I never imagined that City University of London would be my favorite university. I feel incredibly fortunate to be receiving such a fantastic level of education, and the campus is stunning. Among the wonderful opportunities i stand to gain from here like getting internships, and making lifelong friendships. I'm overjoyed to have been accepted, and choosing City was a smart decision. Being in such a positive environment has improved my mental health more than I could have ever dreamed. At first, I thought this place was a bit taxing, but eventually, I started to enjoy it. The lecturers take their time to make sure you grasp what they're teaching, and it's very calm.
The tutors at City University of London are outstanding. Although they can occasionally feel overwhelming due to their high expectations, they are typically amiable and approachable. I like to joke around and have conversations with them. To win their respect, you don't need to be scared or act like someone else. They are extremely knowledgeable and current in their fields. Talking to other students who have taken classes with particular professors is a good idea, even though they are enthusiastic about their subjects. It's a place where people can have fun while still working hard to achieve their academic objectives. The administrative and support personnel genuinely care about your well-being and are very helpful.
I enjoyed my time at this university. Good transport links to get to daily from outside London. The course content was interesting and engaging. It felt like it lacked much of a student union when I was there but could be due to being off campus commuting in.
