Queen Mary 2011 Applicant's Thread

Applying for LAW!!
Anybody been there? is it nice? lol
Never went to an open day... Was kinda a last minute thing applying there

AMAZING. the campus is so nice, and it's got everything you need within walking distance.
accommodation is awesome too

I'm applying for Psychology, but I have no idea what to expect because I didn't go to an open day. And I didn't hear a lot of positive views.

QMUL is what it is. I think it's a very marmite university, because of it's location and London life in general you either have people that love it or hate it. You've got to think to yourself about whether you'd like the lifestyle of living in a large urban area. If you come from a smaller town it will be more dangerous, it will be more dirty and it will be more expensive. On the flip side theres more to do and you'll experience so much you havn't before.

Some people are very molly cuddled and happy in their middle class suburban lifestyle and really don't get on with the area or the lifestyle. However it confuses me why they've even applied to QMUL in the first place knowing where it is. LSE/UCL/King's all have the same pluses and minuses with the exception their campuses are in nicer parts of London.

If you're looking for a quiet very studenty self contained lifestyle then go to somewhere like Exeter or Warwick. If you're looking for the experience of a big city and what goes with it, then QMUL will be more to your tastes. The campus itself and the teaching are top notch.

Queen Mary doesn't have much going in terms of scholarships, does it? I'm applying for a history MA and there's pretty much one bursary and that's it... London is so expensive, specially for aussies!

Biomedical Sciences

Hells yeah! I'm doing Human Genetics, but we all come under the same life science umbrella...

OH EM GEE!

plus, we both applied to KCL and Queen mary!!

That's GREAT! (:

That isn't just Queen Mary. You'll find if very difficult to find bursarys for MA students in the UK, especially if you're not from the EU. You can always apply directly to funding bodies or to charities for funding.

Good luck with finding some money!

Yesterday I finally heard from QM - got an interview for English
