Northeastern University London

Overall

Great place if you're serious about studying and are genuinely interested in the material, but not into the stress of a hyped Russell Group or another massive institution. NCH is a properly unique university and I've really enjoyed being a student there.

By the 2nd week of your degree you have an essay due. This helped me to get into the flow of things very quickly. Freshers week is also super fun because you get to know basically everyone, since there's only about 200 students total in the uni.

Course

NCH is a great place to study because it's quite small and academically oriented. My philosophy lectures had around 5 people, never more than 15, and some as small as 4 (including me). The tutors at NCH are brilliant - they challenge you but support you so that you are constantly improving as a student. The 1-to-1 tutorials are priceless. In this way NCH is probably more demanding than most other unis, but it's a far more chilled place than highly competitive places like Oxbridge, and other Russell Groups. I found my philosophy cohort super supportive and we helped each other a lot throughout our degree. And the well-being support at NCH was very reliable and helpful as well.

Unilife

London is our campus. Soho and Covent Garden just out the door. Senate House Library and British Museum 2 minutes away. About 10 different tube lines within a 10 minute walk from college.
