How has your experience been studying in London?
Starting my university experience during a global pandemic was challenging. However, studying in London has given me access to a host of opportunities and experiences both socially and career-wise. I love the fact that the university is located within the hub of central London so it's literally not too far from anywhere, whether you want to go shopping in Oxford Street, or to a conference in King's Cross.
