Final comments

London is such an expensive city to live in. Normally it's much cheaper to stay outside. But better make sure your host family has internet access, which is very important during your course. You can always find cheaper stuffs in different super-markets. You may also fo to Sainsbury after 8pm, when you can find reduced food.

I wish I had known...

Only that things tend to take more time in the UK than in Norway. If I had known I wouldn't have had to stress so much about it and just tried to be patient.

In my opinion:

Everybody loved it, you will too!

The PR and media department is excellent and due to the few number of students you are very well followed up by the professors and do not feel like one of a million.

Take the bus if you can, you gte to see so much more of London than by tube. Even better-walk! Even though it seems like great distances the tube stops are fairly close and you get to know the city so much better.

“Field trip”

United Kingdom, Undergraduate
Computer Science / IT, 2021

Overall

As I am a student at the University of Westminster, I can easily review about the opportunities they provide their students to achieve higher in terms of education. In May 2018, I was selected to take part in this field trip to Uzbekistan to engage with the students of the Uzbek University where we were divided in to small groups to take part in the project called Hackaton. This trip has helped me in many ways to improve my knowledge and even personally me.

Pros

Small classes with friendly teachers

Cons

Not well organised

Final comments

Apply for housing early if cost is an issue becuase it is much less expensive, however the University is not very central to London so you may prefer to lie outside of halls to have the full London experience.
