Hello, is law school located in your campus?
I’m sorry you experienced bad things in London I’ve lived here my whole life I’m used to it but hopefully you can move to a nicer part
Are you American? Where are you from?
Hey, Thanks for the insights. I have received an offer letter from QMUL for Msc in Management, really looking forward for a good student cohort, networking and brainstorming sessions. is it really worth it when it comes to ROI from the QMUL? Please let me know as I have to select between Exeter and QMUL. Thanks in anticipation. Regards, Gunit 😉
The fact the engineering building looks like it’s about to fall down is so ironic I laughed ahaha
hahahaha right?? 😅
lmaooo
AHAHHAHAHAAHAHAH ME TOO
nah the fact its so old and standing shows good engineering
Queen Mary is the ULTIMATE university experience in London. Besides the excellent academic staff, life in Mile End Campus is a DREAM. 7 years a later the uni life is deep in my soul. I loved every day I passed there. The people I met, the environment all were far above expectations.
Thank you this made me really happy cause i'm going to start there soon!
I lived on campus for 3 years (scape included) and although mile end isn't a great area, I have an attachment towards it because of all the wonderful memories I have made here
I want to go for MSC physics,, I have 75% in bsc ,, can I get admission there?? ,, Plz reply mr
@@Samira-sb3lvhow’s it been?
Do you feel that kings is a better college ?
Very information... THANKS for being truthful
Thank you so much for a brave and honest review! No one spoke about the graveyard this has been really helpful!!!
Bro I am kinda scared of the graveyard too
i just got back from offer holders day at qmul and i loved the graveyard. idk how it looked like a few years ago, but it is beautiful with all of those flowers blooming
I must point out that as a current physics student at QM, our administration is actually really useful. I've changed from BSc Physics and Astrophysics to MSci Physics and Astrophysics to MSci Theoretical Physics super quickly and efficiently every time. I've also requested to go for a second year module when going into third year and they were super helpful about it! So I believe it depends on the school/department you're in. You're so right about the food options, healthy food is hard to find when you have spoons right next door and Bancroft SUCKS! Great video :)
Thank you so much for the insight Jennifer! It's good to know that the administration is better in other departments, I was too general with my point. Hahaha, I totally get you with spoons, spent a large proportion of my time at QM there
hows master in business analytics there , i have an offer letter from there but I'm thinking about it
Hlo jennifer i am planning to take MSc astrophysics from QM University and i would like to know the educational atmosphere and placement facilities etc
Jennifer are these just two euphemisms for just taking up space at University? Astrophysics etc?
Damn your doing physics, probably the hardest degree you can do so good luck
Thank you so much for this video it was so helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
I cannot put the facts the way Claudia you have put it! These are so so accurate and I have spend one year at QM ; the careers team really suck! I have to now apply for summer analyst positions despite having excellent work experience, I don't think I will get any coz there is no support from QM Careers. If Claudia or anyone else can help me how to deal with this situation: editing CV as per application, Prep for video interview & online exams etc, I would be very grateful.
Dude what course did u do? Can I have ur snap or insta?
I am considering applying to QMUL and I am so glad you have addressed the expectation x reality on the campus location. Living in Brazil, I have never heard of Mile End and now I'll bear in mind the pictures and what you said about it hahah also I think it resonates what you have said about the cheap rent on the pros video (cheaper location, lower building quality)
Mile End isn’t bad it’s average
I went to QM, met so many Brazilians there - such nice and fun people :)
I live in London and just want to say that all the famous major cities in the world have their flaws, except maybe Dubai and Doha.
@@McFlashh Dubai also has flaws due to being quite a new city, the public transport is not as big as other major cities
edit: by big i mean extensive
I live in the area and while its underpriveleged and has its downsides overall its fine and there are nice places to it.
"where is big ben" hahaha omg. this was really informative! I was looking at a short study abroad program in london and these were some of my thoughts too.. it would be a lottttt more expensive and would it really be that different from studying at home? I think i'd rather just save my $$ and visit on my own time!
Glad it was helpful! Yes, studying abroad is a huge decision and the cost is definitely one of the main cons, especially if its an expensive city
"there is a graveyard in the middle of campus" brings me back to my elementary memories where its located literally next to a graveyard and I would have to pass by it everyday like in the morning at 6am DAMN
why do schools build themselves so close to graveyards FOR REALS 😫
such a helpful video thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for this very informative video!
My pleasure honey
I studied my Engineering Degree there in the 90's, when it was QMW, UoL. And although I didn't make the most of everything the University had to offer, I still have great memories of the place, it's people and the wonderful 3 years that I studied there. And a QMUL Degree is very highly regarded, don't doubt that for a minute.
What do you mean by you didn’t make use of everything the uni had to offer? What are the things you’re referring to
Hi Clouds. I love your videos and have been binge-watching them since Monday. Do you have any idea how is the Computer Science building? I think it's a different building from an engineering one, and there are literally just 2 pictures on their website. I am about to start an MSc in AI. Also, do you know if a graduate centre is available for anyone to enter- if I want to study there as MSc student? I heard that the library has not have much study space.
Tbh I get the barts point but med students everywhere tend to have only med friends, its a consequence of the aids schedule, I do have friends from barts however its hard finding time to hangout. everything else was spot on tbh.
Where would you suggest to live for a first year? Where it is the safest and with a kitchen accomplice. Also where did u live? Thanks for two great vids
of course the business school doesnt have a good career service haha girl you should've tried going to other schools at qm which are waaay more professional than SBM
Is there difference in the campus between qm barts and the rest of qm, which one have better facility?
LMAO no big ben?
I studied at QMUL before I love it's close to where I live
Tysm it was really very useful
Congratulations on graduating before the latest SARS outbreak!
Went theer in the '80s..LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT.But I am a Cockney and this was home from home.
Do you realise that the Mile End station is 5 mins away from uni and just one stop to Stratford city Mall which is one of the biggest in London, with countless restaurants etc. Also, you're like 10 mins away via train to the CENTRE of London. No hate, but that point was super unrealistic and misleading.
I completely agree, Mile End is in close proximity to a lot of great places in London - I even mentioned in my other video about QMUL. In the context of this video, my point was that the area where the university is located itself is not the nicest, which I still stand by. Does not necessarily mean that you are far from places that are great.
Even though it’s in east london it’s SO close to central- I should know since I live on campus and my view is of the gherkin. It’s also a great student area for food places. Also, there are loads of food places if you walk further down and they’re not all kebab shops. And even though I know this is a cons video the graveyard is so rich with history: it’s a graveyard for Jewish people from the First World War and I personably think it’s a really valuable part of campus :)
I completely agree that it's close to central, it's super convenient and I do mention this in my QM pros video. The point that I raised in this video was not it's proximity to central, but the area in itself. Also I do think the graveyard has a really valuable history and definitely not discrediting the lives of those who were buried - that point was mainly used as an example of how the QM campus isn't the most appealing looking (I think this is indisputable) and how it might look pretty creepy to some people.
Why am i watching this 3 weeks before moving?
I CANNOT AGREE WITH YOU MORE ON NO.3 i.e. how SLOW QM is. I was really looking forward to join the UNI for my Post-graduate studies but will not be doing so for the same reasons. Till date, i have not received feedback on my application and even further, the school does not maintain a channel of communication. It is sad really..
same here, its been about 3 months still no feedback from them :(
@TazmanianBeats any news?
I'm really interested in pursuing an Msc at QM but those comment turn me off....
@@marcoboldini7180 Hi, thankfully they responded, and they are much more responsive now
would like to disagree. I have been in constant touch w their admission team and they reply in less than one day. Got my offer letter in stipulated time.
I was actually scared when I clicked on this vid because I'm going to queen mary but if anything it makes me feel safer with my choice lmao mile end is sketchy? One bad thing about queen mary is that it's in London? She fully picked the wrong uni
me too
Samee haha
a fucking men
Hey how are you doing in qmul now?
@@yogeshs7932 I ended up going to UEA for sport reasons
Off to Barts for an MSc in Psychological Therapies next September. Woop woop
I'm going there for MSc Regenerative Medicine! 😁
How is Queen Mary's for Msc in Advanced Computer Science? I received an offer, I like the curriculum and the research department.
Image you build was of London and of course queen mary is not in central london girl. But not too far as well. 20 mins. You can’t get a whole london outside your university.😂😂
Literally. QMUL is definitely not the university to apply to for all that. You'd be better off going to UCL, KCL or LSE for a central London experience. It's like wanting Midtown/Times Square NYC and then moving to the Bronx.
love your hair !!!! hair tutorial
heatless waves huhuhu
They did not even add me to the alumni linkedin group. Let alone inform me about it. Its like they take you in and then throw you away like they do not know you.
Thanks for the cons about the university :)
Could you please make video about the employability after studies at QMUL?
Thanks Raja! I will make an employability video in the future, but I am not the best representation as I did a masters at another uni after QMUL
Queen Mary is in zone 2 so not central London like zone 1. We do have the best London Campus though and during lockdown all other unis including UCL, imperial, LSE etc came to our university for the social life haha
Is LBS only for post graduate or for undergraduate courses too?
KFC and nandos sounds more than enough for food!
very debatable I'd say
I don't recommend studying anywhere in London. Unless you're particularly fond of the city. Smaller "student" towns are so much nicer.
True, but finance wise, students living in london already save as they don’t pay for accomodation.
@@abdurrahmanchowdhury5120 bro students living in London dont pay for accommodation? Then how bro?
Is Queen Mary university of London good for Msc in business analytics now?
Hi, is the career services used by the whole school eg The law department or do they specialize per department?And was Admin slow all year round or was it a one time thing? -
I received a conditional offer for the Law LLB-so this is very important to me thanks in advance:)
So I have gotten other viewers who told me the admin in their departments is a lot quicker, so I think it depends on what QM department you are in. As for the career services, I believe there is one for the school as a whole, and then some independent resources per department (so Law school would have its own career resources for its students).
Also - in regards to Law, it's kind of like medicine where QM is actually very highly ranked in the UK. QM Law is known to be one of the best Law courses in the country, so I think certain cons mentioned in this video do not apply to it.
Hi...are u in QMUL or graduated? If yes pls share ur experience there as I have also received an offer from There
That graveyard thing is really weird!
Same with City University of London. Went to Ombudsman for 3 complaints against them. Got good money back though 4k plus. MBA course also. Rankings are so BS these days.
Any MSc.Computational Engineering from Queen Mary University of London?
I recently received my unconditional offer Letter from QMUL should I go for it
Does anyone graduate from Qmul aerospace engineering. I was wondering about the job opportunities for aerospace engineers from Qmul . I'm planning to do my Master's in aeromaterials and structures at Qmul. Is it worth doing there, and I'm having an offer letter from Uni Leeds, Sheffield, for M.E. Aerospace Engineering. Should I go for that??
Is QMUL good for MSc in digital marketing?
ur expectation v reality is killing me hahahahahhahhaha
it was the truth :(
I have received offer letter for Bsc Management from QM and Sheffield, according to you which one should I go for ?
It really depends on you, there are a lot of factors that go into such a big decision. I'd advise you weigh out the following things: Culture of uni, ranking, costs involved, people in the uni, location, city, employability, social life, future prospects
I was confused between Ucl, Qmul, and Cass. I chose Qmul for acf!
@@amirqazi15any regrets?
@@Rielle5222 no regrets. 3 best years of my life. Secured a full time offer at a big 4 firm, graduated top of the class, and now off to LSE to pursue finance. What a great time to reply to this comment. Woah!
Pretty sure people do care about your opinion since 2000 people have watched this already !
Helo sister how Queens marry uni are availabe in mbbs cours plz tell me
No City University of London and Bayes Business school have like a graveyard with thieves in front of the university roaming around. Many students were mugged. You were so lucky with Queen Mary with food options :)
I am planning to go to Queen Mary for MSc in Aerospace Structures and Materials. After watching your video, I am in doubt right now. About career services, you said they are not good. For me, career service is very important. They should find a job for me otherwise there is no point to attend this university. I should consider my other options then.
Heyy Im kind of stuck in the same position but with geography with business management. Feeling very stuck right now and stressed
@@kcg5187 Hey. I have no idea about geography and management. I want to study in London. Queen Mary is the only university in London where MSc in Aerospace Structures and Materials exist. I graduated from my masters at X university in 2020, Due to covid-19 pandemic, I couldn't do any internships because companies didn't hire. I went through very unlucky times. This time, at Queen Mary, I would like to make another try for my future. I hops, that time, there will be no another virus type pandemic. I wish you good luck in your decision but I suggest you to talk with Queen Mary alumni as many as you can in your field. They will give you good idea about the university and your course. There are many factors you should consider when making decision and for me, it is London. I want to study in London this time.
Hello. I want to study at QMUL but want to ask; what's the lower price near the University ı can rent? Thanks very much...
I mean east London in general is a bit cheaper - avoid Stratford as its new development so more expensive
@@devsehgal7432 Thanks
the finance department is one of the worst, i paid half of tuition my father had a stroke, told them I have to go back and will not be able to continue my studies. it was only 3 weeks through the course and they refused to refund me the money. the professors were so bad and unseless, thats y when i decided to go back to grad school I chose SOAS over this shithall. P.S. a lecturer (a useless one) who was kicked out of SOAS for sharing the exam questions was immediately hired by QM because his wife was at QM.
Your point about London not being what you expected is completely on you not doing adequate research and from what you've described your lack of consideration and awareness that every city has different areas. Using this as a "reason" for not going to Queen Mary's is completely baseless and not very positive towards London in general.This video isn't actually helpful as a relevant guide to going to Queen Mary's.
Lizzie we get it you’re a qm student but you’ve got to realise stop being salty and all protective of your uni Many of my friends been QM and they’re still unemployed
@@cyrussabaee7907 I’m still in secondary school. Though your comment has really highlighted my point about why you shouldn’t make assumptions when you haven’t done any research! Thank you so much !!
@@cyrussabaee7907 Maybe they need to apply for more jobs. Getting a degree doesn't automatically get you a job. I hope you know this.
In my experience the school of business adin is wack but a lot of the other schools seem to be better! also dont forget green pepper for that post drapers chow down!
the graveyard is an original cemetery from the original group of jewish people (from around 1733) that immigrated to mile end. dont u think thats a bit insensitive to list as a con?
Were you after a doctor or dentist boyfriend why it mattered to you medical students at the St. Barts campus stuck to themselves?
I mean, what did you really expect from Tower hamlet's
awh damn it looked good on google images :(
I just got an offer letter from QMUL. Please tell me if the education is good :(
there are a lot of pros to going to Queen Mary! Please watch my video on the 10 best things, I personally had an amazing time at QMUL
@@cloudsjoo i did. But i also got an offer letter from Queens belfast, i am very confused between the two.
@@samiharahman1700 queens Belfast is seen as the best university in Northern Ireland, Queen Mary's probably doesn't have the same high status as that. Depends on your priorities.
@@adjjal thank you. I chose the university of Manchester as my firm, and Queens belfast as my insurance. I declined the offer from QMUL.
@@samiharahman1700 happy to hear it, Manchester is so good, hope you get in💖
How much for a master in queens mary university???
Can you expand on the safety aspect of it? It seems like the perfect uni but I am so scared of it being a dangerous area, especially as a solo female. I've heard you will be targeted if you're not from the area too, how true is that?
hi! I'm a current QM student and i've lived around the mile end area my whole life (queen mary is actually just my local university). I'd say mile end is honestly not that dangerous, I've walked home alone to and from friends' houses all the time around there and nothing has ever happened.. It just feels a bit sketchy / superficially dangerous because the area and local community is a bit unfriendly.
@@teacup2301 thank you for this reply! This is insightful
any premeds studying abroad here next spring?
Kebaab shops 💀🤣🤣🤣🤣
I agree with you. Their administration is very slow🤦
hopefully they renovate before 2021
What course are u applying for? I might do an MS economics in Sept 21

Who's doing economics at QMUL? Bump. Bump.
Barts don't want to be part of QM
I'm coming this year for business management
really turned me off QMUL lol
me too, It’s so recent
#10 is the reason you have #5, because Barts is a top Med School and QM bosses are forcing us to become QM without giving anything back to Barts.
You're so right, administration and career services at QMUL are so baaaad 👎 Especially if you're a non native speaker they are as useful as a punch in the face
How diverse was the uni in terms of black people?
QM is extremely diverse, there is definitely a large BAME population in campus. Most of my friends were actually POC, I don't know the actual stats but I'm sure the uni ranks quite high in diversity.
@@cloudsjoo hi! was the diversity similar to UCL/KCL ?? I’m applying to UCL and KCL and really want to have POC friends ❣️

Hey its East London don't disrespect the ends
East london is absolut shithole. Everyon know dis
@@Stinkmeaner420 everyon? XD I don't know about everyon
3:43 well babes i’m sorry they lied to u and everyone that grew up outside of london💀
Julian Assange, who is he? Does he matter?
Honestly, I feel like with all that you've said it is quite evident that you didn't do enough (if any) research before applying to QM. I mean, how did you not know that the uni was in London???
Also, there's so much entitlement and ludicrous bitching and moaning going on in this video with respect to location, food, gyms, etc. Like babes, I went to QM too, there are so many gym options that are cheap if you pay attention, and in the same vein, there is a plethora of options when it comes to dining out that is both healthy, and easy on your pocket (IN MILE END!). You obviously didn't spend any amount of time to discover them, and that's on you, your laziness in that regard cannot be attributed to a university not delivering it to you lol.
And finally, the ranking system isn't the same across the board, I hope you know that (I mean, that would be considered basic research if anything whilst picking a uni to study at), it depends on the department (Law, Engineering, Finance, etc.) and the rating for some of these departments are really high, Law for example is on par with LSE, and King's.
All in all, you made an ill-informed decision, probably wasted your time at uni cribbing about all that you don't have instead of exploring and experiencing all that London has to offer, and in the end decided to make a pretty tragically put-together video on why you think you didn't get the experience you were "promised".
Moral: Be smart, stay humble, and look inward.

Oi, my uncle's local Mosque is in that picture. What are trying to say?!
BTW I had the exact same experience in Paris. Don't go, it's a shithole.
QMUL = AWFUL student quality! Enough said.
The key con is that QMC is granting its own degrees rather than UoL ones.
What does this mean excactly ? I mean it is a university london Uni Right ?
QM drop put here! I'm a lot happier at my new uni. Better London unis out there too!

Nando’s is so great though 😂
you are a villian
I went here, graduated and had scholarships for Oxbridge - ended up at Cambridge. London is a big city, bimbo. St. Pauls is awesome, but just because it's in London it doesn't mean that QMC is next door.BTW, Queen Mary is a college, sweetie, not a university.
The uni is literally called Queen Mary University of London??? No idea what you're on about but sure
Lol its literally a university, idk what u on about
No need to be so patronising, it advertises itself as a London Uni and it is quite literally a university
It's called a university in marketing to attract ignorant foreign students who tend to look down at colleges as lesser institutions.
@@cloudsjoo It's called a university in marketing to attract ignorant foreign students who tend to look down on colleges as lesser institutions.
I work for QMUL (HSS - humanities and social sciences) and not everything this girl is saying is true 😂 for a start, Mile End is a Very Nice part of East London running along the regent's canal, a two bed flat in the area starts at £500,000 and houses in the Bow area (100 metres away) routinely sell for over a £1m, look this up on Rightmove or any other real estate agency in the area
Mile end is a predominantly Asian area with local authority run social housing for the borough's, Bangladeshi population hence why this clown girl is, without any reference, claiming mile end is sketchy when it isn't. I've worked at QMUL for 15 years and mile end has NEVER been dangerous in any way shape or form
Crime, violent crime, drugs and gambling is far worse in CHINA TOWN in West London than anywhere in East London (I've lived in London all my life) this girl is talking out of her rear end

That's their opinion because one could easily say there are parts of Knightsbridge one wouldn't be safe in (for example).
