Student Reviews for Middlesex University

4.1 (based on 903 student reviews)

“I love studying at Middlesex University because of the cultural diversity. I’ve felt very comfortable as an international student as I was able to meet so many people from different cultural backgrounds.”

“I loved the social life aspect of my experience, as there are many societies and clubs to choose from, which I would especially suggest making use of at the start of your first semester. I wish the timetables weren’t so spaced out between lectures, because sometimes I’ve had to wait around for my next class instead of finishing for the day.”
