“For me Queen Mary is the complete package, it is a well respected University and part of the prestigious University of London. It has a safe, attractive and friendly campus with excellent student accommodation. The campus is located in an exciting part of London and offers a range of venues such as bars, cafes, restaurants, shops as well as sport and gym facilities. The University has an active Student Union which offers hundreds of sport and social societies, as well as welfare and academic support.”
Tom Youngman, BA Geography, 2009-2012
