    There are alot of UEL students on here, but we have to hide our identity because of the ignorant posh people on here, this is why we need our own sub forum, to be with our own people

    Cool welcome to UEL! Where about's are you from in Italy?

    Don't worry, you wont be the only European student; there are many European students at UEL. I have a lot of friends who are from Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, Portugal, Poland, Romania, Lithuania, Russia, Slovakia, Spain etc.

    What made you apply to UEL?

    I'm jealous, I want to go to Sicily What were the other universities you applied for? I can tell you what ones are the best and worst etc....

    I'm studying International Business, and I'm based at the docklands campus. What campus will you be at? (there are two; one at Docklands, and one at Stratford)

    Student life is very good. If your living on campus, you will love it. The on campus accommodation is very nice, and the apartments are massive. I don't live on campus, but there are plenty of things to do and plenty of parties going on. There are lots of British and European students living on campus! Also you will be in one of the best cities in the world, and there huge amounts of things to do in London (The weather is not as good as Sicily though )

    You are right to be jelous,Sicily is lovely I also applied for City,Roehampton,Greenwich and South Bank i still dont know in which campus i'll be and yes,im going to live in college. London is certainly one of the best of the world,it doesnt matter the weather i have been there so many that i decided to live there the only thing that scare me at the moment are lecturers,study works,exams etc...

    I think you will be based at the Stratford Campus, but the student accomodation is based at the docklands campus, which means you can spend time at both campuses which is good.

    Also dont worry about the work, lectures etc. These are things that all students face when going to university, but it just becomes normal after a while. University has a lot more freedom than school or college does so you will be fine, dont worry! In fact the lectures are pretty cool; you sit in massive lecture theatre and just listen and take notes. Seminars are more interactive and are class room based or pratical based. Theres are mixture of exams, assingments and group work etc.

    In terms of the universities you have applied to, I wouldnt go any where near South Bank! South Bank university is one of the worst universities in the UK and has a realy bad reputation, and there campus is crap! City university is very good and has a very good reputation and the campus is nice. I dont know much about Roehampton so cant help you on that one. Greenwich is also a good university, has a nice historic campus and the reputation is ok. The obvously you have the University of East London which in my opinion is very good, and has a brilliant campus!

    Don't forget City university as well, they are good.

    Thats ok if you need to know anything else I can tell you or you can pm me?

    No the campuses are not far from each other at all. Both campuses are very large, and both have there pro's and con's. You can either travel between campuses through the universities own mini bus service which is free, and runs a few times a day. Or you can get the train, or you can get the bus. The docklands campus has a train station on campus, and the Stratford campus is a five minute walk from Stratford train station.
