Middlesex University plays host to an incredibly diverse student population, which I believe is one of its most unique traits. Having it be visible to you day by day on campus, how there are students of all nationalities and ages attending the university, really fosters your sense of belonging. On the other hand, one aspect of Middlesex University that could stand to be improved is their very own MDX app, which logs you out every couple of days without giving a reason.

The Creative Writing and Journalism course is incredibly engaging and flexible. Currently, as a first year, we have two days of in-class lectures, for our four modules, a week, and are assigned writing tasks to complete in our own time across the rest of the week. The course, as clear from its name, focuses on developing your journalistic writing skills, as well as improving your storytelling capabilities, which was the exact balance I was looking to study. I have no negative comments to make.

Usher Hall offers exclusively ensuite rooms, so it's very nice to have your own bathroom. They also have Resident Assistants and a 24/7 security office you can visit at any time, as well as a management team that is there most days until 17:00. Located across the road from and literally facing Middlesex University, it could not be in a more convenient area. Some drawbacks that make me think that you're not completely getting the best value for your money include the fact that a kitchen cleanup team only comes once a week to lightly sweep the kitchen floor and leave, which is shocking to me as I know others who pay less for their university accommodation have a cleanup team come in at least once a day. Another thing is their boasted on-site launderettes are in fact only two tiny rooms with one washing machine and dryer each, that all of the hall has to share. Additionally, these same launderettes stop operating every day at 23:00 for no clear reason, further restricting the amount of time people have to manage their clothes washing. In a similar light, common rooms also have a curfew of 00:00, or 2:00 on some days, which is enforced by the security guard coming to kick you out. Overall, whether or not there are good reasons for these decisions is overshadowed by the fact that it costs £202 a week to live here, at least when I paid upfront. But who knows, maybe that's all standard for London and I'm just not used to it.
