Middlesex University students on Whatuni say:
“Being in Hendon feels like being in the suburbs of London, where we are close enough to central to have easy access, but far enough away to have larger accommodations, fewer people, and in a town filled with university students. Because of the university location, many students live in the Hendon or Collindale area, allowing us to meet each other more easily.”
The university’s main campus in Hendon is leafy, sustainable and safe, and definitely has the buzz of London too.
