What's Queen Mary like??

ive applied as well and...im not so sure either. i didn't see it though so im not the right person to pass judgement, right?
on top of that i didnt even get a reply yet so im quite nervous...how is it going out? i mean...do i really need to have pep spray with me costantly? my friend went and she said it was 'in the ghetto' of course she exaggerated and i know that is not true but still...is it true that the area will improve soon for the Olympiads?

can anyone give any info about their economics course, L100? and just out of curiosity if someone wanted to change their course from straight economics to maths and econ. at QM is it really difficult?

I'm not sure about changing courses in the Economics department but in Law its quite easy-as long as there's space I suppose you can change courses and for joint degrees there isn't a set number of places avaliable.

Improvement is happening all the time. You would love QMUL in 2006. And yes, the olympics are having an effect already, I've heard some of the atheletes and people from Olympics will be using the Student Accomodation during their stay.

Is pepper spray even legal for us civilians to carry? Mile End Road is a complete dump at night. However it's still not the worst as Stratford feels like a dump even by daytime.

i'm not sure. i think you might need a licence. although you can carry a pen with you. its not much but its a good self-defence weapon.

^ I agree with a pen being usefull. My friend was attacked but thankfully had a pen and managed to sketch the criminal and this lead to him being caught. East london is half as bad as people make out, the crime rate is high and as long as your sensible .. you should be fine.

Hehe, yeah, I had an interview last week. Still waiting on an offer though... all in good time, hopefully.

I thought the location would be worse than it is. Right in between two Central/District line stations, and the 25 to the middle of London? Yes please. :biggrin:

not staying at halls then? I'm considering it... the whole experience, meeting new people. It'd make going out with mates from uni a LOT easier, thats for sure. As for shopping, 25 to Oxford Circus. Sorted :wink:

I think the location is fantastic - it's close enough to central london without the extortionate prices...and what other London unis have the space to have their own proper campus? :smile:

Woolly - ditto.

The 25 takes 50 minutes to Oxford Circus - make it 55 minutes if you're taking it from Mile End! :biggrin:

no im staying in an apartment, its not that the halls are bad (because I've seen them) but i just can't see myself living there. And yeah im glad i can jump on the 25 and get to oxford circus (with minimum effort) :biggrin:

...although buses take a lot of time, its a lot cheaper to travel by bus. I was in london for a week and spent £30 just on travelling via tube! Thats pretty expensive since, where i live, a term bus pass (lasting 4months) only costs £64

Your having a laugh - right?
Royal Holloway near to London? I'd get to C.London quicker from Brighton on a fast Thameslink! Isn't it in Epsom[1] which is in some fields in Surrey? Zone 6?? with a really bad train line to even get to Waterloo.
