City, University of London - City
speciality: International Relations

Due to the abundance of research opportunities and internships, City university is a fantastic school for academics. The scenery here is incredibly genuine and natural. I’m a member of numerous groups and organizations because I like to be active and socialize.

Alhamdulillah, My future is very secure as I have studied the international program and it’s a worldwide famous university from which I have graduated furthermore I have been studying LLB Hons from the same university which is entitled as a graduate entry.

The main part of the building is extremely modern, definitely reflects City of London. A lot like SOAS. The University seems to be hanging onto its renowned name, and not improving… Walk through the halls and you’ll see images of Margaret Thatcher and Tony Blair….

The University libraries are however extremely odd and unattractive. Cold dingy toilets in odd places, cold hallways and very dangerous windows that open extremely wide. Difficult to connect to Wi-fi. The staircase resembles the back of a warehouse or Blackwall Tunnel/Woolwich Ferry staircase. The books are okay, not the best, but helpful and necessary.

A few quirky and indie restaurants around, great area, nice hustle and bustle of North London.

The course tutors are quite rude and arrogant, especially via email. However, the careers advice team, student union and course advisors are amazing! very helpful and efficient, and I have seen that they are award winning. I have a feeling alumni life will be much better and rewarding than current uni life.

Not the best student life, everyone seems advanced and focused. Which they should be.

Attend if you have strong self-motivation and vision, so you can get through your course. A valuable, but not enjoyable university.
