It's very beautiful and riverside
Tips: Good enough to know the background of the college student who should take the correct decision to come abroad because here life is difficult and challenging, so be prepared for everything because my country and new place are different, so be prepared for everything.
Likes (Safety): The campus and faculty are good. The campus is very beautiful and riverside, so we can SEE water in the front and background of the college; so we can SEE the airport because of the corners; so we can SEE the takeoff of the plane, and it is very beautiful.
Dislikes (Internships): Because all are very beautiful lectures and with no discussion and distribution and no discrimination and no recommendation and good teaching faculty and friendliness in nature, this is helpful, and this helps in our future careers, and we get jobs and other things.

In short, it is very international student friendly university.
Tips: In India we used to have exams; here we need to submit a lot of assignments. I would suggest not making assignments from outside since you can get caught and the tutor can fail you. It's better to make the assignment by yourself. I took a scholarship; I got it through my academic excellence. I applied through the university's official website and contacted the team. I am very much satisfied they are very helpful towards international students.
Likes (Public transportation): From university to home, the public transport is very convenient. Even the university provides free shuttle bus services to travel from one campus to another. The TFL is very good and very convenient. It is a little expensive but very convenient. There are buses and tubes.
Dislikes (Internships): The university has a separate team helping the students in getting internships, but I feel the team isn’t that reliable. The student has to help themselves to get the internship since they have a bunch of students who don't even get the part-time job.

Good university. I enjoyed alot during my LLM.
Tips: Actually, it's a good university. It's worth the money, and opportunities are good. You can work in the university itself. Just try to involve yourself decently; don't force too much. Also, you can get help from the student hub, but don't call them; they can't help that way much. Rather, visit them. They help you financially as well if you can't get a job in the UK.
Likes (Public transportation): Transportation is good. I was living off campus near Whitechapel for some time, and then I changed it to Kennington. But even if you are on campus, they have free shuttle service. You don't have to hustle a lot. You have tram, DLR, Tube, and bus options.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Nowadays, as a rule the situation in the UK is changing. It is difficult to land a job where you can get sponsorship and then settlement. Although if you work hard, you can get the right option. It's difficult but not impossible. So give it a try. It will be good.

Be prepared before you come to the UK.
Tips: If you are coming to UEL for any of the MBA or Cyber courses, please expect most of the students to look and talk like you. Indian students are going to make up 80-90% of the class attendance, so culturally, there wasn’t much of a difference, really. Sort out your accommodation beforehand and make sure you keep everything in writing. House scams are way too common; try to make your payments through credit cards. It’s easier to get refunds on them if you ever get scammed. I was a Football and cricket national-level player, so I did get 30% scholarship on my fees. Overall, I was a little disappointed by my course. The faculty was good, but not permanent, so we didn’t always know who was going to teach us. I’d have also liked some more classes and group activities.
Likes (Public transportation): London has one of the best transportation systems in the world. Not just the tubes, but the buses are a big part of your daily life. It’s best if you can come prepared about the different types of tube lines there are, but even if you study for the tubes and buses around the area you’re going to be living, it will do the job.
Dislikes (Part time work): Since the limit for students is only 20hr/week, it was quite manageable for me given I had classes only on the weekends. On campus jobs are tough to find, so unless you have a reference, my advice would be to find a job off campus. Most jobs pay minimum wage; if someone offers less than that, please don’t work for them. You can find yourself in trouble.

Resourceful and industry-oriented university.
Tips: UEL is a very conducive and career-oriented university. Multiple avenues are available for a variety of support, including mental health, financial help, and career advice. Although I did not avail any resources, I can attest that professors are very helpful and amiable. I would recommend doing in-depth research about career options and the job market after the course you are interested in, so you are not struggling to find employment post completion of studies.
Likes (Indian Food): London is one of the world's most multicultural cities, and authentic food from almost every country and culture can be found in the right areas. Eating out regularly can become expensive, especially for students, budget options and deals are always available.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Completing an eligible course gives you the option to apply for the Graduate Route visa being changed to 18 months from 24 months, which allows you to work full-time in any job. However, the Graduate Route visa cannot be extended, and if one wants to remain in the UK, eligibility must be assessed for other visas, such as Global Talent or Skilled Worker.
