I really appreciate the friendliness of the community coming into university.! Adjusting from a different country is a hard thing to and the openness at Goldsmiths made it that much better.

Did visual anthropology.Dropped out.Jaw droppingly low stimulating,terrible quality of teaching from the lecturers,little to no support offered to students.Just plain awful.Teachers overall so full of self and absorbed in their research 24/7 it's just ridicolous.It's an utter shame scholars get paid to do such a sloppy job,it really is,for a crappy 1h/2h lecture a week?and allegedly,UK education is supposed to be of a good standard.Students,in my opinion,are left at their own mercy,the only support available coming from researchers (which are overloaded by the amount of work,of course) and fellow students (if).Leaving this university means leaving with an enormous amount of debt for no reason whatsoever.PUT YOUR and YOUR PARENTS hard earned money somewhere else,I really mean it.I really can't grasp what the fuss is about with this place-to me,just a hub for the stereotypical london hipster.A lot going on on the surface but that is pretty much it.Students aren't taken seriously enough,in my opinion,neither encouraged and supported enough.came across a couple of capable seminar teachers,but that's all I can really say.No real lead,not enough structure in both teaching and departmental organisation.Again,this is something that might suit a18 y old coming straight out of college,but I discourage any mature student to apply.Shockingly awful.Also,I must point out,I ve noticed a very disrespectful and obnoxious attitude overall from many of the lecturers and departmental staff.AVOID AVOID AVOID.

The overall university experience was good. The small number of students made it more homely. Generally a very creative atmosphere.

My experience in goldsmiths was a good one and I will extremely miss it. The campus building were all near by which made it easy to travel to lectures and seminars. I studied sociology with criminology, I preferred the criminology side to it better as it was more interesting for me. The career service was easy to get hold of when you need them. My lectures and seminars were useful in most modules, but the only problem I had in my final year of university is getting replies from my lecturers.

Nice university with a campus feel though hall of residence are not placed on campus. Good SU, library and buildings overall. Plenty of cafes and places to do work and study. Friendly and approachable feel overall.

The university campus is beautiful and the facilities are good, but there is a huge shortage of facilities, computer rooms and library space. The University os overcrowded and the admin teams and support services are terrible. There is a total lack of communication and care for students wellbeing and the courses offer very little education wise.

The university is poorly organised, doesn’t support its students and most of the courses are 9k a year despite only having two terms instead of three.

The campus is beautiful with a lot of communal space and well priced cafes. I study media and communications and I think that due to it being such a big department the organisation is good, however at times it seems as though we don’t get as much one to one tutoring/help as we should. The career space is very helpful, where you can drop in and get help with cv’s, internships, jobs etc. I think that the facilities for media are impressive, but not well balanced; for example the radio and TV facilities are great but the illustration isn’t so good. The library has loads of really good facilities and study space. Overall a good university with a welcoming community.

Goldsmiths university of London was a very inclusive, friendly and liberal university. The campus was great and always had something going on. Great selection of societies and hobbies to get involved with - everyone very friendly and accommodating. Careers service really useful too

Goldsmiths University of London was a very inclusive university. Great range of courses and extracurricular activities. Very easy to get involved in other hobbies or societies and the culture was very friendly and for all. Student union could be increased to accommodate more. Need more staff and access to services such as counselling and etc but overall very good.

It’s a great university with so much to offer to everyone. I’m in my first year and so far have a had a great time studying here and cannot wait to begin my second year. Simply because I am enjoying it so much !

Goldsmiths is a great university, and i really enjoy my time here and never regretted my decision. Facilities are alright, I very seldom had reason to complain. Halls are also comfortable and accessible. I think it could do more for disabled students and also for students from disadvantaged backgrounds. However, the student union is great and helpful. I learnt a lot of things at Goldmsiths. It is thought of as a liberal, open-minded, progressive space. Which it usually is. And that's the best part.

The campus is lovely, especially in summer when you can just chill and hang out on the quad with friends, the facilities have been really good even if the wifi can sometimes be a little hard to get onto, the careers service is always ready to help and is definitly worthy trip to see them

The campus is good and library is fantastic. As a student paying £9250 a year I don’t feel like I get most of the benefits that others students get and there is racial stigma between students but there should be more events for all sorts of people and it should have more resources available

My course is rewarding in so many ways and is worth the investment, my tutors are highly experienced in the industry I want to pursue and are dedicated to my success. The whole atmosphere on campus is creative and exciting and I’d hugely recommend it.

Goldsmiths is a multicultural university where everyone is encouraged to pursue what makes them happy and thrive artistically and academically like. Located in a great area of London and like minded people also very political which is great. Great teachers and staff and facilities

I chose this uni, because it had high ratings for my programme. I like it, but the location is very sketchy and sometimes the uni lacks some organization. However, it's very creative, gives you lots of theory and practice and is full of creative people like me.

Good university if specialising in the arts. An establishment which gives you creative leeway. Sometimes I believe their could be a slightly more balanced student opinion however this does not ruin my experiences at the university

Uni is okay, very limited in what options you can do on your course. Technologically inept. Lack of resources. Teaching is good. Also good location in London.

I didn't enjoy it much the place was small, the lecturers aren't very interesting or the modules. I felt very isolated and felt like I couldn't get help from teachers. However library was great.

It was a great place to be. Especially considering all the amazing people I have met. The course was easy, however the willingness of lecturers to discuss and talk to you and the great variety of extracurricular activities you could choose from made it a truly personal experience.
