    • Lectures were all online recordings from 4 years ago in my first year even though every other course was in person. The quality of lectures is poor and the staff are not great - even forgetting to give us required data sheets in exams

    • Libraries have a high capacity but are still almost always full. Campus computers are top notch. Study rooms have to be booked weeks in advance.

    • London cost of living is high. Travelling between campuses and sports grounds and other university locations is expensive. Food outlets on campus are also expensive. Accommodation off campus is affordable
