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.

The lecturers’ dedication to your achievement impressed me. They take the time to get to know you and what your interests are in the area before pointing you in the direction of resources that can assist you in achieving your objectives.

My experience at the City university of London was interesting, to say the least. I spent my first term doing online classes as a distance learner eventually transitioning into the campus in January for the second term. Whilst being familiar with online distanced classes due to being part of the class of 2020 which had the end of year exams cancelled and uni entries being restricted due to the dawn of the COVID 19 pandemic, finally being on campus felt reassuring as I truly thought that this when my higher education would start. However, online learning was still a very large component of this new style of learning that was introduced at City when I arrived. It was called blended learning and it allowed me to be on campus and online whilst participating in my course. The city handled this with a relative challenge as the program was still getting used to the re-entry of local and international students following the state of a pandemic. Nevertheless, my International Politics and Sociology course was still interesting and engaging.

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.
