I joined one of their free tours that leave from the visitor's center and it was great. The guide was knowledgable and it was nice to have someone point out all the areas of interest. The chapel here is stunning. It's absolutely beautiful and you must stop in. The Painted Room was closed for renovation when I was there, but I am looking forward to going back once it is open. Pack a picnic lunch and enjoy it on the grounds. If you are lucky, you will be able to hear the students at the Trinity College of Music practice in the buildings as you are wandering around. It makes for a great backdrop for a picnic lunch!

The University of Greenwich looks wonderful from the outside but once inside I am afraid to say it…read moreis lacking. Firstly it is important to mention that I cannot speak for every course, I only speak from my own experiences of my own course which was based in the humanities department although speaking to people who have worked on degrees in other schools, they too have similar things to say. My biggest issue with Greenwich University is that a lot of the people I came across were not what I would regard as degree standard students. In my third year classes I sat open mouthed as students gave presentations which were littered with spelling mistakes, no punctuation, paragraphs or capital letters and poorly thought out arguments and ideas, and I was even more aghast at staff who allowed this to happen. I might expect that kind of standard from a secondary school student but seeing THIRD YEAR degree students present that made me feel as if the value of my degree was somewhat diluted. With regards to student standards, the buck surely stops with the university's hierarchy who mark and pass these students' coursework. It is as if they don't mind students being sloppy and lazy. Classmates were allowed to hand work in late with no questions asked and the lack of enthusiasm from all parties was hardly inspiring. In fact I found it quite infuriating. The staff at Greenwich on my course were not particularly helpful either. Technicians and IT staff treated enquiries almost like an inconvenience and I did not pick up much knowledge or help from them. Lecturers were a little better though with some lecturers going the extra mile to help students (well, the ones who cared enough about their degree to ask for it). I found student life to be a little lacking too with not much on offer to entertain students. The campus bar was a little half hearted and I had no real desire to go there, opting for the pubs around the area instead. Guessing by the emptiness of the bar on most nights, it is probably safe to say that most other students felt the same way. This may be something which has changed since I left as new Student Union presidents take over, but I can't see that it would have improved too much. If you're looking to go to university then I strongly suggest giving Greenwich a miss, especially if you are serious about your education. The poor standard of students renders your degree almost worthless and there are much better universities in which you can spend your money. Such was the disappointment of my Greenwich experience that I chose to go and top up my education with an MA at another university just to try and earn a little respect when approaching employers.

This isn't a review for the university itself as I've never been a student here but actually for…read morethe buildings and grounds - which are really very nice indeed! Technically it's the Old Royal Naval College and Greenwich university is just a part of that, along with Trinity College of Music, the Chapel and the Painted hall amongst other nooks and crannies. A baroque structure on the banks of the river Thames and adjacent to the Queens house (well, one of them), every aspect of the architecture is beautiful and awfully nice to just sit in or stroll around the grounds. Something I always like to do when I'm in the area is to grab some lunch and a drink and sit in the grounds near the Trinity college building when the music students are practicing. Alternatively, one can grab a drink in the Old Brewery which is on-site and backs on to a patch of grass outside the Trinity block. The Chapel is... well, a large-ish chapel and the painted hall, although I don't particularly like the painting style going on in there it's still quite spectacular to see and also holds some Lord Nelson memorabilia (his funeral was held in here). Overall, a great spot to chill and take in your surroundings. TTFN, Ian

It has taken me over 5+ months to try and acquire my diploma that I paid for and was shipped to my university dorm address. Might I add, it was shipped over 13 months after I moved off of campus.

I have a graduated, walked the stage, and should have my certificate from here, I am pictures on the front page of the schools website currently and to be honest I would still say look at another university. I am 24 hours from losing the largest opportunity of my life thus far because the school I paid to attend has a sloppy system for dealing with alumni.

The Access course is said to be intensive, yet 50% of the contact hours of the course are spent wasting time on maths, English, and the most pointless of all; academic skills. Fine, if a student needs these then that is fair enough but making them mandatory for those who do not is a waste of time. The classes that focused on the pathway I was on (science) were poor, apart from physics where the teacher was just fantastic. He deserves 5 stars but sadly the rest deserve 1. The college internet is heavily restricted to the point I could not work effectively on the college site. The IT dept were incredibly inept: when asked if they could install Chrome on the network so I didn't have to use IE9, I was met with inertia and nonsensical arguments such as 'well no one else has complained before'. After being rude about my perfectly reasonable request they silently installed it a few weeks later anyway. Nice. I left to pursue other avenues of learning as I felt like I was wasting so much time here.

My University is awesome, and that is the brutal truth and the important difference between you,…read morethe reader, and me, the student. You are blissfully unaware of what we get, here at QMUL. The student village is awesome, with rooms for over a thousand first years available. I live in the largest building of them all, 450 people all present and loving a bit of uni life. There is a convenience store just a one minute walk from my building, selling almost all of the groceries you could desire. There is a laundry room with about 16 washers and driers, and to sort your washing out (a once a week occurance) will only cost you £2.50. I strongly feel that when I move out of this place in my second year that I will be using this laundry room still! The student union, a five minute walk across campus, provides both a large and well furnished gym and a bar that turns into a club for certain nights of the week (Well, most nights of the week) so it's awesome. The academia of this university can't be doubted. An excellent school of knowledge, complete with a massive library that opens until midnight on weeknights makes the learning experience awesome. The lecturers are accessible and helpful in almost all cases and the labs and seminar rooms are top of the range. An excellent place to come.

Having recently graduated from Queen Mary I have, over the course of the last three years, had the…read moreopportunity to experience first hand the atmosphere, academic standard and social opportunity this insitution offers. Situated in the increasingly trendy area of Mile End, with great transport links to the city, students of this university have the opportunity to live within the last genuine working class area of central London before it is swallowed up in the unstoppable tide of gentrification. I love this area of the city; there is a buzz in the air everywhere you go, development is everywhere you look and down every street you will find an array of different cultures all contributing something unique to this cosmoplitan sprawl. Mile End and the surrounding areas offer their own range of shops, restaurants, pubs, bars, clubs, parks, markets, cinemas, galleries, theatres and much else besides. Some areas can be a little intimidating but I feel the media plays an overly-large part in stressing the dangers rather than the positives. Chances are, so long as you're sensible, you're not likely to run into much trouble. Queen Mary campus itself is located a stones throw away from Mile End and Stepney Green tube stations. During the last few years it has undergone a rather dramatic facelift with the completion of work on new buildings such as the curve, remodelling of the student union and the student village and continuing works on a new humanities building. These new features are demonstrative of the increasing popularity of this consistently improving university. Aside from the forementioned students union which houses Drapers Bar, Queen Mary offers several coffee/cafateria style bars and restaurants, laundry services, excellent library facilities, on campus accomodation (a rarity for London university's), sports facilities including a new state of the art gym, and several shops. Anything not available on campus can be found within a short walk. Socially there is a wealth of clubs and societies available for you to join from Hockey to Croquet, History to Football and Climbing. Most revolve around drinkin games of one sort or another and can be a great way to branch out, meet new people and secure that elusive criminal conviction. Just down the road one can find the uber-trendy areas of Brick Lane and Shoreditch and after a short walk to the tube, the rest of London's vibrant social scene is at your disposal.
