Is Queen Mary A Good University?

I didn't bother turning up for the interview because I don't value it as an institution.

Are you joking? Not being biased but KCL is 21 on the world rankings. Queen Mary is not in the top 100. KCL has one of the best Law departments in the country (although yes QM has a good law department), KCL is the best in Europe for War Studies and has the largest medical school in Europe. Not considering the fact that it is called the oxbridge of Dentistry and known as the best dental uni in the world.

Other than that its not full of asians....its a well mix with lots of Europeans. The Strand campus is the most expensive campus in London. All our campuses are in Central and now the Somerset house at the Strand is part of KCL, making it the largest central campus. Our library which was acquired from the governments public record office is the biggest university library in Europe with over 300 rooms.

I know I am being biased but I live in Mile End with lots of friends who go to QM and have been to QM many times as well. I respect QM but you will have to admit on Kings being a better uni. I had an offer for my subject from QM as well.

A tip for life: Don't think that your academic results (assuming they are true) entitle you to behave like a tit. When you leave the bubble of education you will realise that being a pompous tit will result in many doors being slammed in your face.

Also, why did you apply if you didn't value it? That's a F for common sense I'm afraid.

My signature is for trolling. My actual results were good, but not that good. Anyway, have you heard of a backup? I applied to the universities that I wanted to go to and two backups. By the time Queen Mary responded, I had received several unconditional offers.

Yes I've heard of a backup, in fact I had so a long time before you son. But backups are usually still universities that you value enough to say "If I don't get my first choice(s), then I value this institution enough as a solid runner-up".

I wouldn't put a university I didn't 'value' as a backup unless I was putting one down that, in the event I ****ed up my A Levels catastrophically, I would be forced to attend there. But given that QMUL has high entry standards, that point of argument is also mute. Ergo, your argument has no logic.

Erm, you're an outsider telling me that my 'argument has no logic', even though I'm the one who has lived it. To say that 'I wouldn't' is irrelevant because it doesn't even concern you.

Now, let's look at the logic behind such a move. I received my A-level results last summer and took a gap year (voluntarily) so that I could have a break from education. I didn't apply in Year 13, so I was always taking a gap year. I sent my form off in late October, fully aware of the grades I had achieved (because I had achieved them). Do you understand now? Because you sure as hell didn't whilst making your comment.

I had QMUL as a backup but, as demonstrated by my actions, I didn't have any intention of attending.

Your second paragraph is pretty incoherent, but either way this doesn't prove anything to the contrary. It still makes no sense either way that you had a university you didn't 'value' as a backup.

The second paragraph is chronologically written but maybe you're choosing not to read it correctly.

Perhaps to you it doesn't make sense, but I am confident enough in my own ability and it has paid off. I'm good enough to put down institutions that I don't care about. What doesn't make sense there? I don't want to go to a second-rate institution and I won't be.

I'm sorry that you're taking my opinion to heart.

Oh, and in response to your petty other comment: grow up.

Can we just ignore this guy, he actually mentioned in a previous post that he's trolling, and even if he's not we don't value him enough to give a damn.

According to his posts, he's going to...wait for it....Royal Holloway in Surrey. I couldn't find a smiley which expressed the right amount of irony. Think he's a QMUL reject. Best left alone!

LOL case closed

Not that I'm sticking up for that guy, but what's wrong with royal holloway?

If you can ignore the lunatics that run around campus all day screaming about religions and political ideals; accosting you on the way to class to sign some BS petition to help XYZ get out of prison for a great injustice it's not all bad.

Luckily I only have to venture onto Mile End once a week at most and they usually **** off when I tell them to.



The largest medical school in Europe? Might want to get your facts correct. It's not even the largest in England, by putting an incorrect statement in your first paragraph for an argument based almost entirely on figures you're not doing very well. Not only that but when did large = big? If anything a large cohort almost entirely holds negative aspects compared to a smaller one.

Jus' saiyan.
