Student Ratings for London Metropolitan University

Student satisfaction:
4.0 (based on 94 student ratings)
Facebook ratings:
4.0 (based on 94 student ratings)

“The support from lecturers has been more than enough for me, as we have a preparation session before each assessment and we receive feedback immediately after them. This helps the students to improve for future assignments.”

“The university is ethnically diverse with many international students, which allows you to meet more different kinds of people from different walks of life. However, I wish the accommodation were slightly more affordable, as although there are various options, I wouldn’t consider any of them especially cheap.”

“I love the fact that the university lets you do things your own way without interfering with your ideas, as long as it’s done correctly. I could ask for more group assignments though, which would allow us students to get to know each other a little better while we study.”
