“Queen Mary’s self-contained campus in the fashionable East End of London is the most extensive in the capital … Students welcome the relatively low prices (for the capital) in east London, and their proximity to the lively youth culture of Spitalfields, Shoreditch and Brick Lane.”

“[Queen Mary] has students from all walks of life, You are always welcome and can always fit in, no matter where you come from or where you want to go.”

“..social engagement was taken to a new level in recent years with Queen Mary sponsoring a string of schools in the capital. One of these was St Paul’s Way Trust School, in Tower Hamlets, which was failing in February 2010 when Queen Mary stepped in. The university went on to help St Paul’s Way set up a sixth-form college under a new head teacher, and the results have been astonishing.”

What we got was a group of highly motivated young people bursting with enthusiasm about their job prospects and highly pragmatic about the cost of their education. Without exception, they regarded the money they were spending on putting themselves through university as an investment in their future careers, arguing that paying tuition fees had also made them look more carefully at the quality of their education.”
"The science students, in particular, were adamant that they wanted to put their training and technical skills to use in jobs in science and engineering.”
