Campus is not too big but makes it easier to make friends from different courses. Enough facilities for everyone with two separate libraries. Course is also great and enjoying it so far.

St Mary’s Is a fantastic university especially if you are a sports student as there are many opportunities to get involved in taster sessions a variety of clubs and gain experience in the sports industry. The staff in the centre for work place learning and careers centre are very hands on when it comes to helping you find employment in your field. You will never feel alone, the lecturers are also very nice and supportive when you put effort into your studies.

Campus is small but great atmosphere. When living on campus you get free meals everyday which is awesome. My favourite facility is the Performance education centre (PEC). This can be used by strength and conditioning/rehab students and sport performance teams/. It's a great space to do training with other athletes. My course is strength and conditioning and is a great choice for those looking for more than just sports science. It gives you the chance to work with athletes to work on their weaknesses and maintain/improve their strengths. There has been a few things that made me question the university for example we were given the wrong exam so we had to do another one which was very frustrating.

The course and my lecturers are brilliant. I thoroughly enjoy both the lectures and the seminars. The campus is very pretty and is small which I also like.

Great campus, small university so every student is connected with their teachers for efficient help 24/7. Great libraries especially for law

My experience at St Mary's University Twickenham has been one in which has brought some really great memories. The staff go above and beyond to cater for every student's needs and make everyone feel incredibly welcome. The campus is in a beautiful and scenic location, with links straight into London Waterloo. My course (Theology) offered a broad range of modules as well as the opportunity to go to Rome and Israel - something in which was only offered by this university! Careers service have been great in keeping in touch and have given really helpful advise for the future.

The facilities at this university are of an ok standard. Some areas could be better, in terms of hygiene overall there is a good level. However, the student union bar always has a sticky floor and isn't big enough for events that are supposed to be available to all members of the university. The community is great and most people are friendly and approachable for when needing help. Wednesday student nights are fab.

Campus is nice and small so everything is accessible. Get to know everyone with it being so small! Catered option for halls of residence is such a good idea! The course is great however with shortages of staff it can be difficult to get sufficient help. Student union is small but where it is a small uni if it was any bigger it would look empty all the time.

Great university with consistent support from lecturers and student services there! The student union is always warm and welcoming as always offering loads of fun activities for freshers and freebie opportunities for students too. Disability services support you as well and are fantastic at meeting your needs and ensuring your university experience is as best as it can be!

The sport facilities are incredible and there is a variety of equipment in the gym to used to improve yourself along with the athletic track on campus allowing students to go for a run whenever they feel like it without going away from their living spaces or go for run during lectures. The on campus Wi-Fi is really good and it helps massively when doing research where it does not require data or a mobile dongle.

Great sporting facilities which allow all abilities to use and as such everyone can get involved. Campus is looked after very well and the library is huge with loads of seating

St Mary's is such a wonderful University to attend! It's a small university campus set in a leafy, quieter part of greater London. The sense of community at St Mary's is notably strong, just passing through walkways you'll see friends you had made from first year in halls, your lecturers and perhaps the guy you kissed in the club the night before! Student services are the most approachable and helpful people I met as a fresher, when I needed an extension on my assignment due to health reasons, they wholly supported me and also played a role in my recovery by checking up on me throughout the semesters. I do a dual honours degree in English and Education Social Science, which entails a LOT of reading! The lecturers always give you a heads up with the reading and offer tutorials to check progress with essays and address any issues or concerns. The university's Student Union is small, and it can get a little over heated. The best and most popular events during a typical week would be Wednesday, where the SU sell bus2club tickets so students can get a lift to and from the club as well as entry for a fiver. Karaoke is also a popular one, once you've had a few Bevs from the bar you're all set to sing. For the more reserved people there are events like gaming and films, and some societies put on pizza and film evenings in lecture halls.

The university is based in South west London, with a small campus, their is a great spirit around the uni especially when the sun is out and everyone is out enjoying it. There are great sport facilities on the campus, with advanced training facilities which are used my professional athletes such as Mo Farah, England Rugby and travelling Rugby squads like New Zealand. Additionally, many of the GB paralympians use the facilities. However, the lectures at the university are help at times but can be fairly lazy when asked to help or give guidance. Majority of my lectures this year have failed to respond to basic emails.

The campus was nice and I liked that it was so close to London. Most of my lectures were lovely and kind.

The campus itself at st Mary's are beautiful. It's small and very green. The old buildings such as the church are also very stunning. The facilities themselves are also surprisingly good for a small university, though there are often a shortage of computer facilities in the main library there is another library a ten minute walk away that always has spare. The actual tutors are always lovely and very helpful and overall the teaching at the university is at a very high standard.

I studied Spors Science at St. Mary’s and what stood out to me was the community feel around campus. Everyone is so friendly and you literally feel at home and most importantly safe. The students union is fantastic with promoting events and the sports society is something you must get involved in for the full experience!

Terrible uni, was bullied here and uni did nothing about it. Felt unsafe and worried all the time. Wouldn’t recommend anyone to study here, stay away

Teaching structure for the most modules was amazing, facilities well maintained and most aspects of the university were good. Down side is the refectory food, overpriced and not of great quality most of the time

My university has provided me with the best 3 years of my life. The campus is welcoming and the small student community means you are never far from a friend. My life would not have excelled so if it had not been for st Mary’s .

Great campus and sports facilities in a good location. Top uni for sports degrees. Good lecturers also.

I think the University could have an relaxed seating area around campus as students may want to relax between lecture or before lecture as there are not that many facilities for students to relax that much. That would be really important.
