    Wonderful professors and beautiful grounds!

    I loved my time at Goldsmiths. I studied International Relations and my professors were wonderful, always willing to help and push you to your potential. I chose Goldsmiths because I wanted to remain at home with my parents. Its a great uni if you already live in London. In Newcross with great transport links and just down the road from trendy Deptford high street! The grounds and buildings are beautiful. Great clubs to join and student union. There’s a gym, bar and club on site! Overall I really enjoyed my time at Goldsmiths and would study there again!

    Boring classes

    I did Computer Science, the classes were generally boring. They mainly comprised of a lecturer speaking for hours, reading from slides they send you in the VLE anyway which makes coming to class almost useless.

    There are lots of friendly people and it’s easy to make friends. The are is also very nice and the school is about 5 minutes away from a train station.
