London Met- really that horrible?

It's not great, but it's not exactly the gulag.

TSR is populated with academic snobs, who turn their noses up at anyone who hasn't got at least 7 A*s at GCSE, A*AA at A-level and doesn't attend Oxbridge, Imperial or LSE.

It's not the best university in the world, but it is the largest university in the UK, covering the most ground. It doesn't have very high standards, but that might suit some people; not everyone is an academic genius.

It's not even the worst uni in London. University of East London is far inferior.

I'm not actually all that interested in going there, I was just wondering why everyone has chosen to make it their number one 'horrible' school.

London Met and Imperial College are not part of the University of London.

I dont really think london met is dat horrible following my experience just dat most of the activities or modules there, they engage students into are boring, obviously I think dat is applicable to every other university as well. Not withstanding that the library opening hours is mind blowing because most university library hours operates 24hrs meaning londonmet dont encourage their students to study hard.Besides the negative aspects of it, I will say the university atmosphere is the best I have seen so far in terms of its cultural diversity,,,,,,bear in mind londonmet is the largest UK University that is cultually diverse, with the best laboratory in Europe as well...........Anyway i think is enjoyable, it is left for you to deveolop yourself as an individual.

Before anyone tries slating me off, I am a current student at London Metropolitan University. I have just finished my first year and moving onto my second year. I hope to give a comprehensive insight into what it is like at the University.

I am doing Aviation Management, which is a hard course with many assignments and exams. The modules are actually well taught and the teachers have worked in the industry so they know what they are talking about. There are some students who don't want to try hard enough, that is their problem. I want to do well and if employers see that you have worked hard for your degree, no matter where you go, they will give you a chance.

My course is in the process of being changed. Instead of everything being rushed like the years before I entered the University, there is more time for teaching and assignments are no longer crammed in. I personally think that is a better system, but I know what people are like on this forum as soon as London Met is mentioned.

Facilities are ok, not the best but definitely not the worst and trust me, I have seen bad. Trips are regularly organised by the department to Rolls Royce, Amsterdam, America to have networking opportunities with industry leaders such as Boeing, Airbus etc.

I am yet to have any issues with administration and the handing back of coursework. The feedback has helped me improve my marks over the first year. I am one of those people who take the first year seriously.

But yes, that is my insight. I hope prospective students are not put off by the viewpoint of most on this forum. No one is a failure and it is what you make of the course that the employers will be impressed with!

PS, I don't work for London Met or have been asked to say this because I know someone will try and say it.

I did the extended foundation science there and achieved AAAA on all modules(and no it wasnt easy). I worked really hard and im not thick. I didn't have the regular marks (Alevel etc) because i was very ill in my a level years, but attended the top school in my county. Not that that is relevant. Who cares about top school, top uni. It just get on my nerves and really makes people feel inferior just because they didnt go to the top uni in the country. You get out what you put in. The science labs are excellent at lon met. Better than any other unis labs that i have seen. I actually really enjoyed my year. I will admit i didn't join many societies as i was commuting so didn't really get time. The staff are helpful, but like with all unis you have to teach yourself through study especially with biological sciences. Hope thats a help. Just thought i will give you an informed answer.
