Is London Met a good uni?

Graduates of the London Met are automatically granted an audicence with the Queen, the Pope and the Dalai Lama. ( You just flash your London Met card and give the secret hand shake and you are in )

London Met has produced more Nobel Laureates than Cambridge.
It has a bigger budget than Harvard.
It has smarter students than Princeton.
And better faculty than Oxford

High level parties from Oxford and Harvard have gone to the London Met to learn the secret to London Met's spectacular success.

London Met ! The destination of choice for the super brilliant with 6 or more A levels.

No it's not very safe, but if you are aware of your surroundings and keep your head down (LOL) you should be fine.

Holloway Road isn't that bad. Just don't do anything stupid or look at anyone for too long with a weird stare and you'll be fine.

And don't use your phone either.

Or listen to your iPod / mp3 player

Or carry a purse/handbag.
Or show any money in public.

You could ask London Met what careers their Music and Media Management students go into (specific job titles and names of companies, not just a generalisation). If you are unhappy, check whether you could at this point withdraw from your offer, or ask London Met to release you. When they release you, apply through Clearing to other unis (or UCAS Extra if you can still apply through them). If 29 IB points is approximately BBC/BCC grades at A2 level (or 260-280 points), the course you have applied to at London Met asks for considerably lower than that (160-200 points inc. at least 140 from 2 or more A levels). You should be able to get into a better uni, but if all else fails this year, you could always apply next year. Better to be on a good course at a good uni that is right for you, rather than start a course that is not suitable.

Thank you so much!!!!! You have no idea how reassuring it is 2 get a reply! =D I think i might look into clearing and see if i get any better offers. I'm not sure how it all works but was also told today that it is always possible to transfer to a different uni. I guess even if i start at met i can see how it goes from there. thank you so much!

Its generally quite difficult to transfer from a "lower ranked" uni in terms of points to a higher ranked one unless you get a good 1st in your 1st year so if i were u id try to go through clearing, its not as much hassle as you think and you could get into a much more suitable uni. i know this cos a friend of mine tried it from leicester to kings and failed.
