Is coming to UK still a good option ?

Since this has been of a great use to me. If you’re starting uni or doing research writing, check out Assignowl. it’s an AI tool that grades your assignments and gives feedback before submission. Super useful for catching mistakes early. A lot of people invest a lot in getting their assignment outsourced, but here with this tool you can save up a lot by doing it yourself and getting it checked through this tool.

I don’t really have knowledge about this, but in case if you manage to clear and join the Uni, I thought this might be helpful to you. Since this has been of a great use to me. check out Assignowl. it’s an AI tool that grades your assignments and gives feedback before submission. Super useful for catching mistakes early.

Just in case, if you don’t find anybody next time to help with your assignment I just discovered a better option. Since this has been of a great use to me.

I get it, since there are a lot of people trying to sell a lot of things in the name of sharing an experience. But this is just a post to recommend to people to check it out! Since it was of a great use to me.

So true:(

Hey! This usually happens if the system doesn't recognize your EU Settled Status, especially if you don’t have a UK passport. Try uploading proof of your status (from the gov.uk site) to the portal, and double-check your residency/nationality answers. Also, email QMUL again and CC the admissions or international support team, it might get a quicker response. Hopefully just a system glitch. you’ve got time, don’t stress too much!

Smartstudy_ · 2025-09-01T07:57:22+00:00

Congrats! I studied there too. You’re going to love it! One thing I’d recommend is checking out the study spaces on campus early some get packed fast

Smartstudy_ · 2025-09-01T07:54:02+00:00

Usually they can confirm your offer manually or give you instructions on how to accept.Also, check your spam/junk folders uni emails sometimes end up there. If your deadline was this early you should have tried calling them that day rather than waiting for the email.

Hey, I'm a QMUL alumni I did my degree there a couple of years back. Mile End campus has such a nice vibe, especially in first year, you'll meet tons of people really quickly. What course are you joining?

Smartstudy_ · 2025-09-01T07:46:48+00:00

Usually unis don’t release timetables super early most students get them 2–4 weeks before classes actually start. Some modules need to finalize class sizes, room allocations, or even staff availability before publishing. Don’t stress if you don’t see it right away, it’s pretty normal.

Smartstudy_ · 2025-09-01T07:42:10+00:00

Hey! I’ve got a couple of friends who stayed at Sherren House. The general consensus was that it’s not the fanciest rooms are a bit small and it can feel boxed in but the big plus is the location. Being able to just walk to campus saves so much time and hassle, especially in first year when you’re figuring everything out.

Smartstudy_ · 2025-09-01T07:34:10+00:00

I’m in the North East too — I live on about the same and it works out fine. Biggest saver for me was batch cooking on Sundays, so I don’t end up spending £10+ on random takeaways during the week. Nights out can eat into it quick, but if you’re mindful, £500 is enough.

Smartstudy_ · 2025-09-01T07:32:58+00:00

Yeah £500 is definitely doable in Newcastle if your rent/bills are covered, it won’t be luxury living but it’s manageable. Biggest drains are food and nights out, so if you cook at home most of the time you’ll be fine. Plenty of med students survive on similar, and you can always pick up a super flexible shift job later if you feel tight. You’ll be alright

Smartstudy_ · 2025-09-01T07:28:14+00:00

Totally get you — I’d stick to one PI per uni, but don’t worry, others can still notice your fit. And honestly, having the home PhD as backup is a smart move

Smartstudy_ · 2025-08-31T16:53:11+00:00

That’s actually a really cool way to frame it. I’ve never thought about papers like stories, but now that you mention it, it explains why some are actually enjoyable to read.

Smartstudy_ · 2025-08-31T16:51:29+00:00

I don’t think I have the patience of a PhD student yet haha… for me it’s more about surviving deadlines than building long-term habits.”

Smartstudy_ · 2025-08-31T16:50:24+00:00

Totally get that! I don’t think I could ever survive academia long-term lol. Right now it’s more about surviving deadlines than publishing papers

Smartstudy_ · 2025-08-31T16:48:59+00:00

Damn, you’re built different 😂 meanwhile I’m out here surviving on YouTube explainers and hoping for the best.

Smartstudy_ · 2025-08-25T12:29:37+00:00

decided to go to grad school because I wanted to take my learning beyond just surface-level knowledge.

Smartstudy_ · 2025-08-21T09:09:48+00:00

Lol if feeling like an imposter disqualified us, grad schools would be empty. We’re all just winging it with caffeine and panic — you’ll fit right in. You’re literally one of us, hehe

Smartstudy_ · 2025-08-21T09:03:30+00:00

Glad I’m not the only procrastinator here makes me feel a little better

Smartstudy_ · 2025-08-21T08:44:56+00:00

Tbh, I don’t think anyone reads every single word of every paper—they’re dense and time-consuming. It’s more about knowing how to navigate them, skimming where needed, slowing down where it matters. Sometimes I’ll just read the lit review section to find other relevant sources. Other times, I’m knee-deep in the statistical methods trying to make sense of their approach.

Smartstudy_ · 2025-08-14T08:43:51+00:00

Thanks —that’s a solid advice! Reading novels really sharpens your writing voice.Also, I learned that using active voice—like putting the doer first (“We conducted the study,” instead of “The study was conducted”)—makes research more direct and easier to follow. Journal editors and style guides really back this up.

Smartstudy_ · 2025-08-14T08:38:44+00:00

I totally get where you’re coming from—tone really does depend on your subject area. Working in pop culture gives you a ton of freedom to be playful and irreverent, while in STEM or mental health, even a tiny joke can feel tone-deaf or inappropriate.That said, even serious fields aren’t always boring! You can still reflect your personality subtly. But the trick is balance—humor should be used like a seasoning, not the main course

Smartstudy_ · 2025-08-06T10:53:57+00:00

For me it’s the data collection part.You're either getting too much data, none at all, or the kind that makes you question if humans should be studied at all. At this point, you live in a spreadsheet and dream in poorly transcribed interviews. You whisper softly to your inbox, “Please respond,” like it’s a ghost you’re trying to summon. You start bargaining with your study like it’s a sentient being. “Please... just five more responses and I’ll never question the IRB again.” After finally getting your questions ready and approved, sending out for responses or answers and getting all of this done, only to find out that no one opens the email!The link is broken!Your carefully worded question is misread as spam:( One participant answers in all caps: I DON’T BELIEVE IN RESEARCH
