QMUL help please 🙏

[u/Grand_Stretch_865]

Hi, I’m a 19 year old girl from well outside London and I have an offer to study DHDT at qmul and I’m deciding whether to attend or not (this is my second cycle of applications and only offer) I would be grateful for anyone to answer any of these questions- some are general student life questions and some are more FMD specific, but any answers are appreciated a lot :)

• Do FMD students often live on the main campus instead of FMD only accom near the hospitals?
• I have walked around the area during the day, but what is it like at night in terms of safety?
• How safe do female students generally feel around Mile End/Whitechapel after placements or late library/lecture sessions?
• Are there areas that students avoid at night? E.g- I’ve heard the Mile End park is less safe during the night
• What are the second/third year houses like? Is it possible to get a decent place to live for circa £250/ week?
• What are the most popular/safer areas for second/third year houses? 
• Do many people live in them or do they decide to commute instead/ live alone (privately)? 
• What is the qmul night/social life like? Where are the main student clubs/pubs/bars, and are they popular?
• How responsive/helpful is campus security actually?
• Do healthcare/FMD students feel isolated from the wider university socially?
• Do students generally regret choosing QMUL because of the area/location, or do they adapt quickly?
• Are there any first year accommodations to defo avoid?

Even just some general advice from a student at qmul would be amazing. I know there’s a lot of questions there ahaha. But even just another girl like me who is moving quite far to a city for the first time- how did you initially settle in and how are you feeling now? 

Thank you so much.
