The east campus here is too small, with only one building, the campus experience is very poor, and it lacks the infrastructure of the university, such as a library, computer, etc. Due to the dual-track system, the online lectures are not clear, and there is no clear understanding of the lectures and Q&A. Classes and lectures are fun. But there are too many case studies and presentations. I didn’t learn much theoretical knowledge. And the school facilities are not enough, so our campus experience is not very good. For me, the best thing about an online course is that it saves time on the commute and is very flexible. However, the device sometimes had problems and the sound was often inaudible. In addition, at this stage, the experience and immersion I get from teaching online are worse than offline.

The facilities at the HereEast campus are new and there is a good spread of common areas, teaching areas and seminar rooms. However, the classroom is too small to stretch your legs, and when there are many students the room is not airy and it is not easy to get in and out of your seat. But the small classroom helps to focus on the lecturer. The atmosphere of the online classes was depressing, probably due to shyness, and it was difficult to turn the camera and microphone off and back on again.

My major is still relatively young, with only three years of history, so the base is in UCL’s East Campus, HereEast. The location of the east campus is too far from the city center and the transportation is inconvenient; there are too few restaurants and entertainment places nearby, so there is not enough motivation to go to school; it is boring to have classes in the same classroom all the time; maybe because of the remote location, guests choose to go online speech. Online teaching is very convenient, but if there is little interaction between teachers and students, or the interaction is boring, it is no different from watching recordings; the lack of supervision is not conducive to everyone participating in group discussions, and more people choose to be silent. But because it is relatively new, the potential is huge.

The campus of Here East is very new, and all the staffs are nice, but the campus is relatively small. In addition, the course is arranged to rest for two weeks then last for the whole week, so it is particularly tiring in the week of class, and it was difficult to digest knowledge as well.

The campus is well equipped, with a good teaching area and a spacious lounge area with plenty of sofas to relax on. The downside is the ventilation system in the circular classrooms, which often makes offline classes hot and stuffy, and the lack of air circulation. If you take classes online, you can do so from the comfort of your own sofa, but you can’t concentrate as well as you would in a live class.

I like the here east campus the best. The teaching building has perfect facilities, a tidy teaching hall and a comfortable leisure area. When we are tired of studying, we can rest in the sofa area, or go to the balcony to have some fresh air. I don’t like the course arrangement very much. One week of class and two weeks of rest will make my study status change frequently, and it is difficult for me to maintain a high concentration.

All the equipment is new and good for the student. However, the location of this site is too far from the centre. Which may cause some safety and transport problems. I think all the students in UCL would like to study in the UCL main campus.

UCL at HereEast offers two very innovative postgraduate programmes in sustainable property development, one of which is a healthcare facility. I learned about real estate, construction and healthcare, and met students from different professional backgrounds. Architecture students are especially interesting because they see the world differently than I do. However, it is too far to come to the HereEast campus, it takes a long time to take the subway and walk for about 10 minutes. In the past, due to the storm, the subway was closed, and there was no convenient transportation. Many people could only call a car, and then the price of the car was well understood.

I studied at The School of Sustainable Construction & The Real Estate Institute and there are so many specializations, many of which are sub-divisions of real estate, such as complex project management and healthcare facility. They are very specialized and require not only specialized knowledge but also further knowledge of real estate that most students are not familiar with. This results in a wide range of backgrounds for students in each specialism. However, the needs of each student are different, and many students with backgrounds other than real estate want to study more specialized knowledge.
