Type of housing: On campus

Arranged by: Independently - My choice

If returning, I would choose: On campus

Why? Because it's easier to meet other students and exchange ideas with them and hopefully also study together. Besides, there is all you need there: PC rooms, a library, a bar and a canteen.

Personal comments:
Accomodation was fine, the student house was clean and quiet, although the standard is not the same for all the student houses of this University. I think that the accomodation, in general, is quite expensive.

Describe host city: Students interact with the local community without much university involvement

Activities: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment

Nightlife, Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment

Personal comments:
London is a place where you can, if you want, go to a new place everytime you wanna go out. Meaning in three years you can avoid going to the same place twice. However, this is not the case for me. Every night of the week have a perfect night time adventure and there is something for everyone's taste. Monday nights, Cheers in Central is packed with tourists, cheep drinks and fun dancing music, Tuesdays perfect for going to Bayswater for a pint and a movie (my favourite theatre at Whitley's due to fairly cheep tickets and never sold out, Wednesdays spent at the Cuban in Camden Town. Cosy and fun little Cuban restaurant in the middle of the makret and you get the feel of Camden without all the stress of the weekend tourists. Thursday night at Attica in Soho was always fun, and Friday and Saturday night was a mix and match according to your mood: Fancy partying in Central, Soho or Kensington or more casual partying or pubcrawling in Angel. London never stops and my best advice to new comers would be to stay clear of Oxford Street and the most crowded places. Take a stroll down Marylebone High Street, a walk along the canal in Little Venice, Camden market on weekdays. Basically explore the lesser known parts of London. Best bar for a pint with friends or a date is without doubt the Cave in Covent Garden-am I on a boat or in a secluded cabin?Hard to say but the atmosphere is amazing and even though packed with people it is intimate and private. The Light by Liverpool Street station is also highly recommended. Giving a chilled feel and room to dress up or down for an evening out with friends. It has to be mentioned that a stay in London is not complete without a night or two in the one of the West End theatres..A musical or two fullfils the London experience. More than particular places to see, just have a walk around the city. Soak in all the atmosphere, the people, shopping, bad/good food, look at the buildings and merely enjoy the fact that you are in one of the world's most pumping and energizing cities.

Course recommendations:
sorry i didnt meet as many local students as i thought. but students and teachers are overall friendly and helpful. the most important thing is to choose wot u really want to study not wot people think might be hot subjects

Personal comments:
well, i would say if there are more active student society that'll be great. studying media in this uni is kind of isolated cos the media school is far from city.
