Really friendly atmosphere and stimulating environment. Big focus on cultural diversity and neurodiversity which feels great. Teaching is high quality. Rooms and facilities could be a bit nicer, eg Rhind building basement rooms make it hard to focus

Short courses did not deliver what was in description, will not recommend.
Amazing you get to meet people from around the world
The university year went by really quickly but I enjoyed it. Next year I'm hoping to be more active in societies.
Great school with very experienced professors who know how to teach
I feel like some of the lectures are very biased and rude and I have no idea why they are working there. Honestly actually makes me skin crawl with how horrible they are, not understanding and just down right ignorant. But I love the friends I made
The staff and team are great, great environment
Sam has been excellent, caring and a greater person. He always has time for me and my fiends and his always working so hard, I think he needs a break!!
5/5 services. Lots going around
Nice and modern campus. Easy to get from one building to the other
Decent uni, not much to complain or get excited about
Most of the students are friends and helpful and the university offers various part time jobs for students
As an international student, the campus was underwhelming
Ken has been really helpful has also other staff members when resolving issues. Only real positive out there can the customer service.
Overall I had a good experience. I always felt welcome and I had a lot of fun.
Societies are nice but could do with hosting more events

Brilliant university and brilliant location
Everything and everyone is great. The environment as a whole is suitable for learning.
Again, Sam especially has been super helpful in adjusting to London, address maintenance-related problems, and generally just being a positive impact on my day
The people are kind and social. The teachers are good, some of them could use some other methods to make the students more active in class and make their teaching more appealing.
The campus is falling appart, there is water leaking out of the ceilings in classrooms which hasn't been repaired for months - their preferred method of repairing is by placing a bucket in the spot. The campus is severely overcrowded, unsecure and there were multiple occasions where security and police had to intervene. There are quite a decent number of Societies, but lack of any activity. I assume this is mostly because of the poor Student Union support, which do not provide any funding and limited support. As a society committee member, it takes a very long time to get any response and run an event. The employability of the university is decent, and it provides a lot of support with their departments and teams, and the internet is overall reliable throughout the campus. Overall, if you're looking to have fun studies, I wouldn't recommend this university. I wish I had chosen a better university that has good engagement and facilities.
Just overall a very good and enjoyable experience. Really interesting modules, lecturers are great and very pleasant environment.
Campus is great and the teachers are very supporting! Lots to learn but very fun!
Lots of events going on in campus
Great lecturers, social life is a hit or miss. Modules are good.
My university is really great and all the professors are amazing too
An amazing community with excellent support from each membwr of the University.
Really good experience. Thanks!
Overall a great experience yet.
Good peers and study environments happy with the professors
Good and knowledgeable faculty. Great ambience.
Good ambience and lovely readily available staff
Not bad. Not many groceries stores nearby but transport is convenient.
Great university to study in. Good faculty for my course and good amenities available.
I am currently enjoying my university experience as it offers not only excellent faculty but also top-notch facilities.
overall a good experience. a bit confusing sometimes
The school is nice and it’s good to be here
Location is good! 2 mins to bus station.
Nothing else to say I'm afraid!:-)
Got here for donation, just wanna finish and go back to my country to enjoy retirement
it does not feel like a university
Had a great Masters year at City
The university is good. However, the career services is not good. There needs to be tie-ups with employers to have more company events.
An excellent school. I haven’t taken part in a great many clubs, but there are certainly plenty.
I enjoyed my time at City University a lot.
Everything at Bayes has just been effortlessly exceptional
University: Alliance House Over the course of 10 months, my time at Alliance House has been an enriching and transformative experience. As soon as I moved in, I was warmly welcomed into a diverse and supportive community, which quickly made me feel at home. Alliance House provided a conducive environment for personal growth and development. The facilities were well-maintained, and the living spaces were comfortable, making it easy to settle in. The staff members were approachable, responsive, and always ready to assist with any concerns or queries. One of the standout aspects of my stay at Alliance House was the strong sense of camaraderie among the residents. We engaged in regular group activities, discussions, and social events that not only fostered friendships but also encouraged personal connections with people from various backgrounds and cultures. In conclusion, my 10-month stay at Alliance House was a period of immense growth, camaraderie, and valuable experiences.

Exceeded my expectations! Had a wonderful time learning and socializing.
Overall great experience. Enjoyed my time t
Excellent place to study with axing faculty
Ive had a very good time here the business school and specifically my course has a very interactive approach to learning and all the staff and faculty are very helpful and open to new ideas.
Really good university. Provides everything accomodation and event details to all students.
Good for getting to know other students and participating in activities related to your career, but advising and technical support are very bad. Emails are often poorly responded (especially admissions office and visa teams); phone calls don't work either, and grades are late releases due to strikes, but professors are providing the knowledge that I really wanted to know.
City has given me a great opportunity to explore myself, the professors were really helpful and supportive to undertake any new opportunities and to expand my knowledge.
Great university and campus. All the professors and staff are very co-operative. I loved my time here.
Very good _ lots to do and fun
A good experience meeting people from all over and learning experience was great.
Its very good college for law and marine studies
A great college with great facilities - dont feel out of place at all and feels like home. the teachers, students and staff entirely are all very sweet and welcoming
The experience was okay for me.
Great experience, affordable, teachers are very supportive, very diverse environment, cafes available at different spots
Good. Very good. Verry very good.
The university supports having the resources, network, and different areas of specialties available to aid individual learning and achievements. I feel very supported when faced with academic challenges.
It's a great University! Staff and lectures are very polite, supportive and very skilled! I am very glad with the environment, with my learning and all people I have met. It's hard, the course will challenge you, but you will be prepared to face the reality, when you have to work and aplly your knowledge out there. Thanks City!
Overall nice experience, situated in the heart of London.
Decent university with good faculties, a great environment to learn and grow
The business school is excellent with very knowledgeable and accomplished teaching staff. The careers service department is exceptional and they really provide you with all of the resources needed to make your job hunt successful.
The City, University of London is good,with excellent facilities and academic staff.The Library is full of resources with long working hours until midnight.
The teaching staff is experienced and well renowned. Alumni connects are frequent. Cafeteria could do with some improvements.
City, University of London is an excellent place to get a masters. It's located in the heart of London city with robust curriculum and well rounded faculties.

Loved my education. Great networking opportunities and a good campus.
Great place to study and make friends
Ok, business school is best party
Learnt a lot more than I expected
Bayes Business School has provided all the necessary tools that students need to maximize their potential, including state-of-the-art facilities, reputable faculty, comprehensive program and challenging course activities.
I am a Ph.D student. working with professionals in my major is interesting. People are helpful. Budget is not enough for conference etc.
Recommended upcoming students to study here
Had a great time studying! It’s been amazing
Great opportunity. Lot of networking options and good effort from university to keep updated.
I had a great time at city! Professors and management was very very helpful, and they considered your circumstances and provide solutions, and they’re always there to help you out.
Not big enough campus. Not enough amenities. Location is alright
City university provides immense opportunities to participate in various clubs and societies to network and connect with fellow students and alumni.
It's adequate, nothing great to write home about tbh
I was really happy that I came to City instead of my back up school. The staff are incredible. And even though it has been a navigation process for me, I have felt supported the whole time.

City has been great for me, teaching me what I wanted to learn while meeting great people along the way!
I studied at Bayes Business School and I appreciate it. The knowledge I gained made it easy for me to get an internship. The professors and classmates were very friendly and nice.
City is in a great location with access to multiple stations and restaurants nearby making it nicer for students. The arwa is lovely
Really good university. The lecturers want you to do well. You can schedule meetings with them if you feel behind. There is plenty of spaces to study. Don't listen to the people that say the campus is small as they don't know what they're talking about. There are so many different campuses such as the city law school, the bayes building, the computer science building, the engineering building and the health and social science building. there are so many places to study here. The students union has also gone above and beyond this year. They have provided so many events- such as the talent show, the culture night etc.. They have also have made it easier for students that are going through financial difficulties by providing hot lunch for 3 pounds and support to anyone struggling with paying rent. The university cares a lot about the students' mental health and they also care about our financial situation.
Very nice university, quite big for the fact it’s in London (zone 1), easy to make friends, good courses, good societies…
So many areas to study or sit with friends and the library is great
Amazing university , amazing teachers bout could be nicer with the grading
