University of Westminster
115 New Cavendish Street, W1M 8JS LONDON, United Kingdom
3.91 / 5 based on 294 reviews.
Description:
The University of Westminster is located in the heart of central London, close to the bustling shopping areas of Oxford Street and Regent Street. In fact, our main headquarters building is located on Regent Street itself and dates back to the foundation of the institution, then the Royal Polytechnic in 1838. Additionally, we have a large campus in Harrow, slightly out of the centre of town, which offers a greener environment where students can study in brand new purpose built teaching accommodation. Our international reputation dates from our founding years as the first ever polytechnic to the present day as one of Britain's largest universities with around 19,000 students studying a wide range of full- and part-time courses. The University has four campuses. Three located in central London and one in Harrow, suburban North West London.

I really like the Hanover Grand, but unfortunately it is closed now. The Zoo Bar also is very nice and worth going. My favourite pub is the Buzz Bar. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal recommendation:
Although I do not regret having studied here, I think they should care a little more for international studies.They should try to be more organised.My registration day was chaotic! FINAL COMMENTS
Bear in mind that London is a very expensive city, and it can be very difficult to find accommodation.Maybe you are not going to make many British friends, but be sure that you'll find loads of great people among the international students!At least, that's my experience.
