• But I have friends who have been trying get job but it is very tough for international students right now as UK is trying to filter out international students due to immigration issues.

Plus it is inside the campus itself so daily commuting was easy for me. There are a lot of groups on Facebook where students share information about availability of rooms. So that's definitely worth checking out.

No support from the college for placements. College faculty might give your recommendations for boosting your employability.

Close to London which is the financial capital of England, the Course was being offered for more than 20+ years, a Reputable university.

The average post-study placement opportunities at the university were dictated based on student GPA's. Companies that would offer placements in the university were available to students who performed in their respective field of study at a level of distinction.

Aspects that drove me to accepting the offer of admission was the central location of the university. I also was drawn to the fact that the university was strong and well known for the LLB Law program I was attending.

I feel very strongly and the conservation of animals, especially marine animals. There is a growing problem with plastic pollution and it needs to stop, we are killing our oceans FAST. I joined this course so that I am able to help in many ways other can't and hopefully save the planet.

Great campus people are really supportive and helpful. Really willing to help you settle and support you throughout the process. This university seems to really value and support its students.

Excellent course, less pretentious feel than other universities, friendly community. Nice campus, felt at home. Good research reputation. Overall, the best fit for me, compared with other universities offering similar courses
