Goldsmiths, University Of London

Small and a little chockablock - but nice little campus, attentive staff, great menu choices. Gets out parental approval for sure

Great University. Daughter studying there.

1 star because Bahar Mustafa, who tweeted "kill all white men", is still on your staff

I put up a post about my daughter doing a class and was not happy how she was treated. I have spoken to the people running the course and realise I misunderstood. I would like to apologise to Goldsmiths. Its hard for a parent not to react to their child being upset. But I now know through meeting the course leaders that they care about my daughter. So once again deep apologies.

I graduated with a BA Designs degree a few years ago. The university is small so facilities such as the library and cafe are cramped with students. Good luck finding a seat. The course was average but unfortunately it did not succeed with my career choice. The design studios are too small, so there's always slots that are booked using the machines. .etc. The classes did not provide much education so skills were limited especially for beginners, so it was more "you can do it yourself" attitude. I think it got to the point where I wanted to quit my second year but I thought I'll continue until then. I didn't really enjoy the environment in my class so I didn't want to socialise with most of them as they thought they were better than others. Some teachers had favourites which obviously gives off the wrong impression to other students who work hard as well. If I could change universities I wish I did, but everyone has their own judgement.

Meh. Goldsmiths has some amazing lecturers/tutors, but there are also a couple tutors who have major issues. You got a wide berth of students from nerds, to drama geeks to major frat-like partiers. Some students aren't serious at all and are here for the London experience. The school seems bent on its historical privilege and reputation, but honestly, I've learned it's just a public state school enrolling anyone from nearby. Yet, I was duped to thinking it was a really higher ed and jobs afterwards from an international perspective. I'm glad I went here, but if I could do it over again... and you are in Art and Design - I recommend going to RCA or Ravensbourne instead. Goldsmiths does have a killer research library and reasonable pricing for tuition, supplies and food.

I'm a second year BA Media and Comms student at Goldsmiths. It's an arty, quirky uni with nice facilities BUT we all know Goldsmiths has terrible organisation. And (non teaching) staff occasionally come across as very impatient, annoyed or grumpy. Overall a good uni but it has its flaws.
Library is top notch.
