I first chose the university for arguably unpractical reasons. Essentially I wanted to stay in London and I thought the campus was gorgeous.
When I went to the open day I discovered that my course, Marketing Management, was interesting and the professors seemed to be passionate about the subject they taught. The university is always trying to improve themselves, so at the end of my first year they changed the course to Marketing and Brand Management as they are constantly keeping up with the demands of the changing industry and wanted our learning to reflect the current market.
On to the more exciting stuff! Being in London means that you have access to all of the exciting venues and events. On top of the location of the University being amazing, there is also many societies and social event are held every week. There is also a University club that doubles as a restaurant in the day with lots of student deals.
I have struggled in my journey at this University as for my course we only have class two days a week, if you are looking for a more intense academic experience then this university course may not be for you. Furthermore, as the majority of the students are home students, they use their University time to socialise, making the lectures noisy from time to time. However, this is slowly being changed, with student reps working with course leaders to put in place measures for a more rewarding learning experience.
The University of Greenwich is a truly amazing experience, I have joined many societies including cheer, music and trampolining. Through these I have made so many friends, everyone is extremely social and willing to make new connections and I have made memories that I will cherish forever.
