"I've always felt London Met has a very unique feel and brand to it. It's not your typical big university. It's a community university – there’s a really good atmosphere to it."

Aaron Patel – London Met graduate

"The lecturers and everyone surrounding me were so caring and generous with their time and with their effort. I really felt more of part of a family rather than an educational institution."
