eac assessment clear Drink drink and more drink but if you don't like that Ealing has wonderful parks neaby that are good for people who have anxiety like me

Very fun. Lots of things to do and plenty of opportunities to meet new people and make new friends. Information about freshers week was widely available on the student union websites and social media! Very close to the university. Lots of different types of accommodation available. Easy to find out information about accommodation. Good pricing. Library is well set out. Classrooms are spacious and great views of the city. Student union is readily available and more than willing to support you. Course is very informative and just as expected. Lectures are well planned and very interactive. Busy. Easy to get to from university.

There were plenty of activities and events planned. The community at the university is so welcoming and always listens to the choices of students. I didn't stay in university accommodation. But I did visit them and they looked great. The facilities are well equipped. The space is enough and caters to all group sizes. The lectures ensured you were helped when needed. The course was interesting and the variety in the assessments were great too. City life was great, because that's mostly where I spend my time.

No 1 for student Satisfaction

(4.8)·By Tahira M·Biomedical Science· Jun 2023
When I started my first year I was really anxious and worried that because there were many students, I wouldn't feel connected to the lectures or university. However, after a few months it's obvious that the lectures really care for us as they gave us extensions or multiple attempts for assignments even offering extra sessions on areas we found difficult outside of the timetable. The head of the degree is also exceptional and understanding about our lives and how it impacts our studies. The university also offers many opportunities to meet people for leisure as well as helping build networks.

Packed full of fun activities and different social groups to choose from. Lots of help from students and lectures. Day and night activities available too. Lots of rooms available. Shuttle bus provided which takes you to and from campus to accommodations. Also free. Great! Loved the library, which was divided into three floors depending on group study or independent. Fully equipped rooms for the media students, e.g. 3D printing, photography room, radio room etc. Student union held plenty of events and we had our own bar area. Lecturers were great and helpful. They were there every step of the way and provided so much industry experience and knowledge. The course was fun and very practical based. We often visited agencies and pitched to industry people, which is great for industry experience. Busy and hectic. London is packed full of things to do and it's definitely a city which keeps you entertained and busy.

I really enjoyed it, it helped me make so many new friends when I was so anxious to start uni, afraid people won't like me. I felt very settled! The accommodation is great (the layout) and the lifts and everything is very clear so I don't feel anxious or claustrophobic at all! The overall interior looks good too. The 3 libraries are my favourite because it lets me decide on which mood I am inc depending on noisy group work, independent work or silent study time. It's really great for me, mentally, in terms of studying. The lectures are very entertaining, informative and educating. The course is beneficial since 1 in 10 jobs are in relation to tourism! City life is great, because it brings that sense of togetherness and unity. City life makes me drown out my negative mental thoughts and makes me aware that I'm not alone. I have people around me to talk to, in a big city.

It was great! I had a really great first impression of our uni. UWLSU were the most welcoming. I haven't lived in the uni accommodation. As I've heard it's not the best one. Especially this year, when all students were moved from one students' accommodation to another. We've got the best SU in the UK I believe. It's always such a pleasure to work with all these nice people. Library and classrooms are amazing. We've also got a brand new sports centre. I'm really happy that we have all these amazing lecturers. The course and the lectures are really helpful and informative! It was scary at first, because I lived in a small country before I moved here. But once I got used to it, I definitely fell in love with London and am planning to stay here.
