" An amazing course and teaching staff. I would highly recommend this specific course for anyone interested in the neuroscience and psychology of sound. Facilities were also good, including the on-site gym, library, multiple computer labs, and bar. "

" The academic side of Goldsmiths is only let down by it's administration, which can be a bit of a pain. The main issues arise from the poor standards for accommodation with very high prices to pay, for example in my 1st year I paid around £179 a week for a room with an en suite bathroom which was littered with issues. This year (2nd year), I have been able to afford a flat with 5 of my friends in a much better location for around £40 a week cheaper. Though I have had to sacrifice being away from campus, I have made this trade off by moving into central London. Another issue is that there is no real facilitation of sports within Goldsmiths and it feels like not all groups are truly cared for, as you can't find societies that one would expect to find in such a big name university.

" Despite it being a small uni there is a wide variety of facilities. I did feel societies and clubs were underdeveloped with little structure given to the ones I signed up for. I can only comment on the psychology department, which has made a great effort to provide care and support for students throughout the course. "

" I've never regretted choosing this university. Great academic stuff, always willing to help with anything. The campus has also great facilities. Frankly, I expected to be more demanding in terms of studying (I'm European student) as I'm usually used to higher demands when it comes to studying. I always felt like it's all just about independent learning. I think there should be more of 'pushing' from the staff. But it is only my personal opinion and it seems to be the case with many unis in UK. But otherwise I would definitely recommend it to anyone! "
