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.
