Excellent faculty, practical learning, and great student life

Tips: But before joining the university, it is necessary for a person to be ready for the cultural shift in the culture that is expected at the university, especially when living alone in a new place. The reality is that even if people at the university are highly hospitable, it does take a while to adjust. But the point here is that I have not been offered any scholarship at the university, but there are partial scholarships available to apply for.

Likes (Quality of faculty): It is also important to add that the professors in my department are very friendly and do not lock their doors at any point in time; therefore, it becomes easier for one to contact them whenever one has a question outside lectures. The style of teaching applied by them is very practical in nature and includes both theory and case studies along with group discussion, thus creating an industrial environment.

Dislikes (Part time work): It is never an easy task to get employment as a student since jobs are scarce and competitive. Yet, outside the campus, there are a lot of job opportunities in shopping stores and restaurants for a student who wants to start looking at an early hour of the day. It is very difficult to balance studies and work for twenty hours; yet, it is doable with proper management. The pay rates range from u00a310-u00a312 per hour.

Interactive, social and high supported university life as a student in London.

Tips: Joining City has been a smooth transition from high school. I have found the university to be quite supportive when it comes to the different facts of student life in London. I did not avail of any scholarships as I applied through Clearing. However, the City does have academic scholarships for post-final exams wherein a certain part of tuition is cut off if you are within 10% of the highest scores. I have enjoyed my journey at City and London both. It has been a life-changing experience which I can positively say would have a great impact on my life in times to come.

Satisfied - worth the money

Tips: There are a lot of Indian students, so no big cultural shift. There was one scholarship from the university of 2000 pounds which was provided to most of the international students. Very satisfied with the university - better than many higher rank universities at various levels. We get good support from the university.

Likes (Indian Food): It is very easy to get access to Indian vegetables and groceries within London. Though there are a lot of Indian restaurants, the cost of living in London is so high that it is not affordable to eat outside regularly. Cooking is a must - you may eat outside once or twice a week.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): At present, the job market is not that great in the UK where the demand is less while the competition is so high. Especially it is very difficult to get a job with sponsorship. India seems to thrive better. There is a 50% chance for me to settle permanently in this country.

There weren't any internships given by the college.

Tips: There are scholarship opportunities available; you just need to inquire. I was fortunate to find a great opportunity, and with a good profile, I was able to secure a bursary from the university, which greatly helped with the transition and made me feel more comfortable.

Likes (Indian Food): Indian food is almost everywhere in London, and it is easily available due to the population. As London is quite a diverse place, food from other parts of the world is also worth trying, as it is more inclined to suit most palates. But yes, I preferred cooking at home.

Dislikes (Internships): There weren't any internships given by the college. You need to go look for them. The guidance was great in terms of understanding the course, the practical application. I'm glad I chose the City as it gave me good exposure to industry experts through guest lectures.
